This is totally sick, though it does need two zombies already in play on your side to get kicking.
Remember Breeding Pit? Same CMC, but you had to pay 
upkeep to keep it alive and just got 0/1 creatures of a tribe which did not get a lot of support anyway.
Awakening Zone was already much better, costing only 3 CMC, no upkeep, and giving you the ever useful Eldrazi Spawn.
But this... Wow. Just Wow.
Also, sick in combo with Essence of the Wild - spit out loads of 6/6 avatars for nothing!
EDIT: @ICEFANG13: Yeah, I just realized that myself. :( Soooo, add Conspiracy, make Essence a Zombie, and it works. ;)

@IvoRosa 21 You forget about Cemetery Reaper, which is in Standard now. Sure, your zombies won't have deathtouch, but who cares? Also, Cemetery Reaper gives you more zombies!
I desperately want at least one copy of this card, if not four. Kind of funny that Zombie Infestation, Jace, Memory Adept, and Mind Unbound were printed in M12, and Army of the Damned is in the same set. If I play sealed and happen to get this and Army of the Damned, I will play zombies. And I will win.
Art: 5/5
Ability: 5/5
Flavor: 5/5
If I could give this 6 stars, I would. Alas, I have to stick to 5.

If I ever work for WotC I probably want this as the art in the background of my pic.

Breeding Pit is also the first card I thought of when I saw this.
Great card, but I dislike it, any deck that even kinda runs zombies will get a great benefit from this, a free creature every turn is just great, it would be better (or worse I guess) and more flavorful if it removed creatures in graveyards when it activated.
Still a great card, nucking futs.
5/5
Oh yeah this card is horrible with Essence of the Wild they cards that come into play are not Zombies and don't activate this card.
EDIT its all cool brotha we all make mistakes

this card has amazing art, but it is not that good. i'm not sure why everyone thinks this is so good. it is so incredibly slow, and if you get wrathed, you start from square one. you need it to stay on board until your upkeep and you also need to keep 2 zombies on the field to net even 1. play this and you will see it is too slow to be truly effective. it might seem good if the opponent isn't interacting with you at all, but if that's the case you should probably just play solitaire.

Sometimes when I'm winning, I feel I could be WINNING MORE.
Don't get me wrong, this card is cool as heck, just don't expect it to win you any games that you haven't already won. By the time you have 4 zombies out and can actually start 'going off' with this card, well, wouldn't you have probably beaten them to death with the 4 zombies?
Super cool card, possibly useful in a slow, attrition-based matchup. Other than that, vastly overrated.
Now, to wait for the sad-pandas to rate me 0.5/5 because their pet card had bad words said about it.

I'm a fan of doing three colors in a deck because, quite frankly, I've nearly perfected it.
This card works well in a black, green, and bue deck for these reasons:
First, low-cost zombies, such as the Walking corpse and Diregraf Ghoul, help with immediate spawning. And Moan of the Unhallowed lends a hand when starting your game with Endless Ranks of the Undead out.
Second, Parallel Lives or Doubling Season doubles the output this card produces. One eldless with two parallel produces four times the output of this card ( ((1x2)2)=4 ). One endless with three parallel produces eight times the output. One Endless with four parallel produces sixteen times the output. Two endless with four parallel produces 32 times more. Three endless with four parallel produces 48 times more. And finally four endless with four parallel produces 64 times the zombies you'll get. You do the math.
Third, if your concerned about having the land to do this, just add Rampant Growth or other means to search y... (see all)
