Hi all!

I'm trying to do something with all these apostles I have floating around. So I figured I'd throw them together with some demons and Athreos and see what happened. For some reason the people I've play tested this against hated the idea of paying 3 life to stop me getting each of my Apostles back. Very satisfying.

I would love some suggestions as to how to make this deck a bit more resilient/annoying. Esper control seems to be a big part of my meta, and a deck I love to beat - if we could get this deck to a point where it could do that that'd be great!
