This creature is actually better than Drudge Skeletons.

I ordered 20 Snow-Covered Swamps and 4 of this guy to replace my Drudge Skeletons. This guy and Fog of Gnats have really made my deck for me early game. After having played both this and Drudgies, I don't understand why this is rated lower then the later. This is my favorite one drop in the game by far.

Pretty freakin awesome. One mana cheaper than drudgies, and any color of mana to regen, as long as you have snow lands, which are definetly better 100% of the time.
5/5. Beats the crap out of you.

If ever you are considering Drudge Skeletons, remember this guy, make your mana base snow, and make your curve that much lower.

This card can really keep you safe when you play a control deck. It's hated by many people around me now!^^
The worst thing I - or it - can imagine though is trample...
Fun thing to combine with Dead-Iron Sledge - hehehe... :D

And he won't just die... One of the best one-drops there is, if you just replace your Swamps with Snow-covered Swamps...

Looks like he is getting in an early morning powerwalk.

Holy crap, how are people not rating this higher?
It's a one-drop 1/1 with regeneration, which in anybody's book should be awesome. To top that off, the activation cost for the regeneration ability isn't even color-specific, it's just snow-specific. With the {B} casting cost that makes this guy easily splashable; the only thing you'd have to do is make sure most if not all of your other lands are of the snow-covered variety, and snow-covered basic lands are not expensive by any measure. Hell, there are even dual snow lands if you don't want to screw up your mana variety, e.g. Tresserhorn Sinks.
Will-o'-the-Wisp is still better because it's a one-drop regenerator with flying, but it's a very close thing. This guy is a close second, or possibly tied for second.

such a cheap cost for a regenerating creature ;) it was awesome in limited, albeit it was a shame that we had to draft our snowcovered lands to go alongside it...
