A night of Halloween!

Invite your best friends and give them a treat by celebrating a night of Halloween, a holiday where the wall between the living and the dead thins a bit... bringing the dead back to life! The "signature spell" of this deck is All Hallow's Eve and the ideal game fills up graveyards with creatures to set up a giant mass reanimation! This deck is focused on fun for the whole table with an amazing cross between theme and mechanics. Savor the flavor with Black Cat, Feral Shadow and Headless Horseman. Fill up graveyards with Dread Summons, Rankle, Master of Pranks and other discard and removal spells. All of these cards synergize with your commander, The Haunt of Hightower. And if you're lucky enough to draw it, All Hallow's Eve will bring all the dead back from the grave! It's the only deck I've ever played where opponents had such a good time that they told their friends about the deck and wanted to play again in future games!

Because this deck is a lower power theme deck, there is only one tutor, Diabolic Tutor, to grab the signature card. Fortunately, there is a similar substitute with Living Death, giving us "3 copies" of our signature spell. However, with only 3 copies, we obviously won't be seeing a mass reanimation spell every game. If you really want to ensure that "Halloween" happens every game, add more tutors and consider Twilight's Call as an additional symmetric mass reanimation spell (if Twilight's Call "Halloween rating" doesn't bother your inner Vorthos too much).

Don't fret if you haven't been playing Magic a long time and don't own the now-expensive All Hallow's Eve. Cut it for a tutor or Twilight's Call.

Happy Halloween!

This is intended to be a flavorful and fun deck for the whole table. Please leave comments if you can suggest anything that makes it more flavorful and on-theme or if you see anything that might be too powerful.
