Athreos, God of Passage would benefit a deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value, such as an Aristocrats deck in Magic: the Gathering. While Athreos can be a powerful engine for recurring creatures, there are potentially better cards for this strategy, such as Reveillark or Karmic Guide. Whether Athreos should see play depends on the specific synergies and strategies of the deck, but it can certainly be a strong inclusion in the right build.

Rules

01/24/20

Counters put on a God remain on it while it’s not a creature, even if they have no effect.

01/24/20

The abilities of Gods function as long as they’re on the battlefield, regardless of whether they’re creatures.

01/24/20

The type-changing ability that can make a God not be a creature functions only on the battlefield. It’s always a creature card in other zones, regardless of your devotion to its color. It’s always a creature spell while it’s on the stack.

01/24/20

When a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color (including the mana symbols in the mana cost of the God itself) will determine if a creature entered the battlefield or not for abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield.

04/26/14

If there are no legal targets for Athreos’s last ability (perhaps because each of your opponents has hexproof), it will be removed from the stack with no effect. No one may pay 3 life and you won’t return the creature card to your hand.

04/26/14

It doesn’t matter who controlled the creature when it died. Athreos’s last ability will trigger if you owned that creature.

04/26/14

You are a creature’s owner if the card representing it began the game in your deck, or if it’s a token that entered the battlefield under your control.
