So this is my take on a Orzhov deck, headed up by Athreos, God of Passage and built around the idea of costing everyone else life and rewarding me with life.

This deck has had a total rewrite as of November 2021, and the list reflects its current state. It has been rebuilt as a more Aristocrats sacrifice heavy deck, seeking to sacrifice creatures for value, and then use Athreos, God of Passage as a way to simply recur them for more value.
