Grave Tide Gambit
Corpses of the Lost is a compact engine that turns incremental skeletons into an immediate threat. For {2}{B} you impose a persistent boost by giving Skeletons you control plus one power and haste. The enter the battlefield token generation buys you tempo and a clock that opponents must answer or face rapid chip damage on your next attack steps.
Play this enchantment in a deck built around the skeleton tribe or token recursion. The end step trigger asks a choice that matters in tight games. If you descended that turn you may pay one life to bounce Corpses of the Lost back to your hand. That loop preserves the enchantment for multiple activations and lets you reapply the enter the battlefield value while surviving board sweeps. Practical, efficient, and easy to sequence with sacrifice outlets or flicker effects.
