Standard forum

Athreos, God of Passage and Eater of Hope discuss.
Throw in Shadowborn Apostle and you might have something there.

I mean things like.. is it standard viable? What would be some other cards that could make this combo over the top?

Might as well throw in Xathrid Necromancer like what most Orzhov brewers are doing right now.

Eater of Hope is a little too over costed. I believe in Xathrid Necromancer + Athreos, God of Passage Orzhov humans. You can run efficient removal, board protection, and wrath suppression, especially with Athreos.

Yeah, the control decks will probably need to start running Rest in Peace to deal with Athreos in Orzhov Humans

Shadowborn apostles and atheros is pretty hilarious all by themselves. Search for a demon, and unless your opponent pays 18 life, do it again for 7 mana.

I just realized that rest in peace completely shuts down pharika... that's pathetic

It's cycling soon. I prefer Athreos in a midrange shell, instead of an aggro shell due to Bile Blight and Drown in Sorrow etc.

It's cute but I don't think it's good enough to crack the current standard meta. I am impressed with Athreos, God of Passage though.
