Strategy

This deck, centered around Athreos, God of Passage, focus on a Shadowborn Apostle tribal strategy. The goal is likely to sacrifice multiple Shadowborn Apostles to either tutoring for demons, draining opponents' life totals with Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat triggers, or to simply bring them back to your hand with Athreos' ability. Good points of the deck include the ability to generate a lot of value from sacrificing creatures, decent removal options with cards like Swords to Plowshares and Anguished Unmaking, and strong mana acceleration with Sol Ring, Crypt Ghast, and Cabal Coffers. The deck also has card advantage engines like Skullclamp and Reliquary Tower to ensure you maintain resources throughout the game. On the flip side, the main weaknesses of this deck may include vulnerability to board wipes like Wrath of God, since sacrificing multiple creatures could leave you open to losing a lot of resources at once. The deck may also struggle against highly aggressive strategies that can pressure your life total before you can get your engine going. Overall, this deck has a unique and fun playstyle that can lead to explosive turns and draining your opponents' life totals, making it a potentially strong choice for a Commander game.
