I've never looked closely at a Zendikar booster pack, but I imagine that the fine print legally has to warn you that you might get this card.

This card would've been terrible even by Homelands standards. It's actually kind of nostalgic to see awful underpowered creatures like this. Makes me long for my first games of Magic, where we'd just take the huge box of junk cards someone's older brother gave us, each take all the cards of a single color, and proceed to hammer at each other with Gray Ogre and Silver Erne.
One difference I've noticed aside from the power level is that for a long time there seemed to be a pretty clear formula for how much total power/toughness you get for your mana: 2 for 1, 4 for 2, 5 for 3, 6-7 for 4, 8-9 for 5, 10-11 for 6. Special abilities like flying, first strike, or trample were worth 1 power or toughness point. If you wanted to print a creature that was stronger than its mana cost would allow, you gave it drawbacks, which made players think hard about how to minimize those drawbacks or even turn them into advantages. Now, there doesn't seem to be any c... (see all)

I'm usually a guy that looks at sub-par cards and goes "hey, this could be cool in this deck", or "well it sucks but I'm gonna use it anyway because of the flavor", but come on.. this is one of the worst cards ever printed, period. Completely useless.

This card makes fun of certain players that "can't play the game unless they control stupid Vampires".

You know a cards bad when you'd be better off playing a face down morph creature.

You know everyone, this combos AMAZING with Mirrorweave. It makes all creatures a copy of one. cast this on mindless null, no one can block, unleash your attack as they can't defend!
I FOUND USE FOR THIS CARD!

@ SocialExperiment
Actully there is a use for this card that Scathe Zombies does not have.
Mindless Null is imune to lure.
But honestly...Terrible card.
