If the base card was like, an enchantment, then sure, but disregarding the fact that you're getting a creature for your initial mana investment is disingenuous.

The big question is if this 5 drop is better than Liliana's Mastery; and if so, is it worth splashing blue for it in mono-black zombies.

80s James Hetfield posted:May throw this into XMage to try tonight. I really liked Conley Woods Mono Bluedrazi from a few days ago. Todd Stevens 5-0'd with it, playing against 3 Mardu Vehicles, 1 GB Energy, and I have no clue what the other match was. After the league, he suggested making a Mountain (it should have been a Westvale Abbey, but I misread the screen) a Sea Gate Wreckage for Control, and maybe swap out the Dragonmaster Outcasts (I can't believe this junk Mythic from the first Zendikar is actually seeing play) and Mirrorwing Dragon for some other cards. Hasty Hanweir Garrisons are really good, btw. You generally have enough removal to clear the way, and he makes clocks tick really fast.

the god's activated ability is basically "give every creature in every graveyard eternalize, but only for you" you shouldn't really think of it in terms of generating arbitrary 4/4 zombie tokens

No. Liliana's Mastery has immediate impact whereas you need at least a turn to get some real value out of this guy. But after rotation this could slot into zombies if there's enough stuff in HoD and Ixalan to make up for all the cards zombies will lose from the sets rotating out. Very big if though.

Locust God doesn't quite grant Eternalize; the tokens keep their mana values. Might get ambitious and try Esper Zombies. I've just notice Priest of the Blood Rite is standard-legal thanks to the PW decks, he plays nice with Locust God. Angel of Invention might be good too.

Interesting risk/reward on this one in particular I think. Possibly an amazing T2, one worth giving up most of T3. Can also get punished for it badly.

But then again we have no idea what the format is going to look like. If it's very slow, they could all be good. I don't think the Scarab God is a "win more card". It's good at parity. It's stats probably aren't as good as other pushed 5 drops, but it gives you the option to make 4/4s for 4 mana, which is quite powerful. It's a decent play if you are behind versus aggro, as you can trade zombies for their threats. It won't pull you back from imminent death, but it put's you in a position of inevitability.

If there is a UBx control deck in standard, I think this guy is a decent finisher. As far as I can tell, there isn't a lot in the format that can kill him outright, and he grinds you out of the game with a bunch of 4/4s. I don't know if the support for that type of control deck exists because I don't play the format, but if a theoretical deck that is filled with spot removal, ways to refill your hand, and this guy I think would do well.

To your hand. 3 mana =1 CMC 1 dude to hand 4 Mana= 2 CMC 2 dudes to hand 5 Mana = 3 CMC 3 dudes to hand 6 mana = 4 CMC 4 dudes to hand I can't imagine this card being cast for more than 5 very often (outside of EDH). I don't know if it is strong enough for standard, but it seems like it could be good in some sort of grindy midrange green deck, but I would be very surprised if it has a place in Modern when CoCo and Chord both exist. The design is cool though.
