The positive side of this card:
- Flavor text fits very well with the art.
A few negative points:
- CMC/P/T-Relation
- Reprinted without new art/flavor text since a while.

It is what it is. Might have a use in draft where a 4/3 generic still has a bit of clout. Although it would be filler perhaps even in draft.

In all truth, I'd rather have a 3/4 than a 4/3.
The reason for printing this makes sense: Black needs a common vanilla biggy, so here it is. In a draft, a Zombie Goliath may find itself to be more valuable than drawing a Rise from the Grave, depending on the situation.
You all have to keep in mind that the 
cost is very splashable, and creatures are highly necessary in Drafts. If you don't have creatures in a Draft, you are probably not going to do well.
Regardless, it is very unsatisfying when this gets Searing Spear'ed, and thus why I'd rather have a 3/4.

Why does this still exist? How about Renegade Demon? Although zombies are better, so maybe just add a point of power or two points of toughness to this and it won't be abysmal. Compare to Stone Golem, even colorless gets better than this.

Combos with losing and being a terrible player.

This card loses roughly 0.1 star with each reprint so, in a few years, Gatherer will have to allows ratings under 0.5 star. Please, R&D, do something before that happens.

At least give it new art?

It's hard to make him playable, especially when your opponent is playing superior creatures. This guy has a home in intro sets that introduce the game to newer players though.

This serves 2 purposes
1) Filling up your booster/intro pack with a bad card.
2) Filling up limited with a bad card

This is rated lower than Wood Elemental but higher than Bog Hoodlums and Face of Fear?
