@Aaron_Forsythe: I am a casual player, and I actually think that, within that setting, Scathe Zombies is the quint-essential zombie card. It has been with M:TG since its very start, and in addition to that, it has its wonderful flavour text. That, and the fact that it is a simple and unassuming vanilla, turns into, dare I say, the most iconic zombie card ever. I would gladly put it into each and every zombie deck I were to make.

Warpath Ghoul had to compete with Hypnotic Spectre in m10. Draw your own conclusions.

@ Nyktos:
Well, the toughness 3 of Trained Armodon really matters. Since if you look at the M12 statistics, 44 cards have a power of 2, whereas only 13 have a power of 3. That really makes the Armodon quite a powerful card. The second green mana however was removed for multicolor-limited reasons, leaving enough room to also make the black version a bit more powerful.
@ Aaron:
Although I never really liked the power curve of magic (since power 1 means 20 hits and power 2 means half that much), I never felt happy with 2/2 for 3. In a usual game, the cmc3 slot is what I call the "pants down" slot, where you usually recognize how the game is gonna be. There are cards like Tempered Steel makes it obvious that no-fattie will see play. Seismic Assault proves that it's some sort of fast combo kill, whereas an Pyrexian Arena symbolizes an attrition deck.
But also non-enchantment cards fulfill thi... (see all)

Vile Rebirth. Seriously, everyone should read Rime of The Ancient Mariner, it's an epic poem of a seaman and an albatross.

BROKEN with Umezawa's Jitte. This makes this card similar to (insert creature here).

Was actually used when a filler zom-bag was required. Almost like Merfolk of the Pearl Trident or Mons's Goblin Raiders.

The Scathe zombies were known for their love of eating brains and their surprisingly good cultural arts scene. Their local theater production of "Hello Dolly" drew rave reviews from the Scathe Daily News.
