An opponent uses an Ixalan Binding on a creature I control. In this case it was a Zombie.
I have a Lilliana Planeswalker that lets me "Put target creature from your graveyard into play". Can I select a Zombie with the same name as the one exiled by Ixalan Binding? Does bringing it back from the graveyard count as "Casting" it?
Returning a creature from your graveyard to the battlefield with an effect such as Liliana, Death's Majesty's -3 ability is not casting the creature, so Ixalan's Binding can't prevent it.
Casting a spell means to move it from wherever it is to the stack (which is a zone, like the battlefield is). When all players pass priority, the top object on the stack resolves and if it's a permanent spell it would go to the battlefield. Ixalan's Binding prevents you from doing that first step of moving the card to the stack, but reanimating a creature skips the stack entirely.

Perfect, thanks for that. Clears it up perfectly.
