B/W deck, Brimaz or liliana's reaver

Deck Help forum

seems like Brimaz, King of Oreskos is a better card on it own, but with Athreos, God of Passage in play does it still beat out Liliana's Reaver ? I think I'm more likely to get the reaver back then brimaz, which means re-usable deathtouch. Any thoughts?

I think with Atheros out either one will be targeted for exile. Go with the better card. Depends on which color your deck is more heavily vested in as well. Also your available land base.

neither of them are enchantments which protects them from most standard targeted exile removal. Curse of the Swine and Guild are the only ones that spring to mind. Though your opponents could just exile athreos I guess. Thanks, I guess I'll go with brimaz then.

Brimaz, any day of the week. Your argument of "well, maybe if I have Athreos, and if it dies, there's a slightly better chance that I maybe might be able to use it again" isn't really a very solid one. If your opponent has any sense, they'll take 3 rather than let your 4 drop come back anyway. Brimaz is simply a superior card.
