Considering the set has ~40 different non-evergreen keywords according to Maro, I hope we get the equivalent to Sulfur Element for blue creatures. It would decimate TNN, Snapcaster, unflipped Delvers (2x also kills flipped ones), Clique and Strix. But we never get nice things.
Seeing the writing on the wall, likely won't happen now either. We will get a black pitch will neg shit and red will go on having sweet fuck all to deal with a resolved TNN.
While likely not good enough for Legacy, is this some sort of combo piece with Carrion Feeder/recurring Zombies?
Contrary to most other cards you try to hype here, this IS good enough for Legacy...
Once again - not trying to hype anything. Trying to post up cards that are getting spoiled, haven't been posted up here, and might be interesting for Legacy. I think hype would look more like "OH MY GOD THIS CARD IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE LEGACY BUY YOUR PLAYSET NOW OR YOU'LL REGRET IT ZOMBIE HYYYYYYYYPE TRAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIN!"
Carrion Feeder, Gravecrawler and Bridge From Below would let you draw 2 cards (and lose 2 life) for .

Gravecrawler + sac outlet (either Carrion Feeder or Goblin Bombardment) is probably the to-go combo with it. Bridge from Below is also a possibility.
Hard to say if that's going to be good enough for Legacy, but it does seem quite strong. Most removal that kills it is still a 2-for-1 as it replaces itself.
Edit: This + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar is a DIY Bargain. That's worth pointing out since Zombardment lists already run Altar now. This could help to find combo pieces for infinite Zombies or infinite damage.
Diabolic Edict got a reprint, just after they printed a better version last set.
This could do some fun stuff with Dreadhorde Arcanist and Brainstorm/Faithless Looting:
T2: Arcanist
T3: Draw from draw step, land, Brainstorm, Fists of Flame, +5/+0 to Arcanist, swing, recycle Fist of Flame +6/+0, hitting for 12 while generating card advantage. Scary, given how Arcanist is already taking the format by storm.
or
T3: Draw from draw step, land, Faithless Looting, dump big spell, Fists of Flame, +4/+0 to Arcanist, swing, play any spell with a CMC up to 5 for free with Arcanist.
But then you're playing Hatred. That card hasn't been good since ages.
Just generating some value with Fists of Flame is probably good enough, as you can bring back anything with a CMC of 3 (like K Command) over the course of the game with Arcanist. Since Fists are replacing themselves, the card should be rarely dead as long as you can protect your creature.
