Does this mean we can look forward to yet more Zombie tribal stuff on the Standard horizon? Or... Skeleton?
We've had Zombie decks in standard since SOI (though admittedly not as prominent since the last rotation).
We've always had some undead floating around. I'd say we will probably see some kind of deck strategy with zombies and skeletons going forward with the Golgari or Liliana. Death baron himself is a really powerful lord for stalling a game due to the death touch, so I'm not sure what we will see going forward. Reassembling skeletons are kind of underwhelming on their own, but make them 2/2 death touch skeletons and now there is a problem.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

I checked the mtg database for zombies in standard. There aren't enough good zombies to make a deck. Ixilan was completely devoid of zombies and the overall zombie pool is lackluster. Maybe we'll get some good zombies in later sets when they bleed over into other colors again.

Hoping zombies in standard will be a thing again!
