A worthy 4-drop once the extra draws begin trinkling in. Great for mono black control, as you can 'ask' her departure when life totals thin. Zombie-tribal be cautious, you may find yourself with more brain-eaters than you can play. =)

This card can be a key player in a zombie deck. While you do have to be careful not to kill your self by using it at the wrong time, the real beauty of this card is that it excelerates your game imensly, and if you are playing heavy aggro zombies the 3/3 body coupled with your other forces (often lords to boost it by at least +1/+1) you may very well kill your opponents before they can shut down your Graveborn Muse.
If all goes well you never even need an answer for all the life you are loosing, usaly you will have made your final stand before that becomes relivant. But if you are worried about the life you will lose, keep a fleshbag or carrion feeder in hand (or in the worst case a nameless inversion).
Basicly this card will give you tons of card advantage. Card advantage your opponents can not ignore.
In a mono-black zombie deck this card screams suicide black, and let me tell you; Few cards do justice to suicide... (see all)

Wowza... this is where it's at. Highly underappreciated, narrow in scope - but devastating if used correctly. If you are smart enough to use Yawgwin, you are smart enough to use this card - otherwise you might wanna just play grave defiler in the kiddie's corner. Not surprisingly, you will rarely see decks that support this card since giving life for cards is scurry to newer players.
Use it well and have a back up plan. Cards like this temporarily make me forget about how generally underpowered zombies are compared to the other tribes. The Skull on a Zombie Stick. Moar braineaters this good pl0x.

Ironically seems most practical in a non-zombie deck. It's essentially phyrexian arena with a 3/3 body for 1 more.

By herself, she's a Phyrexian Arena on legs, which is always welcome. With an army of zombies, she becomes a card-advantage monster. Just be careful not to deck yourself (or kill yourself!) with swarms of zombie tokens.
She's a zombie and a spirit, which means she can fit in both zombie and spiritcraft decks.

This hottie is for Necropotence what street luge is to inline skating: lots more speed, lots less control. Your life total will drop like a stone in an all-zombie deck, though a timely Carrion Feeder can save your bacon. Better yet, splash white for Words of Worship for the option of gaining 20 or so life a turn, and see why this chick rocks.

Phyrexian Arena in a 3/3 creature body for 1 more mana? Plus it's more flexible the more zombies you play. Even if you only played 4 of these as the only zombies in your deck this is fantastic. Great sleeper card 4.5/5
