A decklist that's still very much under construction.

After I saw Athreos, God of Passage I REALLY wanted to put together an Orzhov deck of some kind. Cartel Aristocrat is one of my favorite WB cards in standard, so I was pretty excited that she could actually see some play with this guy being brought in. The goal is to play cheap(ish) creatures that either have an interesting board presence, or have "enters the battlefield" interactions. For example, play a Cartel Aristocrat followed up by an Athreos, God of Passage turn 3. On turn 4, drop Sin Collector and pick apart their hand, immediately killing off the Sin Collector with Cartel Aristocrat to swing in for 2 with protection from some color. The opponent has the option of losing 3 life on top of losing the card from Sin Collector, giving him more value, or sending him back to my hand, also giving him more value.

The deck is far from complete right now.

I've mostly just thrown in cards I thought would be fun. Haven't fine tuned the synergy yet. Taking recommendations for the sideboard as well!
