See Challenge # 159.
Wait, mtg has a zombie crocodile demon and a zombie frog beast, but not a zombie human?
This is deliberate. "Zombie" with no race type implies "zombie human". "Zombie Insect" or "Zombie Bird" or whatever is used to diverge from the norm. Yes, this is blatant human exceptionalism :)
Well, yes, but they removed human exceptionalism from most of the class types like wizards and clerics. I guess if zombies were "human zombie" it would screw up human tribal.
Should this specify non-zombie? Doesn't make sense to infect the infected, also prevents loops in the mirror
Realized this in the Cube According to Gatherer part 6? While scrounging around for ways to hurt Chameleon Colossus I realized that Magic will never intentionally combine Human, Zombie and/or Spirit, so I made a card that something bad to each of those types individually, and ultimately something really bad to any changeling that accidentally had all three types. A really mean silver bullet that I eventually chose not to use.
Add "non-zombie". Thanks to comments.
