Pay to Play [Athreos Commander]

Commander / EDH

Kozzi


Sideboard


Maybeboard


A slow-build EDH deck that tries to run graveyard manipulation to eek out substantial mana advantage. This deck has a sacrifice theme that I may want to try and enhance

I have a philosophy whereby I build casually, play competitively. I'm not after the jankiest of combos or the most tuned list, just a list that'll provide a menacing threat and subsequent fun for the table.

Consequently, I have a few self-imposed build limitations:

  • This deck is about Athreos, and the nature of the afterlife. As far as possible I want to ground it in the Theros mythology, avoiding non-humanoid creatures as much as possible.

  • Variety is the spice of life and whilst it may be essential to response to dire threats, I don't want to tutor this deck into impotent submission. As such I've tried to limit tutoring where possible

  • As a challenge, I try to only run one copy of each card between all of my EDH decks.

Shadows of the Past: A more thematic option than tutoring in my opinion for this build.

Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip: Messing with death fits the theme well.

Tragic Arrogance: They won't have much standing if I already have Dictate of Erebos or Grave Pact in play

Hallowed Moonlight: Meta call
