Moan of the Unhallowed puts two 2/2 Zombie tokens into play for four mana — serviceable but unexciting on its own. The flashback cost of six mana is where the card collapses as a standalone option, making it a niche pick at best.

In Commander, Moan of the Unhallowed is a deep-roster option in dedicated Zombie tribal decks — not a staple, but a functional token generator that rewards graveyard-centric commanders who sidestep the flashback cost. In Pauper, where common-legal token generators are scarce, it sees occasional play in black-based reanimator and aristocrats lists that want recurring bodies at common rarity. Legacy and Vintage have no interest — the rate simply doesn't compete at those power levels. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander context: worthwhile only when the commander or signature spell specifically breaks the symmetry on cost or token count.

Price Context
Current price
$0.07 bulk tier
At $0.07, Moan of the Unhallowed is pure bulk — the lowest possible price tier and one you can pick up in any common box without a second thought. It's unlikely to appreciate meaningfully; the card has no competitive demand and Zombie token generators at this rate are plentiful enough that a reprint wouldn't move the needle either direction.
