Dregscape Zombie is a 2/2 for two mana that comes back from the graveyard for free — the Unearth cost is zero, it just exiles itself afterward. That's a free recursive body in any deck that wants to sacrifice, reanimate, or count creatures in the graveyard, and the only real cost is that it never comes back a second time.

Commander is where Dregscape Zombie earns its slot — sacrifice-focused decks with black want cheap, recurring bodies, and a zero-mana Unearth means it reanimates itself at instant speed on the turn you need it, not the turn you can afford it. In Pauper it sees fringe play in zombie-tribe and sacrifice shells where the free recursion is genuinely threatening on a budget-legal card. Legacy and Vintage have the card pool to run it but rarely need a 2/2 at this power level — it shows up only in highly specialized graveyard builds. Modern has enough competing options that Dregscape Zombie sits well below the bar.

Price Context
Current price
$0.16 bulk tier
At $0.16, Dregscape Zombie is pure bulk — you're not paying for scarcity, you're paying for cardboard. It holds that floor price indefinitely; there's no spike scenario for a common with this power level, so buy however many you need without a second thought.
