A good aggro card by itself, even better in an accordant tribal deck, and also a decent Johnny choice - bouncing this card is great fun. Cards like Drake Familiar, Kor Skyfisher or Umbilicus all do a good job with it.

Kind of better than Carnophage. A lot better WITH Carnophage.

This is a great spell, how often are you not going to have a zombie in play if you're playing a zombie deck?

Good, but no 5/5.
It has occurred to me more than once to be stuck with no creature, especially against white or red decks, and have Sarcomancy deal me like 3-4 damage at the wrong moment. Comined with carnophage (essential in a vintage zombie deck) and a few cards to regain life, you start a ticker against yourself. Save space for good zombies with effects, keep good ol' Carnophage for your one-drop zombie, and remplace sarcomancy with Cemetary Reaper to spawn zombies. These spawns cost 1B, but are automatically 3/3. I must admit that having 2 dark rituals, 2 carophage and 2 sarcomancy in your starting hand is intimidating material, but heh, what are the odds?

Misread the card, so now I'm less of a fan.
Could be useful.

You're paying one black mana for a 2/2 with a good creature type that will rarely (if ever) deal damage to you. How is this not rated 5/5?

This also has the bonus of not being affected by anything that hoses creature spells being played, e.g. Isolation Cell.

Personally, I think I'd rather use the new Diregraf Ghoul. Pretty much the same thing (unless you need to block on their turn) and doesn't have the drawback that this card does.
