Nice draftable uncommon to build a subtheme around in an Amonkhet return.

I dig it. Man I miss when draft was more popular...

It's nice in mechanics, design, but the flavor text couldn't be more off. Just look at the text on Sparring Mummy or Those Who Serve. Zombies on Amonkhet, especially the white ones, are substitutes for normal people so that the normal people can train for the Trials. The Trials turned out to be selections for the most powerful warriors to be zombified and coated with Lazotep, so that they could cross the Planar Bridge (which could not transport living matter) to fight in the War of the Spark. Zombies created from Trials winners are blue/black ( Spellweaver Eternal / Lazotep Reaver). If you failed the Trials, you'd get mummified into a servant ( Those Who Serve). But death was always the end of your Trials.

plakjekaas, any suggestions for an updated flavor text? If I like it, I'll change it :)

Should it be a rare? It is a lord that can give "some" up to two evergreen abilities. I said no because there's no +1/+1 added onto it.

I'd suggest something like:

"Restlessly looking for purpose, but the Hour of Devastation left nobody to serve"

Uncommon is fine btw, the granted abilities don't stack, there's no risk of overpoweredness if someone manages to collect more than one.
