This has potential... a LOT of potential. Especially at instant speed.

This card is absolutely perfect, My friends see this card as a 2/2 black zombie with flash with a drawback. I SAY NEIGH, this is a 2/2 black zombie with flash with an amazing ability, I play only legacy so from now on I will be taking four of these to every tournament from now until eternity. Surgical Extraction/Extirpate are great weapons against reanimator decks but this guy is beyond ridiculous not only do you stop them from reanimating a creature of theirs, you also net a 2/2 body FO'FREE

We sure do have a lot of card to play should reanimator ever become a deck.

The instant speed makes this wonderful against Unburial Rites and Eldrazi as well as making flash blockers.

This card has a chance of making main deck in zombies.
A 2/2 Black Zombie token with flash for B with there needing to be a creature in a graveyard anywhere? I'll take it.

Not bad. Not as good as cremate though.

This set sure has a lot of graveyard hate. This card is so good, though, I would play it even if I wasn't graveyard hatin'.

I think Diregraf Ghoul is very, VERY close to this card, but it may be just a slight bit worse.
The main difference is two things: Speed and penalty.
Speed: This spell is obviously faster, since it plays at Instant speed (it IS an Instant ☺), and when the creature comes into play, it isn't tapped. It can also be played on your opponents turn, which can both trick them and allow you to attack almost immediately after playing it.
Penalty: Although Diregraf Ghoul comes into play tapped, it can still be played on turn 1. Vile Rebirth would need to somehow mill/discard 1 creature with one card, and then exile it to play it on turn 1. Otherwise, you might have to wait until turn 3+ to play it, and on turn 3+, do you really want to play a 2/2 Zombie? But then again, which would you rather play: A 2/2 Zombie with Flash or a 2/2 Zombie that comes into play tapped.
Regardless, if you're making a deck with a lot of cheap creatures with penalties (a... (see all)
