Bad news —May 12, 2014

I just got my tush whooped last night against an izzet control deck, featuring Young Pyromancer, Prognostic Sphinx, Guttersnipe and tons of annoying removal and counters - I so hate Rapid Hybridization. Either got mana screwed or did not run into appropriate removal to take care of them. I tend to notice that my hands are quite random and can't really build up an appropriate strategy - it's more of a "what bomb do I topdeck next".
What's interesting is that I was always disappointed to get Athreos in place of something else.
Athreos did prove very powerful in a FFA though where I got to land two Boros Reckoners along with him, followed by a Whip of Erebos enough to help me sustain him as a creature on my turn.
I could really use some advice and ideas on how I could improve this. Thanks guys and girls!
