Hero's Downfall with a creature included is very good. Will definitly see tons of standard play

Not sure I like the "lose 2 life" bit on swift end, but the coming on a body likely makes up for it. Will be getting 4, hopefully of the alt art

All-round star. There are no bad bits, from being an instant down to the creature types.

A body with lifelink. This card is very very good

Yes, it is very good. Personally, I don't like losing 2 life to do something that already has been done without life loss (Hero's Downfall), but the body it is attached to will likely make up for it (if it sticks). Not questioning how good it is, just expressing personal opinions on one aspect

My zombie EDH appreciates a kill spell that counts as a zombie.

As does my forthcoming knight deck.

Well this card is pretty much good at everything. Good creature with two relevant tribes. And if you printed a card with just the Swift End half, there's probably a lot of formats where people would play just that by itself. Really exciting card, lots of people will want this for lots of different decks. Has the casual and competitive appeal. Glad it's rare and not mythic, there will be a lot of demand for this.

Is the converted mana cost of this card 3? Would it hit you for 3 or 6 off of a Bob flip? Also, if you cascade into this card can you cast either the instant or the creature?

You know, I'm pretty sure the tuck effect on death is meant to be a balance feature. There are a lot of cards that can Raise Dead a Zombie.

Oh yeah, that's definitely meant to avoid graveyard shenanigans. On the other hand, I can absolutely imagine some combo deck (or glacially slow control deck!) using it as a win-con where it keeps sacrificing it and putting it back in the library while the opponent decks.
