Hi
I want to ask if i embalm Vizier of Many Faces and copy for example Thraben Inspector , does the embalm token has no cmc or copy the thraben cmc?
I got confused because Vizier of Many Faces said that the token has no mana cost.
Thanks!
If you Emblam Vizier of Many Face and have it enter as a copy of a creature (such as Thraben Inspector) then the Embalmed token will have no mana cost, (and a CMC of 0).
Typically a token copy of a creature will have the same mana cost/CMC, since it is a copied characteristic. But the instructions on Vizier state that the Embalmed token has no mana cost.
Another question about it. With this situation embalmed token (thraben inspector) will be zombie in additional to it types?
Yes, it's a zombie in addition to its other types because Vizier explicitely says that.

Hope that helps.
Yes. Everything that Vizier of many faces says after 'except if Vizier was embalmed the token has..' will be a trait of the token copy.
This effect will overwrite any characteristic-defining abilities that try to set its color (such as Devoid).
