"She asks pointed questions of the dead who wait for Athreos, learning of life from those who are about to leave it."

My take on a stax deck with Athreos, God of Passage as the commander. If you like the deck, please +1, and if you have any suggestions, leave a comment below. Trying to avoid infinite sacrifice/re-animator combos in this deck as I already play them in my Teysa deck The Advokist's Instrument, so I'll be using the maybe board to list powerful cards that I don't feel like playing in this deck.
