Raise the Skeleton Pirates
Corpses of the Lost is a compact engine for aggressive graveyard plays. The enchantment immediately pumps your Skeletons with a permanent plus one to power and grants haste, so already deployed bodies close out damage sooner. On entry you get a 2/2 black Skeleton Pirate token to anchor an early board presence or fuel sacrifice and synergy lines.
The end step clause fits Lost Caverns themes of descent and retrieval. If you descended that turn you can pay one life to bounce Corpses of the Lost back to hand, letting you replay it for continual token production and recurring tempo. This card works well with graveyard enablers and token doublers and slots neatly into mono black and dimly colored pirate decks where repeatable threats matter.

Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – Skeletons you control get +1/+0 and have haste. When Corpses of the Lost enters the battlefield, create a 2/2 black Skeleton Pirate creature token. At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn, you may pay 1 life. If you do, return Corpses of the Lost to its owner’s hand. (You descended if a permanent card was put into your graveyard from anywhere.)
