Shadowborn Apostles

This is a slight rework and update to the deck Josh Lee Kwai played on His and Jimmy Wongs' Youtube Show Game Knights!

There are very few changes made to the deck itself from the one Josh played, but with new cards coming out all the time i have made some strategic replacements.

Replaced:

Indulgent Tormentor for Vilis, Broker of Blood Vilis adds a significant amount of card draw to the deck.

Bontu's Monument for Orzhov Signet Very few black creatures in the deck want to be hard cast other then Shadowborn Apostle. The benefit Bontu brings feels outweighed by the Signet.

1Plains for Land Tax helps to thin the deck of basic lands as well as making sure mana is never an issue.

1Swamp for Crypt of Agadeem Works like another copy of Cabal Coffers because your 1st big Shadowborn Apostle sacrifice usually does force a player to put them into the graveyard rather then allow the cycle to continue off of the Athreos, God of Passage trigger, which a big 18 total life swing regardless.

NOTE: ALWAYS TARGET THE WEAKEST PLAYER WITH ATHREOS.. you will consistently be able to get cards back into your hand. Once that player is low enough on life (18 or below) they cannot logistically pay life for your triggers anymore so that's when you actively look to protect them from death until you can get someone else down to the danger zone.
