So this was a deck created with one idea in mind: Abusing Erebos's Titan .
Oh yes, as if titans aren't abusive enough.
Anyway, to take full advantage of this creature's abilities, we would need not only other strong creatures, but efficient removal, disruption, and buffers. Having such would consistently maintain Erebos's Titan's indestructibility and, if anything should happen to any of the opponent's dead creatures and Erebos's Titan, he can always come back for more.
Let's break this down, shall we?
Disruption:
Thoughtseize: Essentially Despise and Duress in one
Despise : This is probably the best card to open turn 1, knowing that you can assure Erebos's Titan entering the field with indestructible if your opponent can't drop a creature
Duress: Many aggro decks can fall behind if faced against specific counter cards and removal (i.e Silumgar's Scorn and Foul-Tongue Invocation ). Much like Despise, this is definitely something you'd want to see on turn 1 knowing it can aid you in advancing your plays safely.
Infinite Obliteration: Good way to take out that one key creature your opponent may have in their graveyard if you discarded it or somehow killed it, which in turn lets you reuse the Titan if he should get killed.
Beaters:
Bloodsoaked Champion (AKA Eren Yeager): A lovely turn 1 drop that floats.
Abbot of Keral Keep : A 2/1 that not only can be easily pumped, but has more value mid-to-lategame with its ETB ability.
Flamewake Phoenix (AKA "The Wings of Freedom"): Another quick poker who can come back for more when Titan's on board (or any creature you have that should become as strong as Titan)
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death : He literally brings back every other beater we just mentioned, not to mention he is a lot more flexible with blocking others.
Removal:
Fleshbag Marauder (AKA a generic titan): This is the main reason I play a significant amount of floaters in the form of Bloodsoaked and Flamewake. While my opponent loses something that could turn on indestructibility for the Titan, I really don't lose anything as my creatures will just come back.
Wild Slash : Very efficient burn card that's guaranteed to work if you have Titan on board.
Murderous Cut: Removers that can still leave us with mana are always a nice thing, especially considering how quickly this deck can pile up a delvable graveyard.
Buffers:
Temur Battle Rage: Much like with Crater's Claws, Titan makes this card a much stronger finisher than it already is through its formidable mode.
Titan's Strength: Because Erebos's Titan can't be a Titan without Titan's Strength. Lame joking aside, a card that can turn on formidable through other creatures while helping you get to your key cards is definitely something that should be seen as early as turn 2.
Final notes:
I didn't want to include any cards from the Theros block (except Thoughtseize and Temple of Malice, as those are very easy to replace), knowing that it will be rotated soon and it made this deck a lot more fun to build. That said, I hope you enjoy this deck as much as I did creating it! If you like controllable aggro, feel free to tweak this to your own liking, and don't forget to leave an upvote!
