"Hey. I've just created this amazing card"
"is it using the Undying mechanic?"
"You bet you a$$ it does! And not only that, but it is a 3/2 flyer!"
"Amazing! What a perfect card! What's its CMC?"
"it's... Uhh..."
"4?"
"Uhh..."
"...5?"
"... 6"
"6... huh. Well, at... huh, that's quite high. I guess if we made it 4, it wouldn't be that fair..."
"Yeah. If we made a creature with an equal CMC-to-P/T with undying, that would be quite broken!"
"Thank god there isn't something like that!"

Too expensive, although in draft i guess he could be used. The creature isn't exactly bad, it is just too expensive with too high a mana cost.

He's flying, and undying.

Very valuable in limited formats, but absolute garbage anywhere else.

He wields the full power of flight unfettered by the social norms of a shirt.
Seriously though, how is he flying? I'm not saying Vampires should grow wings and pretend to be Black Angels or something-- but he doesn't even have a CAPE! ALL FLYING VAMPIRES SHOULD HAVE CAPES!!!!
It's the Alan Rickman Rule. (I know Severus wasn’t really a vampire. Shut up, capes are awesome.)
Dear Wizards, you make Magic, not Twilight. Please remember this.

Had it cost 3 less to cast it might have been useful in vampire tribals or monoblack standard, but this just doesn't work at all.

Paying six mana for a vampire is asinine. If I'm going to do so, I expect a similar effect on the game to something like Nirkana Revenant or Vein Drinker. Frankly, the very top of a vampire deck mana curve should be four, if you're going to accommodate Bloodline Keeper, though it should probably be more like three.
Oh well. They can't all be good cards.

For constructed I can either drop this or Grave Titan...
I dont care about limited, because thats just bad arguments to justify trashpile cards...

Shouldn't be rated so low, if only because Nearheath Stalker should have gotten the honor of being the lowest rated undying creature.
