Gravecrawler anyone? I just super happy that there is going to be a card to replace Rakdos Cackler post-rotation in my Mono Black Aggro deck because screw multicolor. >:3 (Though I may change my mind about that)

The flavor text on the Zombie Ape is one of the best I have read! I shivered after reading it for the first time! Amazing! Seeing such great cards gives me hopes that Khans limited will be at least equal to triple INN.

Gravecrawler accompanied by other zombies was cheaper to cast out of the grave and you didnt have to attack. So I see this bloodsoaked guy as so so. Granted he is better than cackler but mono black has a ton of good 1s and 2s.

I am not sure if this is the correct flavor text for the black one drop but here is what I found.

"Death is one of the enemies Mardu will soon conquer."

Are you saying Khans will top Innistrad limited? I mean its got a cooler land base but thats it so far.

"Zombie Ape" that is a neat creature type. I want more Zombie X creatures...I want Zombie Snakes now...with deathtouch and recursion...I am getting side tracked but come one.

The bloodsoaked warrior is going to see play especially with the butcher. And the baboons are definitely a grab in limited as you can reduce the cost with delve and 4/4 trample does work

I love how Blood Soaked Warrior can bring himself back...

T1: Swamp "Blood Soaked Warrior"
T2: Attack, Trade, Swamp , "Blood Soaked Warrior" from your grave, because you attacked this turn.

It kind of ensures that they don't bother blocking on T2... in which case, you just cast something else.

I like the pet... not likely to see constructed play, but useable in Limited. (Maybe sideboard against burn in Standard)

There haven't been many Morph creatures where it's cheaper to turn it face up than to cast it... and with a 1/4 body, it's nice to be able to avoid some of your opponents burn, while also providing a bit of life.

Ugh, guess I need to make black aggro again. I wanted to go with red this time around because I <3 Rabbles, but the support for black is just too good.

VampireArmy: Bloodsoaked Warrior. Was someone asking for a hooman sacrifice monkey along the lines of Gravecrawler? Because you sorta got one. :3

Bloodsoaked Warrior + Butcher of the Horde ...

Sac Warrior for Vigilance...
Attack with Butcher...
pay to get Warrior back...
sac Warrior for Lifelink...
pay to get warrior back.
- Can now be sac'd during opponents attack for Lifelink again.

Seems like good synergy for mid to late game to me.

I'm liking the idea of Bloodsoaked Warrior for my Standard Dredge deck. Being able to recur this little guy by simply attacking with a creature I don't care about, like Satyr Wayfinder , is great.
