Let's make a Deck of the Dead

Today I rewatched Dawn of the Dead 2005. Why don't we make a Deck of the Dead?

Creatures almost coming back to play regularly are:

Bloodsoaked Champion 2/1       1B: return it to play if you attacked the turn

Den Protector      2/1       Morphy: Return any card form the graveyard to hand

Tymaret, the Murder King 2/2 1B sacrifice a creature: return it back to play

Marang River Prowler 2/1 2U: cast it from graveyard if you control a 
green/black creature

Flamewake Phoenix 2/2 R: Return to play if you control a 4 power creature

Deathmist Raptor 3/3 Morphy anoth


Deck 1

First, I want to try a Sultai deck with Bloodsocked, Prowler and Deathmist Raptor. The deck may also include Soulflayer combo pieces.

The list:

Den Protector 4
Marang River Prowler 2
Deathmist Raptor 4

Crux of Fate 2

Lands (from a list on MTGgoldfish.com)
Crux of Fate is mainly added for the aggro environment of Standard. But we must ensure the possibility of casting Commune with the gods for a Den protector to bring back Crux of Fate then clear the board with Crux. To me it feels too slow to use Den Protector plus Crux against aggros but the Soulflayer line seems workable after Crux of Fate. Maybe, a better option is trying 4 Crux of Fate in this deck.


Deck 2

Arcbond is an interesting card I'd like to test out but I don't have time on testing recently. My idea is using it with Deathtouch creatures to clear the battlefield and rebuild a force with Deathmist Raptor, Flamewake Phoenix and Haven of the Spirit Dragon. I think Haven is underestimated right now. In GR decks, it largely helps the deck to come back after sweeping spells in late game.

The list:

Elvish Mystic 4
Rattleclaw Mystic 4
Heir of the Wilds 4
Deathmist Raptor 4
Den Protector 1
Flamewake Phoenix 4
Thunderbreak Regent 4
Stormbreath Dragon 4
Ashcloud Phoenix 2


Arcbond 4
Crater's Claw 2

Haven of the Spirit Dragon 3
Other lands 20

GWx Starfield of Nyx Deck

People say Magic Origins is a down-graded set. To me, It feels more like Ice Age then Khans in the variety of card functions and types. Of course, Ice Age was a fun deck, weakness never harms the entertaining level of cards. Starfield of Nyx  is an interesting one. It goes perfectly into enchantment decks evolved during late Theros Standard. Win conditions: 1. Bring Chromanticore into play from grave. 2. Attack with animated enchatments for winning. 3. Bring Whip of Erebos into play and reanimate Hornet Queen. 4. Bring Sigil of the Empty Throne into play 5. Assault Formation + high toughness creatures Removals: End Hostility Banishing Light     Doomwake Giant Defense: Nyx-Fleece Ram Courser of Kruphix Card Advantages: Ephara, God of the Polis Commune with the Gods Satyr Wayfinder Eidolon of Blossoms Gather the Pack Combos: Starfield of Nyx  + everything /  Font of Vigor Ephara, God...
