Why do Skeletons always get the short end of the stick while Zombies get really cool cards? Is it too much to ask for a decent Skeleton Warrior?

What a disappointing body, this guy costs like kamahl but doesn't nearly do kamahls job... I think WotC forgot to give this guy unleash, there's room for it right next to first strike and everything.
This guy is either missing an ability or costs too damn much, but it is definitely wasting an uncommon slot. 1/5

Mabye should have cost 1 less with a better body and/or trample. Seeing a creature with 1 toughness at 6 cmc is just plain depressing.

I'm impressed by WotC's guts.
(Because they sure needed a lot of them to give a hardcore badass like him such an insultingly steep mana cost.)

this is one of those cards that would have been absolutely BONKERS if you would have been able to get it out easily a few turns earlier

I mean, regenerate for 1 is really cool... but it's like Archweaver in the way that First Strike is a primarily aggressive ability while regeneration is not: The two abilities don't work.
And the whole "discard a card randomly" is not really worth the cost at all.
In all truth, if this was a 5/1, it would've been highly considered in Limited. If it was a 4/1, it might make pack turn 5-8. Now, I think it's going to be one of those last-pick cards.

I honestly think this card isn't trash. Can be regenarated, so it can defend itself from sort of removal. With the removal of incinerate and regenration is better now/ He does cost a lot, but i feel like most people are missing the point. He's rakdos/ You play Rakdos, Lord of Riots. Attack with him next turn, and then play this guy for 2. You can argue that it'd be better to play something like Utvara Hellkite, but again this can regenerate itself.

@Feralsymphony So a 4 cost 4/2 first striking regenerater with a spectre ability seems fair? Not at all lol.
If he cost 1 less, he'd be insane. If you're finding yourself lacking in bombs, he's OK in a more controlling deck. It's nearly impossible to destroy him and he rips the little dudes to shreds. With enough Auger Sprees and Ultimate Prices, he's ok.
When you splash green into the deck and scavenge some dudes onto him he takes off FAST. He might actually be the premiere Scavenge target.
This card seems a slight underrated. Regenerate for 1 is no joke. If you're against a player who has nothing in the air, this card can straight up win a game with just his blocking ability.

Cult Rakdos: Because Magic needed more New Orleans and more Hades in the same set.
