The name of zombie is extremely lame, need to say. It feels like someone explains the joke for dumb people. I have a feeling that in any old unset it would been have more quirks, in card name, art, templating, P/T box, something else maybe. I miss this stuff a lot.
Other than that, great stuff though it kinda confirms there will be no such mechanics in regular sets.
As MaRo said, if a creature with last strike receives double strike, it will have triple strike. I am not quite sure how it works since first strike replaces regular strike and can't grant a creature double strike.
Holy crap, they figured out a way to do Triple Strike that actually feels elegant *and* spawned a "side" mechanic?!
Color me very impressed!
Are you serious? That's how triple strike has always been proposed. Was there ever a time where people did not think of exactly these options like five minutes after thinking of the words "triple strike"? I have seen dozens of custom card creators come up with exactly this solution independently and the discussions spanning years.
The best possible solution has always been this. And it still is as flawed as ever.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

MaRo has said on his blog that making these actually has shown exactly how much work it would be to get these into Black Border, and therefore has lowered the chances of seeing either mechanic there.
There needs to be a Turkey creature with Triple Strike.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
As MaRo said, if a creature with last strike receives double strike, it will have triple strike. I am not quite sure how it works since first strike replaces regular strike and can't grant a creature double strike.
Could come in black border these unset cards are usually test runs for mechanics
Other than that, great stuff though it kinda confirms there will be no such mechanics in regular sets.
Love that flavour text!

This is why we don't judge a set on a small portion of the cards in it.
