Metathran Zombie is an unblockable 2/2 for two mana — that's the whole pitch, and it's a narrow one. You run it in decks that specifically need bodies to connect with the opponent, not decks that want a zombie for its own sake.

Metathran Zombie sees essentially no competitive play in Legacy or Vintage, where a two-mana 2/2 with no enters-the-battlefield effect doesn't clear the bar regardless of evasion. In Pauper, unblockable creatures can occasionally find a home in tempo or aura-based aggro shells, but Metathran Zombie lacks the stats or synergy text to compete with better options at common. Commander is where it has the narrowest viable niche — specifically in decks that want guaranteed damage vectors, like Blighted Agent-style infect builds or commanders that trigger on combat damage to a player — but even there it's rarely the right card.
