Embalm is a keyword ability introduced in Amonkhet.[1][2]
Description
The embalm ability only can be activated if the creature is in your graveyard. When activated, the card is exiled but it creates a token copy of that creature. Moreover, this creature token has three changes: it has no mana cost, it is a zombie in addition to its other creature types, and it becomes a monocolored white creature.
The Amonkhet set features a token card for each creature card with embalm to emphasize the flavor of mummification. For easy play, extra "embalmed" marked were provided on punch cards.
