This might just see play in Standard, in the future, two 3/3s is good enough but that it also pumps other zombies and embalm tokens certainly makes it feel like playable at the least. Of course EDH goodness as well for various zombie decks. Now I want to make a monoblack, B/W, U/B, and Esper zombie EDH decks.
With Kaladesh having the W/B fastland that I can't remember the name of and with embalm being WU, I feel like an Esper zombies deck could land in standard if they turn out to be good enough. That aside, this might be a bit slow for other (non-limited) formats despite its solid effect.
This is particularly exciting. With enough zombie token generation in standard, this could be the nudge it needed to go over the top, ignoring copycat of course.
Zombie Anthem is a nice card - I might consider it for Grimgrin, an anthem is a lot more durable than the typical lords (even with reanimation, it's still nice to have something just naturally more resistant).
So the black innistrad zombies that didn't suck were cryptbreaker (synergies with graveyard), relentless dead(synergy with non-token creatures), and diregraf colossus(synergy with creature spells)
Now the new Liliana plays ok with this but she like to reanimate actual creatures and is competing at the 5 drop slot.
Huge miss for even tier 2 standard zombies. From Under the floorboards and dark salvation are probably better.

Cryptbreaker + Diregraf Colossus is a deck almost on its own. We just needed some solid 4cmc top end good zombies. Paying mana and emptying your hand to bring them back tapped? Trying hard to make the others look bad.

But now you are talking a really different deck that likes discard, reanimation, etc. This enchantment is really nothing I want to be putting in that deck. Maybe if it has "whenever you discard a card make a 2/2 zombie token" then it could go with the standard dredge deck.
Hasn't been mentioned yet, but it looks like "Liliana's Mastery" not Expertise, which never really made any sense a block after a completely different cycle all called Someone's Expertise.

Prized Amalgam, Advanced Stitchwing, and Haunted Dead all see more competitive play than any of those casual favorites.

Selling some cards I don't want.
Generally less than tcg mid.

Yeah, I could have and should have made a better title.
I wasn't sure about about the English name of the card.
