Orzhov shell designed to compete with and showcase my two favorite cards - Athreos, God of Passage and Xathrid Necromancer! This deck puts the beats on control decks which currently flood my meta. It isn't bad against monsters either, with some versatile removal/disruption in Thoughtseize, Banishing Light and Orzhov Charm .

Sideboard gives us access to more hate for control Hero's Downfall Pithing Needle Sin Collector Erebos, God of the Dead -

No Monster decks, I didn't forget about you! Ultimate Price Blind Obedience

And our friends still playing Mono-Black Fiendslayer Paladin and Blood Baron of Vizkopa

Also would like to acquire 3 more Godless Shrine and 1 more Mana Confluence in place of basic swamps. Not being able to turn 2 Precinct Captain makes me sad.

PLEASE +1 if you like the concept! Comments are welcome
