Swampwalk is underappreciated.
In a proper deck, Swampwalk = unblockable, regardless of what the opponent is doing, black has the most ways to turn a land into a swamp, from the lowest Evil Presence up to the epic Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth (with a delicious phyrexian theme).

Glad I hesitated buying a Reya Dawnbringer for my Reanimator.

It that betrays is a very good card to play with shelodred. In fact, Any Black eldrazi themed decks are good for sheloded. you can easily summon her, using eldrazi spawn, AND, she will destroy your opponent's creatures, opening the way for Emrakul, The Aeons Torn, Kozilek, Butcher of truth, Or Ulamog, the infinite gyre.

I feel like you should start singing the trolol song if you use this to bring Phyrexian Obliterator back.

How is this rated lower than Reya Dawnbringer? Maybe because it's black or people think it's too powerful?

If she weren't the embodiment of Phyrexian evil, she'd be my soulmate.
I want to play this U/B lockdown with Zombie Infestation and Quicksilver Amulet. Load my deck with removal, draw spells, and counters. Use mana for control and playing my creatures for free (and get a 2/2 zombie).

Fantastic.
I could gush about her endlessly. Sure, she doesn't rule the board from the second she's dropped like Elesh Norn does, but I still hear plenty of groans from the other side of the table when I play her. Her and Jin Gitaxis are my one-two punch for reanimator. Discard a handfull of creatures with Jin, while reanimating them with Sheoldred, and making sure I have complete board control over my opponent. Sure, swampwalk is absolutely useless, but does it really matter? It's like deathtouch on Grave Titan. It seems tacked on at the last minute, but the card would be fine without it. She doesn't wipe the board like Mrs. Norn, but she will always be my favorite praetor.
5/5

Reanimator? I hardly knew her!
Now that that's out of my system, what is there to say about this card that isn't obvious? If she isn't wiped off the field quickly you're probably going to win. A sure fire way to paint a target on your face in EDH. Sure swampwalk isn't as impressive as the other praetor's keyworded abilities, but people aren't playing Elesh Norn because she has vigilance you know.

It's a shame you don't have a humanoid lower half, my dear. A damn shame.
That said, ALL GLORY TO NEW PHYREXIA!!!
