Edgar Allan Poe is one of the greatest writers of all time. Strictly limiting myself to only Poe-related cards, I came up with this deck:

To start, every card with Poe flavor text:
Death Pits of Rath (8th & 9th Edition only)
Frozen Shade
Marsh Viper
Phantom Monster
Urborg

Then every Raven (not Crow!) card ever printed:
Mist Raven
Raven Familiar
Raven's Crime

Then cards with the same name as Poe stories:
Black Cat
Premature Burial

And, finally, a handful of direct Poe references:
Forgotten Lore
Monomania
Razor Pendulum
(skipping Nevermore to avoid splashing W)
