Athreos, Shroud-Veiled

Legendary Enchantment Creature — God

Indestructible

As long as your devotion to white and black is less than seven, Athreos isn't a creature.

At the beginning of your end step, put a coin counter on another target creature.

Whenever a creature with a coin counter on it is put into the graveyard from the battlefield or is put into exile, return that card to the battlefield under your control.

It's not a bad list at all, but if you want to go with vampires plus lifegain subtheme there are better choices of commanders (Astarion, the Decadent, Amalia Benavides Aguirre, Vona, Butcher of Magan, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, and Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher are solid options. There are tons of other good options too).

If you're heart-set on Athreos, I would drop the vampire/lifegain themes and go with creatures that have sac effects (e.g. Westfold Rider, Cathar Commando, Bounty Agent, Priest of Fell Rites, Stronghold Assassin, Necrotic Sliver, Burnished Hart, Dauthi Voidwalker) plus cards with reanimation abilities (e.g. Bishop of Rebirth, Celestine, the Living Saint, Custodi Soulcaller, Redemption Choir, Sun Titan, Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher, Athreos, Shroud-Veiled, Breathkeeper Seraph, Court of Ardenvale, Gift of Immortality).

Some thoughts:

• Opposition Agent is a possibly and suitably oppressive card, particularly with tutoring and fetching running rampant. Great fun.
• Raffine's Tower is a fetchable tri-land, which is great early game for color correction.
• Imperial Seal has been reprinted, so it's an extra cheap tutor that might be handy.
• Counterbalance can be delightfully obnoxious, and while it's combo potential with Sensei's Divining Top, you do have Soothsaying as an alternate option. It's countermagic, but it's exceptionally repeatable. Also, in terms of countermagic- and control-like things, I'd say to go for things with benefits, like Commandeer, Desertion, Vindicate (which I say is a must in those colors), Anguished Unmaking, Cyclonic Rift, Sunder, The Meathook Massacre...
• Dream Trawler might be pricey, but it's also very obnoxious to face. You could also think, in terms of creatures and creature-generation, about Sigil of the Empty Throne, Heliod, the Radiant Dawn  ^Flip, Field of the Dead...
• Felidar Sovereign is another alternate win with fewer life required than the Test of Endurance, though Aetherflux Reservoir can be another fun way to ensure your life shoots sky-high and gives you ammo to destroy things. I'm also partial to Kokusho, the Evening Star in any black deck.
• A fun (but slow) way to swipe creatures is Athreos, Shroud-Veiled. Great fun, and it's fairly hard for opponents to deal with if it's not a creature.

Cool Idea. Athreos, Shroud-Veiled has a similar effect for your own creatures. By Gnome Means is interesting, too.

I'm making a kill steal creature deck with Athreos, Shroud-Veiled as the commander. Is there any cards that will allow me to put more than one coin counter on more than one creature at the end of each of my turns? Proliferate won't help me here, and neither will Blink nor Flicker since it's effect is not an etb effect. Plus any good instant kill not exile spells are also appreciated

Kill spells in my deck already Doom Blade

Drag to the Underworld

Go for the Throat

Hero's Downfall

Infernal Grasp

Murder

Murderous Cut

multimedia it does seem a shame not to attack with a deathtouch, Lifelink creature though haha I think you've sold me on Karmic Guide. Looks like I'll probably be cutting Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Sanguine Bond, Athreos, Shroud-Veiled (since I'm getting rid of a lot of high devotion cards and I have rarely used his coin counter ability like I hoped to), and Sangromancer if not Demon of Loathing, which was kind of a pet card. is a 7/7 creature with flying and trample that makes opponent sac a creature really subpar?

SufferFromEDHD Yeah I'm still playing with the list a little haha. Super sad when I realized Athreos, Shroud-Veiled doesn't work lol

I can imagine Necropotence being quite good in this actually, yeah. Worst case you can activate it as a panic button to give him indestructible. Works at instant speed right?

Greater Auramancy is a solid include though, the more non-targetting the merrier haha

As for Vigilant Martyr and Holistic Wisdom, I dunno about those ones. If you're really itching for protection, Martyr might serve a good purpose, though I dunno if Holistic Wisdom would be worth it in general, not over something like Timeless Witness for example.

Let's suppose I have Athreos, Shroud-Veiled, creature A that has 'destroy a creature on etb' with a coin counter and Resourceful Defense on the battlefield, and I play another creature B that has 'destroy a creature on etb'.
Can I stack triggers so that:
1. Creature A with the coin counter will die on etb of creature B
2. I'll move the coin counter from A to B
3. Bring creature A back with the Athreos, Shroud-Veiled trigger
4. Target creature B with creature A etb 'destroy another target creature'
5. Move counter again. Rinse and repeat

Can I move the counter this way? Does that work the way I think?

Examples of combos I have in mind:
Fell Stinger + Sidisi, Undead Vizier for infinite tutor and draw on exploit
Plaguecrafter + Demon's Disciple for infinite etb, ltb and discard
Noxious Gearhulk + Cavalier of Dawn for infinite etb, ltb, lifegain and tokens

Played both this weekend and last... It is very mana hungry... I think i need to switch out a couple cards for rocks or dorks.... but was fun.. Only played 2 games each weekend with this deck, and didnt win any of the 4.. but one was pretty close. Athreos, Shroud-Veiled was the hero for sure. I was able to get an untap engine in play and kept my commander around with a coin counter and the started taking stuff. But quickly became the threat and my friends all took me out.
