Deck Description

A shell of a deck designed for Athreos, of which there will be four in this deck. Toss humans around at will, get them back with Athreos or at least get Zombies from them.

Adding:
3x Athreos
3x Aegis of the Gods

How to Play

Your humans are expendable, as long as you have a Xathrid Necromancer or Athreos on deck. You have some fun sac engine cards, and a bait card in the High Priest of Penance. The Whip is there to mitigate life loss from Dark Prophecy, which lets you kick things into ultra high gear. Sideboard in Path of Bravery for bonus lifegain or to be more aggro. Brave the elements to avoid lots of nasty things as well as swing in unblockable with your weenies. Banisher priest can go in for Hero's Downfall depending on the matchup (reusable removal FTW).

Deck discussion for Dawn of the Dead

I would only run 3 atheros, yes he is good, but he is indestructible and 4 is just too many. I am building a similar deck but focusing on super aggro vs turning atheros on. I'll post a link when i build it.

Yeah, I'm pondering running only three, but I think there are two major reasons why I'd run 4: I will ALWAYS want at least one. People are going to start running a lot more removal for the gods as this one, Iroas and others are going to see a ton more play when Journey drops. Want to hedge my bets that I'll always have Athreos on board. Will need some play testing for sure to know if 3 or 4 is the final number.

Well the xathrid necromancers does similar things in that he make field wipes or trading bad for the other player. Not as good obviously, but good nonetheless. Your deck can't have to have atheros out to win, you need another play if they answer him. Make it where he is a good win con, but not the only.
