Modified version of Josh Lee Kwai's Game Knights Shadowborn Apostles Deck found here. Modified for my playgroup + for budgetary concerns.

Play a bunch of Shadowborn apostles and sac them to tutor out Rune-Scarred Demon, who will tutor out Edgewalker.

Leverage Athreos's life-loss effect + Bontu's Monument + Zulaport Cutthroat + Blood Artist to force a player to bounce things from the grave for you.

Use Phyrexian Altar + Pitiless Plunderer to generate coloured mana and treasure tokens.

Use skullclamp, phyrexian arena, Sign in Blood, Necropotence, Bloodgift Demon to draw.

Tutor out key pieces with Steelshaper's Gift, Enlightened Tutor, Razaketh, Recruiter of the Guard, and Shadowborn Apostles themselves.

Wipe the board with Merciless Eviction + With Dictate/Grave Pact and sacrifice outlets.

Mass-reanimate with Secret Salvage, Immortal Servitude, Angel of Glory's Rise, Faith's Reward

Win by cycling shadowborn apostles on and off the field with Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist on the field. Alternatively, swing in with commander damage, or a fat Ob Nixilis, Unshackled. Alternatively, Rip every apostle out of your deck with Thrumming Stone, and storm out with Tendrils of Agony.
