Corpses of the Lost (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Medium Play

Corpses of the Lost: Rise Ready

Corpses of the Lost is a compact enchantment that turns your Skeletons into immediate threats. For {2}{B} you grant all your Skeletons +1/+0 and haste, which changes board dynamics by turning chump blockers into potential clock finishers. When it enters the battlefield you also get a 2/2 black Skeleton Pirate token, so the card contributes both a permanent buff and a body to pressure life totals or hold tempo.

The end step clause fits the Lost Caverns theme where graveyard synergies and exploration interact. If you descended this turn you may pay 1 life to return Corpses of the Lost to your hand. That lets you redeploy it to trigger another token and reapply haste across a fresh set of Skeletons. Use it to extend value in attrition games and to enable aggressive loops with sacrifice outlets or recurring threats.
