Budget but potentially competitive AKH orzhov build that doesn't take the WB Zombies approach. Instead, I wanted to focus on two of the underappreciated gods, Bontu the Glorified and Oketra the True. This is a tokens/sacrificing deck at heart.

Several key interactions make this deck work.

1. Anointed Procession: Ah yes. The white Parallel Lives. The value of this piece, while a bit slow for standard, should be evident when you can get 10 servos simply by casting a Servo Exhibition off of Sram's Expertise. Still not satisfied? Try embalming an Angel of Sanctions and getting two for the price of one!

2. Oketra the True: Oketra makes use of the small army you give her and brings her considerable 3/6 double strike body to the table while remaining incredibly difficult to kill. Her activated ability can be very useful for longer games.

3. Bontu the Glorified: Bontu here has taken a lot of criticism since being spoiled simply because he's the only god that can't be powered on by a certain board state/number of cards in hand. That said, with the right deck he can be a very powerful threat. In this case, your army of servos fit this purpose incredibly well. His ability allows you to wear the opponent down life point by life point while keeping you one step ahead with the scry ability.

4. Fumigate: with all of the (potentially) indestructible creatures in this deck, the decision to add a wrath effect like this was an easy one. Not only can it clear a tricky board state and put you ahead at least 5-6 life regularly, it can also power on Bontu the Glorified for a free attack. Of course, with Angel of Sanctions usually holding down a threat, you must be careful with when you use this.

5. Herald of Anguish: This guy is amazing, and not just because he can be cast as early as your third or fourth turn. Herald also functions excellently against control decks if they let him stick, forcing them to discard every turn he stays alive. He also as a sac ability that both powers on Bontu and acts as removal. An automatic include.
