Not sure if it's the "cheap" scavenge cost or the haste outside of red that's giving it uncommon. Slitherhead says it's the scavenge, but Strangleroot Geist tells me it's the haste.
which one do I believe?

This guy was a beast at the prerelease for me, very early pressure in a format that at least where I was playing didn't see very many creatures before turn three.

Hey, it's a scavenge card that doesn't completely suck! In fact, it's pretty good! 4 stars.

This zombie is very good in midrange. Haste on a 3/3 three drop is very good. Then late game, giving your finishing creature three +1 counters has the potential of being game winning. The Scavenging cost isn't cheap, but that won't matter late in the game.

It's a pity that a 3 cmc hasty 3/3 with a useful and flavorful ability and a nice creature type stands by moments with rating less than 4. People are getting too used to overpowered-ness and no one appreciates what, in my opinion, is one of the best creatures with scavenge, and a golgari-punch to the face. BACK TO THE SWARM!!

This card is a good example of how scavenge should be costed
Scavenge 3 ~ 5 mana cost
I would suggest the three mana range for a creature with two power
3/3 haste on a 3 cost multi colored creature is also pretty awesome!
Love it when creatures have more than one selling points that arent necessarely related to the same strategy.
Solid 4 from me

@ RAV0004
It's not the fact that he has haste (black has several creatures with haste - it's haste in GREEN that is unusual for the color pie.)
My guess is the amount you get for the mana. Most 3 CMC haste creatures have a P under 3, those that don't are uncommon or even rare in extreme cases. in addition, he has no drawback. A 3/3 for 3 is a decent common. A 3/3 haste is a boring uncommon. a 3 CMC 3/3 Zombie with haste with a decent second ability is getting an awful lot for your money. Consider he would easily be rare and very fun if he was a 4/3.

In many ways, I feel this splits the difference between Boggart Ram-Gang (3/3 Haste for 3 CMC) and Sprouting Thrinax (3/3 for 3 CMC that puts 3 points of power on the field after it dies). It's a welcome addition to my modern Jund deck.

i guess haste makes it a good adition to jund deck just in the case you cascade into it
