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)
4 | Llanowar Wastes | ||
4 | Mana Confluence | ||
4 | Opulent Palace | ||
2 | Frontier Bivouac | ||
2 | Sandsteppe Citadel | ||
1 | Caves of Koilos | ||
1 | Forest | ||
1 | Mountain | ||
1 | Swamp | ||
1 | Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth | ||
1 | Wooded Foothills |
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
