@Gwoemul - I think you misunderstood what ClockwordSwordfish was saying. His point is you can Swampcycle it and then play Zombify type effects on it. The Swampcycling gets a big creature into your graveyard quickly, and some black decks can play things more easily from graveyard than hand.
Still not saying the card is great but I do have a certain affection for it.

This was the second card I ever got, and boy is it great! A 5/3 is nothing special, but a 5/anything with regeneration hits hard and is tricky to deal with. This makes it a good creature once you play it, but it's a bit pricey. The swampcycling, thus, is what really makes this card. You can get a swamp now, and reanimate it later. If you return it to your hand later instead of straight to the battlefield, you can swampcycle it again! Great in many ways. Almost forgot; great art too.

@Sironos:
How can they hold off Progenitus? He has protection from EVERYTHING, meaning he can't be damaged, targeted, or blocked by anything.

A 5/3 with regenerate for B, me and my friend bought the garruck vs. Leliana and this guy makes me glad I did. You can charge the enemy with him as crazily as you like without worrying about him dying, and if you got 2 of these on the field, they can fend of a progenitus without dying, and even if they die, you can still bring it back with tons of spells since you're playing black. Need 2 more of these for my deck, 5 stars!

I think I'll just add another swamp to my black deck thank you.

ClockworkSwordfish has it a bit wrong--reanimation does not allow something to return from the grave, but merely prevents a creature from being destroyed. That being said, this thing is still great. Late game, he's a formidable monster; early on, he's a swamp if you're short on mana. Options...

I'd rather play Cudgel Troll if I had a choice of colors.

This guy seriously kicks some ass!
-Need mana? Cycle it!
-Need regenerative Zombie? There you go!
-Need badass name? Well, it has!
Powerful in right deck. 4.5 / 5.
