Zhenmushou is a good card.
Magic resources are looking like a bit of an issue for modern Lotus... There's no appealing ramps with magic, so running Spirit in a Bottle or more Incendiary Blasts commits you to playing two foundations per game. Walking Corpses and Pyrrhic Victory will give you a smooth start, but as a result I'm avoiding some of the better two magic cards.
Consider Pocket Demon or Mesmerism.
Per 16.3 in the rulebook, all damage on Walking Corpses is Corrupted. The text should read "Cannot turn to change location. All damage on this card is Corrupted."
