Great card... when you have the mana. Or when you can actually fit into your blue/red/black zombie deck. Or when you're playing an opponent thats actually playing a creature based deck. I run it in my deck for the lifelink and the only white mana producers I have are 4 rupture spires and 2 esper obelisks. Now if it didnt cost white mana, this card would be an absolute wonder. I feel it should have cost 3 and 3 white or black mana.

The necromancer in the art looks kinda like Liliana Vess!
This card works well with the zombie/clerics back in Onslaught.

I heard they like the mini overrun with a mill deck.

Srsly guys, who cares if its not RBU, most zombies are just black. Plus, the Esper Zombie Deck sounds pretty cool, but its better just going manly black splashing white for obvious reasons outside of standard.

This card is a BOMB. Whenever I drop it on the table, the opponent looks a little queezy. The White mana cost is not really a big deal guys, it is only one... throw a simple color fixer in your deck like Rupture Spire or something comprable and you are off to the races.
5/5

This with the newest Sanguine Bond is just brutal.

Since there isn't nearly enough white zombies I simply splash white in a b/u mill deck running Lich Lord of Unx, Traumatize, and Nemesis of Reason. It's an admittedly slow deck and opponents tend to play rather aggressively to bring your life down, but Necromancer's Covenant's lifelink and instant army of zombies means you'll recover all life quickly. Combine with Boneknitter and Vengeful Dead for laughs.

I'm surprised that the comment with the highest rating says there are no white zombies except for Tidehollow Sculler, because there's alsoPutrid Warrior and other black zombies with white activated abilities.. Also, you don't really need milling, because dredging should do the job, too! :) Even if you just remove a "standard" graveyard with three / four creature cards from the game, you receive something very nice for your six mana..
For more graveyard manipulation, use green cards like Life From The Loam, the many green zombies like Putrid Leech, and that green zombie card many people don't know: Strength Of Night! :) Yeah, Putrid Leech really can make use of lifelink..

I splashed white in my mono-black Zombie/Reanimator simply for this, Tidehollow Sculler, Divinity of Pride, and Stillmoon Cavalier.
My win percentage has improved DRASTICALLY. 5/5
