Horrible... strictly inferior to cards that don't see play. Pay 1 more mana and get Grave Titan, but it's a mythic rare, so it is okay for this to be terrible, or so I'm told.

I have no idea why Black always has to get such lousy large creatures at common level. Maybe it is part of the "theme" of Black, but it is becoming silly. At least the flavor text accurately describes the level of thought that goes into producing this type of booster filler.

Let's propose neat abilities for the vanilla creatures that get printed in each new core set. Who knows, a bored Wizards developer may happen upon one...

---

A creature riding Zombie Goliath loses all abilities and cannot attack or block if its power or toughness exceeds Zombie Goliath's toughness. If a creature riding Zombie Goliath would die, instead sacrifice Zombie Goliath.

Mount 1BlackBlack (1BlackBlack: Attach Zombie Goliath to a creature you control. While attached to a creature, Zombie Goliath cannot attack or block, and its activated abilities can't be activated. Mount only as a sorcery.)

@ Salient

That ability doesn't make sense flavorfully or is desirable at all.

1 you are riding on a giant zombie? WHAT? In the flavor text, it says there is room to ride inside of it, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to ride inside of it who are still alive. How can they attack if they are inside of it, or on top of a giant?

2 you are spending 8 mana to make a shield for another creature, that is way too much. You can't attack with this card, making its only purpose unavailable to it, and you are protecting a smaller creature to be able to attack with it? Either you are killing your own creature, or making a totem armor for 8 mana.

If you were to consider flavor, then I would suggest making Zombie into a "devouror" (a creature of 3rd DND) which continues its unholy life by consuming life inside of it.

Here is a picture, if you wanna learn more, look it up.

I hate Wizards doing this. You are part of global warming. Why do you keep printing a waste that you know people will just throw it away in the trash like this? It is very disappointing when I know that this card will be reprinted for M2013. It is very dumb.

@HairlessThoctar Yes but in limited this thing can trade with Bonebreaker and Stampeding. Late late pick to get a mid sized creature. 1/5 tho

@Salient

Rules says that you can't attach anything but Auras or Equipments and Fortifications to permanents. Interesting idea though.

Flavour text should end "... and dinner".
