Simple Athreos endurance Commander Deck to slowly drain opponent's life and win by exhaustion.

The main concept is that almost every creature is worth sacrificing, and so the ones that not (big motherfuckers like Demon of Catastrophes or Razaketh, the Foulblooded) come at a turn when the opponent cannot afford to lose 3 life and let it die. Plus, if they do, there's a lot of "comeback" cards such as Immortal Servitude or Wake the Dead that bring back a lot of creatures directly to the battlefield and may be even used as finishers. A couple of cards, Erebos, God of the Dead and Archfiend of Despair, are meant to prevent opponents from getting life, so the game doesn't get stuck. Lifegain cards, Lifedrain and some removals complete the deck, mainly to resist until the thing is under control.

Would love if someone would give any kind of advice, specially if it has to do with synergies between Athreos and creatures that profit the player as you sacrifice them.

Suggestions appreciated, and please don't be too salty! With love, a MTG fan!!
