I would appreciate any comments helping me work towards getting this deck ready for FNM once Journey into Nyx hits.

The thing I'm liking about this opposed to other aggro variants is that if it someone does drag to mid or late game, you're not out, because you can bestow stuff to make your guys bigger.

I love the flavor of Athreos, God of Passage and his obvious Greek counterpart Charon! His ability even makes sense, as he is the ferrier of damned souls across Styx!

"From here is the road that leads to the dismal waters of Acheron. Here a whirlpool boils with mud and immense swirlings of water, spouting up the slimy sand of Cocytos.A dreadful ferryman looks after the river crossing, Charon: appalling filthy he is, with a bush of unkempt white beard upon his chin, with eyes like jets of fire; and a dirty cloak draggles down, knotted about his shoulders. He poles the boat, he looks after the sails, he is all the crew of that rust-coloured wherry which takes the dead across--an ancient now, but a god's old age is green and sappy." -Virgil, Aeneid 6. 299

FNM #1 — May 10, 2014
Edit

Okay, so I went to FNM last night with this deck. Overall, I ended up going 3-2, which was a bit disappointing. The two matches that I lost were against MBD and Red Deck Wins. I wasn't terribly surprised at the first loss, especially after he had pack rats to hold off the early game and then I got pounded the by multiple Garys. He just pulled some very effective hands. I was disappointed by the loss to Red Deck Wins. It came within 2 life the 3rd game and he managed to top deck nicely, while I couldn't draw an Aegis of the Gods from my SB over two games.

I've posted below in the comments what replacements I think need to be made to the deck, and I've moved all previous comments to this update.
