If a Zombie you control would deal combat damage to a player, instead that player mills that many cards.
Whenever a creature card is put into an opponent's graveyard from their library, exile that card and create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.

Where it came from
Undead Alchemist was released in 2011 as part of the Innistrad set, a cornerstone of Magic: The Gathering that drew heavily from Gothic horror tropes and classic monster cinema. The set was designed to evoke a world where humanity struggles against the encroaching forces of darkness, and the card itself serves as a mechanical manifestation of the 'zombie tribal' archetype that defined the set's blue and black color identity.
The card was illustrated by Dave Kendall, who utilized a dark, moody aesthetic to capture the macabre nature of the Alchemist. The design centers on the transformation of the opponent's deck into a graveyard of creatures, emphasizing the theme of morbid reclamation. Upon its release, it was noted by players for its unique ability to disrupt traditional game flow, solidifying its place as a distinctive piece of mid-era card design.
