It's got eight legs... WTF?!? I won't play any insect that hasn't got the right number of legs.

Good for enabling Morbid mechanics for no mana cost.

Oh woe is me! Living in a world where no one considers the Multiplayer possibilities! This card is great for multiplayer as a rattlesnake card, driving attackers elsewhere for fear of having to discard their hand, and let me tell you, alot of players hate having to part with their hand, and this thing is just too small to throw removal at, a benefit to being a seemingly weak creature.
4/5! It's the weevil that can save your life in the political world of multiplayer, make your opponent throw away their cards, and maybe get in for a point of damage or two when it really counts.

This isn't delicious jello. This is the weevil! And we do as the weevil asks!

Enables morbid, feeds your blue zombies, can enable discard at a time when your opponents don't have too much choice.
That, and it's a 1/1 with evasion, if your opponent isn't playing black or artifact creatures. At least it isn't completely useless if you draw it after your opponent is out of cards.

this was scary - I expected it to be crap, but when it came down and made me discard I was rather hurt.
But, I think the 'secret' is to think more about yourself - either to self-mill or to trigger Morbid.
This has a LOT of options for just one card, which makes me evaluate it much higher than I did initially (I cut it quickly from my sealed, and now that I think about it, it would have been awesome in my deck!)

@Superllama12
It is a pretty bad card , in the sense that it tries to do many things (evasion, morbid, discard) and ends up with an unreasonably high cost, but that's because it's a common card. In that light, it's quite unfair to compare it to Bloodline Keeper.

I actually don't think is the worst. Apparently one of the big challenges in Limited with this set is getting Morkrut Banshee to turn the hell on, and t4 this guy t5 Banshee is certainly a way to go about winning some games. Also pretty great with any other Morbid cards, but if you're going to go big you may as well go Banshee.

It does a bunch of different things that would benefit a very specific type of self-discard reanimator type deck; that deck will obviously have better ways to accomplish those things, but maybe not all at once on the same card.
Even so, every time I try to put it in a deck I see that 4 cost and 1/1 body and sorcery-speed ability and have to pass, regardless of how awesome it looks.
