I think it works well; after the Eldrazi Titans awoke, some of Zendikar's more spiritual population resorted to worshipping them as gods.
The original deathgreeter's flavor text speaks to how the people of Jund give death and the trophies of the dead a religious significance. This works well with a Zendikar transplant, since some of the faithful of Zendikar have given into appeasing the Eldrazi since they believe them to be gods.
What would a person, given to feeding the Eldrazi as a religious call look like?
Something like this maybe:
Color: Black
Location: A cliffside on Zendikar
Action: Show a human shaman of Zendikar, on his knees looking skyward. He is in awe of an Eldrazi before him, which is casting a noticeable shadows across the scene but is otherwise not seen. This creature is frightening and the source of his faith now.
Focus: the shaman dwelling in the shadow of an Eldrazi.
Mood: Nothing else matters, but appealing the Eldrazi gods.
What do you think? Were else would a Deathgreeter make sense?
Flavorwise it would work, though the actual mechanic might make Aristocrats/Rally decks a little too good.
