I love the artwork that shows the tingler in action (Spinal Embrace).

Part of Invasion's cycle of 2-mana friendly color gold common creatures, all of which had protection from their shared enemy color:

Galina's Knight - WhiteBlue (Merfolk Knight)
Llanowar Knight - GreenWhite (Elf Knight)
Shivan Zombie - BlackRed (Barbarian Zombie)
Vodalian Zombie - BlueBlack (Merfolk Zombie)
Yavimaya Barbarian - RedGreen (Elf Barbarian)

Apocalypse, two sets later, released an interesting cycle of 2-mana enemy color gold common creatures, all of which had different abilities:

Gaea's Skyfolk - GreenBlue (Elf Merfolk)
Goblin Legionnaire - RedWhite (Goblin Soldier)
Llanowar Dead - BlackGreen (Zombie Elf)
Putrid Warrior - BlackWhite (Zombie Soldier - later Warrior was added)
Razorfin Hunter - BlueRed (Merfolk Goblin)

@allmighty_abacus not really, zombies are a really strong archetype, even before Innistrad they were pretty solid. And the pro white is especially useful in zombies because white generally exiles creatures instead of just destroying them like the other colors tend to do, and a destroyed zombie only stays that way for so long.

And @A3Kitsune, multicolored creatures can receive benefits from cards like Ashenmoor Liege and Fists of the Demigod that the others don't Think like a Johnny, not like a Timmy when it comes to playing cards that are clearly not tournament worthy.

strictly identical to goblin outlander.

I think the outlander is better though because goblins are cooler than zombies. Plus the art on this card is kinda meh.

Goblin Outlander is generally better, due to tribal interactions.

Good for the start of a game, but there are better zombies (and even barbarians) out there to cast.

Goblin Outlander for goblins, but this guy is pretty darn sweet for zombies! Going to pick up a playset for my BR zombie deck :)
