So I love cards like Fleecemane Lion and Rakshasa Deathdealer. They are just efficient creatures that are good at any point in the game, and that gave me an idea. What if we made a deck filled with creatures that are efficient and need to be dealt with, and put Athreos, God of Passage in there to make my opponent cry a bit! So That is the idea of this deck. All the creatures do a lot of things the opponent does not want, and if you add on a beatdown strategy, the 3 life is not the easiest thing to pay!

I added Grim Haruspex instead of Courser of Kruphix because they both have the card advantage aspect, but Grim Haruspex fits the theme of the deck.

I also removed Elvish Mystic because the acceleration is not as good since most of my 3 drops only have 1 colorless slot so it's harder to ramp into them.

Both of those changes I might go back on, but I would love opinions and advice! This is just a quick brew that could definitely be much better!
