Possibly one of the funniest combats would be this against a Kitchen Finks.
Player 1: "I'll play a Geralf's Messenger. You lose 2 life. Go."
Player 2: "I'll play a Kitchen Finks. I gain 2 life. Go."
Player 1: "I'll attack with Geralf's Messenger."
Player 2: "I'll block with Kitchen Finks. My 3/2 trades with your 3/2."
Player 1: "You lose 2 life. Go."
Player 2: "I gain 2 life. I pass."
Player 1: "I'll attack with Geralf's Messenger."
Player 2: "I'll block with Kitchen Finks."
Player 1: "YES!!! It's finally DEAD!"
Player 2: "During combat, I'll play Hunger of the Howlpack."
Player 1: "NOOOOOOOOO"

If this doesn't make Mono-Black, nothing will. I highly doubt Mono Black will get anything like this and Phyrexian Obliterator in Standard at the same time again.

This card works really well outside of zombie decks too, a sacrifice/recurring utility.

This is incredible. You pay B to damage your opponent for 4 life then BB for a 3/2 undying. Gotta love it!! 5/5

I love that this has Undying (kewl mechanic) AND his chest looks like someone stuck a Duracell in 'em... "Nothing outlasts 
the Coppertop!"
So, new munchable dead guy... who should I start feeding you to with Grave Pact out?... Zombie entourage in my GB Saproling deck with Ghave, Guru of Spores ? Naw, how about an unthreatening Mortician Beetle with this as as a "Power Supply" for Phyrexian Tower / Ashnod's Altar , massive tokens a la Innistrad, and then the 'piece de resistance'... Thraximundar. Forget the Bunny... Coppertop Engine ftw!
Oh, and TY WIZARDS for bringing back my favorite tribe in a BIG way the past few months! Viva la Z-Day!!

I think this is the best card in the set. Seems too easy to sac it, remove a counter with Hex Parasite, and repeat. It's just that Wizards still refuses to print good sac engines.

This card is one of my favorite creatures in the game now. I've won games against tough opponents by no other reason but the sheer loss of life this card hits them with, even if they have blockers and kill spells, this guy just laughs when he dies, often delivering the final push to win it.
Even better is his brokeness with other cards. Want him to block? Amulet of Vigor. Need a friend? Gravecrawler. Want more of em? Any copy card can enter the battlefield as a copy of anything else when it undies. With a +1/+1 counter. He makes Phantasmal Image insane.
Great art, but when I pulled him at the prerelease, I though the front chest thing was a Jiggy from Banjo-Kazooie.
Solid 5/5. A must have for any mono black deck
