Humans, with the Interaction between Athreos, God of Passage + Birthing Ritual . Still a Work in Progress

Can play fair magic until you get Birthing Ritual, and then you typically want to be spinning off of Mosswood Dreadknight, and fresh Thalia's Lieutenant, as Mosswood Dreadknight is a resilient threat at two mana, that lets you draw cards off of it. If you spin into Athreos, God of Passage, every spin now asks your opponent if they want to pay life to make you bin the creatures you spin off of thereafter.

Still working on Sideboard. I am trying to avoid cards that aren't creatures for the sideboard, because I want to be able to find them with Birthing Ritual spins. Lavinia, Azorius Renegade isn't particularly good outside of the Amulet Titan match up. Sylvan Safekeeper Maybe? Idk. Harsh Mentor is good into Boros energy?

Current wisdom suggests going up Voice of Victory or adding in Aang, Swift Savior   as pseudo-Reflector Mage.
