Raise the Fleet

Corpses of the Lost is a compact engine for aggressive black decks that leverages token synergy and recursion. Corpses of the Lost gives all your Skeletons a flat power boost and haste so your board can convert even small tokens into immediate pressure. The enter the battlefield trigger generates a 2/2 black Skeleton Pirate token to seed that pressure on the first turn you resolve it.

The card also offers a tidy loop for decks that can reliably descend. At the beginning of your end step you may pay one life to return Corpses of the Lost to your hand. That interaction lets you redeploy the enchantment to reforge tokens and keep haste active while avoiding permanent removal. This card fits well in token builds that value repeated ETB effects and short term tempo plays without bloating the mana curve.
