Carcasses and zombified creatures are pretty common imagery, especially on planes such as Innistrad and Amonkhet.

Beetles, bees, ants, flies, and many more types of insects are all supported under the blanket term ‘Insect’. Of note specifically is the card Delver of Secrets, which transforms into an gross bug monster, the insect-headed gods in the Hour of Devastation set and the planeswalker Grist, who is a sentient swarm of insects.

The card Hostage Taker allows you to take an opponent’s creature and summon it to your side of the field, with the implication being it’s been kidnapped and later recruited into a pirate’s crew.

There are several LGBT characters and some have canonically passed away. You can play as them in battle, which means they may die.

Some earlier card artworks featuring women had more risque and revealing clothes, but it’s much less apparent and common with the game’s current art direction now.

The card Drown in the Loch shows this happening, and March of the Drowned depicts victims of drowning. In the Theros Beyond Death trailer, Elspeth is also shown being close to drowning as she's dragged underwater by nightmare creatures.
