Well well, any damage yet??

This deck started as a wild discussion of how to abuse athreos and in 30 minutes the form of this deck came into being. God of metal!


athreos, god of passage

  • Athreos, God of Passage it's a bömb! Vexing Devil suddenly got good. Otherwise, cheap, efficient and aggro.

  • Vexing Devil A true daredevil. Much pain with athreos.

  • Ball Lightning Attacking with this and then cast fling is clearly not so fun for your opponent. Then imagine having Whip of Erebos on the battlefield...

  • Butcher of the Horde Is a new addition to this deck. I believe it has a strong potential because of it's diversity. In the most cases you can pick an ability that helps you; to have vigilance, gain life or make an immediate attack.

  • Hellspark Elemental Is the thing between Vexing Devil and Ball Lightning . Sudden burn and unearth for low cost is great before you can cast the whip.

  • Blood Artist May seem a bit odd. Perhaps he is. Will probably leave this deck in favor of something better. Still quite nice for chump-blocking and extorting at each death.

  • Whip of Erebos Is the new-found friend. Very good for abusing all the poor little things in your graveyard. Lifelink is also not so bad since the fetches hurt quite a lot.

  • Shriekmaw a Terror in creature form, this is also a new addition to the deck. Hopefully we don't need much removal spells in the deck with this.

  • Path to Exile deals with the most things in modern without too much drawback. Any deck running white in modern should consider this card. Second to Lightning Bolt .

  • Lightning Bolt , one of the most well-known burn spells in mtg history and finally it found a place in this deck. I had Lightning Helix here previously but I removed it because I wanted a lower mana curve and I've not planned to depend on any life gain.

  • Spark Elemental is lightning bolt but in creature form, i.e. fast and effective.

  • Porphyry Nodes is a fast and very aggressive card that easily takes control over the battlefield, shutting down any opposition.

And the mana base. Fetch because fetch is a must-have. The same with shocks. Some basics if your opponent casts path and filters because you need to hardcast tricky things like Ball Lightning without problem.

Sideboard: Can't say much here. NEED A LOT of WORK to be good. Since sideboarding on tappedout isn't that easy I leave this field to be taken up to someone who can playtest this deck irl or on some other website.

Very thankful for all the response and feedback so far and every +1 is great!

I'm awesome, you are and this deck will be.
