This... isn't a legend? Wow. I don't really know what to think. Mirror Entity+tokens galore seems like the obvious choice, but it's probably too mana intensive.

If your signature takes up more lines than your actual post does, you should fix one or both of them.
Sure, stuff like Snapping Drake and Goblin Piker are for limited. But Null isn't even playable against a 5 year old whose hand consists of a 6 of Clubs, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Chimney Imp, and a very large cumquat.
I have a feeling decks that use the first ability aren't going to be using the second one much.
Importantly, the second ability doesn't require tapping; if you wind up playing this guy on turn 7 or 8 and don't have anything else to do with your mana, it's a nice bonus, I suppose.

Wow, this card does not dissapoint. I'll play the card for the first ability but I love it for the second haha, good for wizards for going the extra distance and putting in something casually awesome on an already pretty sweet card.
w00t, more gas for my Dimir deck! This guy is gonna be useful as a way to produce meatshields to help mill survive to lategame where their bigger mill spells really shine.
What we're doing here is akin to taking the text of Moby Dick, locating specific words therein, rearranging them to create a passage from Fight Club, and concluding from this evidence that Tyler Durden is based on Ahab.
So 2 zombie lords in this block to make up for the utter lack of zombies in Shadowmoor and Eventide? Is that how that worked out???
On topic: MUHAHAHHA, i love this dude. As for why its not a legend, that answer is obvious....its a zombie lord. You don't make a zombie lord a legend. What i really like about this guy is not only is he efficently costed, but he goes in two different decks. Weee fun!
Pretty sweet for casual, I think. Too bad it's not in the better Zombie colours (BW) but I guess UBW is fine. Also too bad that it's at the same mana cost as the other two lords. But still pretty sweet.
I can't wait to vote for this in the "Worst Card Art" poll when reborn comes out. Seriously I thought this card was fake when I first looked at the picture because its so bad.
The face on this guy is hilarious. It's like he's trying too hard to look mean. Cool new lord. His second ability will kill your opponent way before it can mill him. What the hell. Well, he does own in any kind of stalemate with his reusable Gempalm Polluter ability.
Nice guy, non legendary, cheap token producing and with a lifeloss/mill ability built in. Limited very nice, constructed probably a bit weak but it might be worth testing in a zombie deck for the drain/mill ability.
Finally - a Lich that makes sense right out of the gate. Watch this one - he's going to be a High Pick in Limited, but I predict he'll be downplayed and pooh-poohed for Type II... until he shows up in a kick-ass deck that will take everybody by surprise. The Zombie label is the deal closer on this little gem...

Thank god the things in this block that aren't reprints are bad. It makes it easier to get singles.
