Well, then a welcome answer to Scrapheap Scrounger, and delerium based Mechanics. This plus the new kitties spoiled today give us some graveyard hosers. I'm not sure it's contructed playable, but we are rather short on answers to graveyard synergies, this just might make it into SB's.

Good card.
Cycling makes it playable, likely sideboard if any graveyard strat can ever pop again.
Seems like not a great way to exile scrapheap especially since they can return it in response.
wow... the new card cost one mana less, the cycling is one mana less and the new card is a common, too... wow Rapid Decay looked like a Motel-T Ford and Scarab Feast is a Ford Mustang in a Cracker Jack Box.
Strictly better than Fade from Memory, and almost always better than Rapid Decay outside of Fluctuator.dec. May actually be maindeckable in limited with Aftermath and Embalm. A welcome card that will be in sideboards all 'round the format for as long as Scrounger is legal. Selective exiling is also good at thwarting delirium.

I wonder if that means that the trials aren't to determine who is worth embalming.
Unrelated, but the trials are probably made by Bolas to farm Planeswalkers. Those who have Planeswalker sparks will have it ignited by the suffering throughout the Trials and by Hazoret trying to kill them, and those who don't perish as they're of no use for Bolas. They're that predictable.
Flavor text points to in-world conflict among the gods it seems?

The implication I've always gotten is that the Worthy are a different kind of undead, and the anointed mummies are all the rejects who died in the trials/outside of them. That's why they're typically put to manual labor, and thus looked on as a "failure" from the black god: Because they weren't good enough to become Worthy.

I figure that everyone gets embalmed. But only special people get elaboate masks over their face. The flavor text could be read to emphasize that a blank face covered in only linen is mediocre.
This is definitely delirium hate, as well as anti-amalgam and -scrounger. I doubt they will unban new Emrakul, though. Still, Watchers of the Dead followed by this card completely exiles the graveyard (albeit inefficiently, but again we have to work with the tools given to us).
This thread is full of idiots... Lightning Bolt is NOT being reprinted.
Many times has a writer in Wizards said so, because of the plain and simple fact that it's too powerful for what it costs. x/3 creatures shouldn't be able to die at instant speed for one mana without a signifigant drawback. (like PTE giving you a land)
I absolutely guarantee that LB will not be printed in M10, and you can quote me on that.

As graveyard hate: yes. But these scarabs can't beat down your opponent.

Sorry to say it, but this is why we can't have nice things.
Unrelated, but the trials are probably made by Bolas to farm Planeswalkers. Those who have Planeswalker sparks will have it ignited by the suffering throughout the Trials and by Hazoret trying to kill them, and those who don't perish as they're of no use for Bolas. They're that predictable.
Back on topic, this looks great for Pauper.

It may yet not get played in SB, so RBU zombies might still be viable, but it sure won't ever raise to tier-1 now.
It feels weird that the color that share zombies in Amonkhet is also the color that hoses them.
