My take on an Orzhov Hatebears build featuring the god of passage himself, Athreos, God of Passage. Utilizing the bears (not even 2/2's for 2, smh), we slow down the rest of the table with some stax pieces thrown in until we're able to find our win conditions, primarily Aetherflux Reservoir and Bolas' Citadel.

With our creatures bound to draw some hate, we can lean into Athreos' ability to return the cheap creatures to our hand or slowly whittle down the enemies life totals. If we get into the later game without finding our main win condition, we should be able to slap down a pretty hefty Avacyn, Angel of Hope or Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite to allow our haters to turn sideways for the win as well.

I still have 4 cards at the moment to cut so any suggestions are great. I've also never piloted a deck like this before so any tips or missing strategies that are pointed out are greatly appreciated!
