I know Baron Samedi wasn't released until a few sets later, but this is just a crappy preview of him. A 50% raise in cost is not worth two extra skulls and Toughness +2 instead of Resilient. I'm a little surprised such an uninspired Ancient One would be made so late in the game's existence. The fact that it's neutral just means that this character doesn't belong anywhere.
Based on the artwork and the subtitle of this card, I would have preferred an ability like "Disrupt: When an opponent's character is wounded at a story Zstylzhemgni is committed to, put a character of cost 3 or less from your hand into play committed to that story." I like the concept that it's dangerous to block Zstylzhemgni. I just would've liked the effect to be original, something that played off the swarm idea more. The ability I'm suggesting would reward you for building your domains vertically by netting you more characters as if you had built horizontally. That is, unless the opponent lets you go unopposed, is able to somehow tie/beat you at combat, or blocks you with an Invulnerable character.
