Mummify

Mummify was a graveyard mechanic designed for Amonkhet. It was never released, eventually evolving into Embalm.
== Description ==
R&D created this mechanic when designing top down for the Egyptian-themed set, Amonkhet. 
Mummify went on creatures and was an activated ability usable only in the graveyard that allowed you to exile it to make a 2/2 black Zombie token with wither. It was ultimately not used because the Zombie tokens were feeling a bit too similar to what Shadows over Innistrad was doing with Zombies.
The idea of mummification remained and eventually became the technically more challenging but more diverse Embalm.
