Just looking for cool ways to build around Athreos, God of Passage so anything that works well with graveyard shenanigans and sacrifice strategies.

Sacrifice Kitchen Finks with Thoughtpicker Witch when Persist triggers and Finks comes back gain 2 life, then pay 2 life with Thrull Parasite to remove the -1/-1 counter from Finks and repeat each turn to steadily exile opponent's library.

Sacrifice Safehold Elite to Disciple of Griselbrand when Safehold Elite re-enters the battlefield Cathars' Crusade cancels out the -1/-1 counter from Persist and when Safehold Elite dies it triggers Pawn of Ulamog which puts an Eldrazi Spawn onto the field which can be sacrificed to generate the mana to activate Disciple of Griselbrand again to gain infinite life.

Heartless Summoning let's you cast Perilous Myr for free then kills it on arrival so opponent loses 2 life, then Athreos, God of Passage either returns it to hand or opponent loses another 3 life.If Perilous Myr gets sent to the graveyard cast Myr Retriever who is also free and also dies on arrival thanks to Heartless Summoning and when it dies you can return Perilous Myr to hand, not to mention the opponentmust again must choose to lose 3 life or have Myr Retriever return to hand. Depending on how they choose this could combo infinitely but even if they choose to pay the 3 life for both creatures that's still a total life loss of 8 (3 for each creature + 2 for Perilous Myr) Because Heartless Summoning is a bit of a nonbo with my 1/1 creatures, Krark-Clan Ironworks can be used instead of Heartless Summoning: Sacrifice Perilous Myr to float 2 colorless mana for casting Myr Retriever or re-casting Perilous Myr.
