So I chuckled at first when some people considered putting this into an artifact slot and not a black slot. Obviously, the activated ability is required to make this card truly shine in the decks that want it. But I am now realizing that being a colorless Chainwalker is already pretty impressive, and putting this in 360 black may actually harm the color. It'll be fought over as a decent pick for an aggressive red deck, and any more cuts in black is like a dagger in my side, as it could weaken other strategies. Is it crazy to put it in artifacts as a aggressive option?
The BB cost on Relentless Dead scares me, but yeah he really looks and plays well, so if a miracle happens and a 2-drop slot opens up, he'll definitely get in. But I /think/ I agree with Scrapheap Scrounger over Relentless Dead.
But three of those ARE black aggro 2/1's with downside. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Stax and black aggro go great together.
Yes! I just meant the otherplayablepikers can often fail to make enough use of their slot (although Ghoul is a zombie for Gravecrawler). I'm currently trying to find the right split between these aggro creatures and stax-y cards, and I might be a teensy bit light on 1-drops still. Black cuts are the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
Quick plug for stax: If anyone else is sick of regular black aggro 2/1's with downsides wheeling all over the place, try cutting them out for a stax package. We now have Blood Spook, Blood Man, Cree P. Crawlie, Snake Lady AND THIS GUY NOW for recurable bodies to feed a Smokestack. Draft it well and it's so sick.

Wizards, at this point, you are the only company that makes me excited to get rid of my disposable income.
