I got 3 of these in my B/G/U self-mill deck, and I discovered an awesome combo:
Get this guy into your graveyard (somehow), and have at least one creature that has "T: Draw a card, discard a card", like merfolk looter or thought courier. Activate their ability, and return Golgari Grave-Troll to your hand instead of drawing a card. Then mill 6 cards, and discard Golgari Grave-Troll.
This basically changes the afore-mentioned card texts to "T: Mill 6 cards"... Which can be EXTREMELY effective!
5/5!

The flavor here is that he's a skeleton made out of the bones/bits of your other creatures; the regenerate is you blowing chunks off of him.

I think.

I used to think this was a mediocre card, but just because I had recently taken several losses at a magic tournament from mill decks and was struggling with an irrational fear of a large graveyard, and thus of dredge. THEN I saw how Dredge could interact with his other abilities.
I no longer have a fear of being milled out when I have this card.

Can become a big scary creature in no time. If he had trample he would be insane.

@TheWrathofShane

This guy isn't good because of the two paragraphs up top, the real way this card is bonkers is Dredge 6.

It really is a beast. The only way I was ever able to get away from it in casual dredge decks is flashing Kulrath Knight just so it couldn't attack or block...but Kulrath is 5 cmc. If they are playing a true dredge deck, turn 1 or 2 is the only banking turn you have to run from. Good luck. HAHA
