I think you want both a) reusable bodies and b) sacrifice outlets before you consider this guy. As just a random dork in an aggro or midrange deck, he probably won't do anything of note. But if you set him up alongside the likes of Gravecrawler, Bloodghast, or Reassembling Skeleton, and then pair that with the likes of Blasting Station or Greater Gargadon, then he starts to sizzle. For us, we found the key to making him relevant was being able to trigger the life drain at will.
So that makes him more of an archetype card rather than a two-drop beater. Though, even left to his own devices, he's a pretty good anti-Wrath measure with any half decent board presence.
