Evaluation
Skeleton almost suffers from 9-man syndrome, but he has a powerful awakening, plus he pairs with Sandro which is one of the best heroes in the game. Outside of a Sandro based team though, Skeleton will be lacking, so if you are not going to go to the Necro (expensive) route, you may want to pass on Skeleton.
