This is an incredibly fun combo deck, and can unleash waves of devastation as your creatures continuously rise from the grave. Athreos, God of Passage is an annoying commander to begin with, and fills an excellent support role. However, while he is helpful the deck is still incredibly dangerous with him relaxing casually in the command zone. The strategy of this deck revolves around abilities that trigger on entry or death, as well as sacrifice. There's also a high number of board clears as this deck can recover exceptionally well (if not outright benefit) from them where other decks will suffer. The deck runs a significant number of combos, far too many to list here. Most are 3 part combos, but with the number of cards that can substitute in to create or change the combos and the excellent recursion, it's surprisingly difficult to NOT pull off at least one in a game, if not more. I purposely try to avoid running infinite combos as I find them to be a boring way to win games, and my playgroup has a bit of an unspoken rule against them. That said there are some in the deck; so it's up to you to find and exploit them if you wish. It's not highly competitive, but it can be a bit over the top for some casual games.

As far as the categories go, Many of the cards fit into multiple categories (i.e. Ashnod's Altar), and were placed in their respective categories due to the role they most often fulfill when playing the deck. The Support category is a bit of a catch all for cards that don't necessarily fit well into any one category. The "Lethal" category is specifically cards that have the potential to end games either the turn they're played or shortly thereafter. I tend to build on a bit of a budget and prefer to build new deck over optimizing ones I have, so there's a relative lack of pricey competitive cards especially when it comes to lands.
