Making the switch over from mono black aggro to B/W with new Athreos god. Put it up on here for research and ability to playtest, since the new set hasn't launched yet. Went with splashes of red for Tymaret and Mogis.

Mogis puts pressure on opponents with either removal or puts them on the clock with damage. Cartel Aristrocrat(s) make for a great sac engine to trigger Athreos and put my opponents in a tough spot either letting me have things back or paying 3 life per body. tyramet also helps by adding redundant sac, midrange'y damage and recursion. If anything he is there for added devotion for Mogis. Sideboard is still under debate and will change according to my local meta.

I tried to go solid humans for the creature base so I can get the full use out of Xathrid Necromancer. Imposing Soverign (s) offer slight control for aggro fatties and flying.

It's yet to be seen what will come of this deck and my local meta since Nyx isn't out yet. But my local FNM usually consists of lots of U/W control, R/U/G devotion, R/B aggro or homebrew. I would love to get any ideas or thoughts from the community.
