hootsnag on Athreos White Black Undying Evil

Ok. I guess Null Brooch is my one true pet card above them all. It fits anywhere haha! Let's see. First, I didn't add Bloodghast because it can't block. I definitely need to add in Nether Traitor. I wasn't sure whether I should add cards like Plague Spitter or not because they are creatures and they could die (unless I get Avacyn out fast). This is why I chose Noxious Field instead. It will stay around along with Death Pits of Rath even when all creatures are dead on the board and I will still have a way to kill all creatures every turn. I definitely want to add Harvester of Souls and Pitiless Plunderer. They synergize beautifully with this deck. Creatures that gain me life or make others lose life for creatures dying isn't something I'm sure I want to add. I will need to test what I have more before I decide. I don't think Body Launderer will be the best for this deck. I'm not sure I would add it. Vanishing Verse isn't really necessary. I have WAY more than enough removal as it is. I can try and squeeze in Crypt of Agadeem but I don't know if it will get much value. I'm going to add Citanul Flute in here as well. I mainly chose Athreos, God of Passage as the commander just to make my creatures come out even faster unless someone wanted to pay the life. Hopefully I will finish updating this today and run some tests. Thank you SufferFromEDHD for all of your suggestions and help. I really appreciate it!

If you genuinely want this deck to be as hated as possible, non expense spared, there are some mono-black prison cards that could find a home here. Contamination locks down mana, Chains of Mephistopheles forces extra draws into discard/mill, The Abyss and Death Pits of Rath kill creatures on contact, and Nether Void is an all-encompassing Mana Leak. On the artifact side of things, Trinisphere and Winter Orb eat so much mana it's not funny, except for you because you're paying life and not mana.

(I don't own any of the super-high value cards, but I've always wanted to.)

Are you looking for stuff like Tainted AEther, Spreading Plague, Impatience, Death Pits of Rath, Dictate of the Twin Gods, Everlasting Torment, Repercussion

Just came across these two cards,Death Pits of Rath and Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant. They seem to be synergistic with your general.

Yo if you can't get Zagras out or if he blows up, having stuff like Death Pits of Rath or Retreat to Hagra could make for good backup plans.

Viridian Longbow, Death Pits of Rath, Gorgon's Head, and Gorgon Flail will add a good bit of shenanigans with a side of salt =D

Love the Death Pits of Rath / Goblin Sharpshooter combo in here, what a classic! Still, the nazi-reference is way beyond being acceptable.

That's either just cheap clickbait or - even worse - a morbid trivialisation of history, especially with right-wing conservatives gaing more and more momentum all around the globe. Please just stop that, there is nothing to gain here.
