Huh, looks like Tymaret, the Murder King has been busy.

More seriously, it is interesting to compare this to History of Benalia. No vigilance on the tokens, and the final chapter gains life and scrys instead of pumping your team, which means it isn't quite as good in an aggressive shell... but if you're doing a grindy shell (like Zombies tend to be), then it may be what you're looking for. First two chapters milling yourself is also interesting - needing to exile something to get the bodies is a significant cost, but milling something like Scrapheap Scrounger or Dread Wanderer is also a significant upside.

Is that a statue made of masks?

Ugh, this art is just...what on earth. Did they have some last-minute change? Almost all the other sagas have a very stylized art. Whereas this has a scene of...some zombies looking at a statue made out of zombies? I'm guessing the idea sounded cooler in concept than in reality, but from any distance the statue looks less like it's made of heads/masks/whatever, and more like it was just drawn by an eight-year-old. To be clear, I don't necessarily think it's the artist's fault, more likely the art direction in general. It's just a bad, ugly-looking idea. The head especially looks like a child tried to recreate "the predator" in papier-mâché.

Not to mention, at least imo, the story is very unclear. Tymaret calls the dead...so he can make a statue out of him? What are the zombies around the base doing, just appreciating the art? Zombies can appreciate art? Compare this to something like the akroan war which tells a very clear story.
