this thing is way too powerful :<
he dominates earlygame because of his low CMC and mystery pumping. nobody can predict how many creatures it's owner has to discard.
then he dominates lategame because trample, regeneration, and the aforementioned pumping mechanic.
That is stupid. a creature shouldn't be a clear no-brainer choice in any deck that matches its colors.

This will be so nice to use in zombies. All those phyrexian counter and removal cards will be gone and zombies will still have access to Gravecrawler. Plus with all the dual-land cards coming out in RtR, it will be very easy for zombie to go into more than just BG, but also Jund or BUG. Turn 1 put out a gravecrawler or diregraf ghoul, and then turn 2 you can bring out this guy and if you have gravecrawlers in hand you can just discard them for +1/+1 on him and then bring out the gravecrawlers next turn. Turn 3 you get a 3/2 (or more) with trample, plus a (2/1)/(2/2) depending on what you played turn 1, plus the very solid geralf's messenger for your turn 3 creature. Finally, zombies has their solid 2 drop, and at the cost of virtually nothing. I love it.

Unbelievable with Corpsejack Menace and Increasing Savagery. Here's a fun standard legal combo: Discard 2 slitherhead, ghoulcallers chant, discard them again, exile them... swing for 8 on turn 3 and have mana open to regenerate. 0.0
5/5

Hey if another card you use would have you discard a card, could you discard a creature and pump this guy?

I don't like playing Golgari, so having to sit across from this all weekend was miserable. Although Stab Wound -ing it is funny as hell.

Won me first prize at the Prerelease. A top tier threat in Constructed and degenerate in Limited, especially if you get a good pool of Scavengers such as Slitherhead.

Perhaps one of the more fortunate things to happen to me upon my return to Ravnica was getting my hands on a playset of these fairly quickly. This guy is awesome.
