Cutest Golgari card ever, and one of my current favorite cards of all time. It's perfect. This is probably the best use of Scavenge, and it gets better with Lotleth Troll and Corpsejack Menace.

There is really no drawback to this card. Go adorable Golgari head squid!

I am honestly surprised no one has mentioned how Jarad's Orders was made for this card. Search for your important creature and slip Slitherhead into your graveyard.

Ironically probably going to go in my simic deck. I might as well make a Ravinica B/U/G deck...haha bugs...they're trying to tell us something.
Also, things like Joraga warcaller could use this. Or basically anything with double strike. You can also, if I'm not mistaken, use scavenge as a combat trick. Which I think is great. Too bad most scavenge cards are overcosted.

@Nucleon: Another advantage over Arcbound Worker is that this card never has to be in play to use its ability -- if it's discarded to your graveyard from your library or your hand, you can still take advantage of it. That works well in Dredge or Madness decks, for instance.

The opponent will find it difficult to notice this is also anti-Undying tech. You can scavenge onto their Geralf's Messenger and keep it from coming back; which is awesome.

This has done wonders in my zombie deck with Unbreathing Horde. seriously. 4 of these in the grave means you've got a nearly unkillable 8/8 for 2B. now THAT is mana well spent.

This card would be a good one drop for any zombie deck really. I could easily see using these early game on my Phylactery Lich's. Plenty of ways for me to sac creatures in a zombie deck. Definitely need to get the 3 more I need to complete a set of these.

I BET YOU THINK THAT ALL OF THESE STORIES ARE PRETEND BUT GUESS WHAT THIS ONE IS FOR REAL! HOW DO I KNOW? WELL I KNOW BECAUSE I AM LOOKING AT YOU AND I KNOW ALL OF YOUR SECRETS! I EVEN KNOW YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL. ONE DAY I LOOKED AT YOU IN THE BATH ROOM. MAYBE I WILL BREAK SOMETHING AND TELL EVERYBODY IT WAS YOU. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME. BUT GUESS WHAT?
I AM A DEAD SKULL!!!
(what I am saying is that I rather enjoy this card yes)

I like the flavor and the Scavenge {0} but it seems to me Wizards just made this too much weaker than the rest of the cycle. I'd say making it a 2/1 would be too powerful, but giving it Reach or something couldn't hurt. Especially with Judge's Familiar in the cycle.
