Deck built around the new Theros God: Klothys, God of Destiny. Waiting to test this in person. I have tested a version of this on Arena Brawl. This is the list I plan to run when I take it to my FNM group.

I'm Excited to test this in person. I've had fun playing this commander in Brawl on Arena. I might need to add some more big creatures or something like Embercleave to close out games a bit smoother. My deck in Arena has Embercleave, Mirror Shield and Ilharg, the Raze-Boar and I really like how they work in the deck. I don't have them in paper magic so if this deck doesn't perform too well I might have to buy them to add them to the decklist. Also, I think Mirror Shield is an excellent card and a nice budget option to replace Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves.

Strategy: The strategy is pretty simple here. Just get Klothys, God of Destiny out as fast as possible and start pinging opponents for 2 life on each of my first mainphases. She's cheap to cast so it should be no problem getting her out on turn 2 or 3. There's usually a good amount of cards going into graveyards so it is easy to get her ability off. After that, I want to build up my devotion to red and green to turn Klothys into a creature to either swing in or to protect myself. I've tried to make this deck with as few artifacts as possible. The deck is mostly enchantment based. There many cards that draw off of playing enchantments.

Possible Edits: I might end up adding some X spells eventually. There might be too much access to mana and not enough expensive cards to spend it all. Alternatively, I might try to find some cards that give extra combat steps but I'm not sure if there are any in red, the ones I know of are in Boros. I'll have a better understanding of what changes to make once I test this deck in person. Any tips, advice or criticism is welcomed.
