I've been wondering recently why
or
doesn't have a zombie card..
I think in some respects a zombie card should operate similarly to scarabs; after all a zombie horde's strength is in numbers, yeah? Maybe +1/+0 to all zombies for every zombie you control? I think the health maybe shouldn't be as high as you suggest, simply because zombies are slow and weak.
I like the idea of the skill not being an instant kill, like I said, zombies are weak. One damage to the target creature for the skill is spot on, and if you have a few zombies under your control then it won't be an issue, just gang up on one enemy creature at a time. 8)
I think it would cause some interesting issues though.. For example, say you're running monodeath, and you have a graveyard. You have 2 zombies out and you use them to kill a low hp enemy creature. Now you have 3 zombies aand...a skeleton. But wouldn't the skeleton from the graveyard also be the corpse of the creature you just killed?
Also, you'd be able to target your own skeletons and turn them into zombies. Which would be nonsensically goofy.
