Duskmourn is a very mechanically deep set, with a ton of backwards compatibility and crossover potential.

However, there's one card that's almost just too obvious in its application.

Domain was a big surprise from the Standard rotation, as most folks (including myself) thought the deck wouldn't function with the New Capenna triomes leaving the format. Well survive it did, but now it gains a picture-perfect enabler in Overlord of the Hauntwoods.

Getting domain isn't trivial without Spara's Headquarters and friends, with the deck needing to use various land searching effects to put it together, but Overlord of the Hauntwoods does it all in one shot, while also providing a constant threat that curves perfectly into Sunfall and even draws a card off of Up the Beanstalk.

Someone at Wizards of the Coast R&D really must like Domain, because it's hard to imagine a more perfect card for the deck!
