Valengeta, that definitely makes sense, to me.
Have you also considered Vito, Fanatic of Aclazotz, Indulging Patrician, Markov Purifier, Ruthless Lawbringer, Verrak, Warped Sengir, or Vona, Butcher of Magan, or do they not fit the theme of this deck?

Things that can be useful with life gain. Kuro, Pitlord, Doom Whisperer, Greed, Staff of Compleation, Unspeakable Symbol, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Vona, Butcher of Magan. Just a few of the things I found with a quick search that could be interesting.

It's not a bad list at all, but if you want to go with vampires plus lifegain subtheme there are better choices of commanders (Astarion, the Decadent, Amalia Benavides Aguirre, Vona, Butcher of Magan, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, and Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher are solid options. There are tons of other good options too).
If you're heart-set on Athreos, I would drop the vampire/lifegain themes and go with creatures that have sac effects (e.g. Westfold Rider, Cathar Commando, Bounty Agent, Priest of Fell Rites, Stronghold Assassin, Necrotic Sliver, Burnished Hart, Dauthi Voidwalker) plus cards with reanimation abilities (e.g. Bishop of Rebirth, Celestine, the Living Saint, Custodi Soulcaller, Redemption Choir, Sun Titan, Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher, Athreos, Shroud-Veiled, Breathkeeper Seraph, Court of Ardenvale, Gift of Immortality).

Tyrant-Thanatos on What's your favorite mechanic, and …

I love filtered draw cards like what seshiro_of_the_orochi listed, but I prefer the ones that pitch the remaining cards into the grave, such as Grisly Salvage or Winding Way.
I also love draw-replacement effects. Whether it's Dredge, Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar, or something like Words of Waste.
I'm borderline obsessed with Underrealm Lich, which does both of these things.
I'm also unreasonably satisfied with the mechanical combination of creatures with both Vigilance and a Activated Ability. Some creatures are printed this way, like Adarkar Valkyrie or Vona, Butcher of Magan, but it's just as easy to create the scenario by granting vigilance to something like a Bloodline Keeper Flip.
seshiro_of_the_orochi on Saskia the Viking

This looks hilarious, I love the sheer brutality this deck represents. I've been struggeling to build a Saskia deck in a similar style, and yours really helps me with that. Thanks a lot!
Looking through your list, I think I have some useful suggestions.
First, Drizzt Do'Urden would propably be another quite awesome addition, the same goes for Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats. And Vona, Butcher of Magan. Seriously, this deck could basically every badass looking character one could find.
Then, you play such a high amount of legendary creatures that Heroes' Podium has actual finisher potential. And it even draws cards.
Finally, a thing I've always considered hilarious for Saskia would be blink spells. Just imagine attacking the player chosen for Saskia, with the other two opponents thinking they're save, to then flicker Saskia, resulting in an unexpected double kill.

Looks pretty powerful. The creature suite is obviously pretty toolboxy, but that's simply in the nature of legendary tribal. A legend you might find useful is Vona, Butcher of Magan. She just slaughters boards, and she's insane with a little protection.
What's more, Heroes' Podium gives you a powerful anthem and a way to filter for legends. Hero's Blade is another cool card for legendary tribal.

I think that's a stretch, tbh. it's not like Wizards themselves have endorsed the Imperium of Man, and I don't see a problem with letting you play as an evil faction. It's not even the first time they've done something like this; Vona, Butcher of Magan is a clear parallel to Hernan Cortes in both lore and card. New Capenna had a plethora of references to American crime, including the substance Halo which has a clear comparison to crack cocaine, and by extension the war on drugs which is a problem that is still ongoing today.
it's totally valid to be uncomfortable with Warhammer IP seeping into Magic, but it's a little unfair to shame Wizards for unrelated 40k fans supporting the Imperium when there's plenty of issues to raise within WotC themselves.
