Mr. Richard Garfield, where did I see that before?

New official MtG card:

Unbreathing Horde 2b
Creature - Zombie Rare
Unbreathing Horde enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it for each other Zombie you control and for each Zombie card in your graveyard.
If Unbreathing Horde would be dealt damage, prevent that damage and remove a +1/+1 counter from it.
Illus. Dave Kendall #121/264 0/0

Sooooo, it costs 3, enters play with N +1/+1 counters, when it takes X damage - remove X of such counters and it needs other zombies in play or the ash heap, ehrm, graveyard.
Where did I see this before?

In Legends of the Five Rings? ^^

Shambling Hordes

There's also Lost in the Mist, which sounds a bit like Lost in Crowds.

And Sensory Deprivation, which reminds me of Sensory Deprivation.

I must say that I really like style of that new set and artwork is awesome. It feels like Cthulhu/WoD mix. There is also Murder of Crows and lot of vampires. I read somewhere that Garfield is still big fan of VTES.

It was done on purpose. Maybe as a homage to VtES.
