Athreos, God of Passage is a card that people were very excited for, one that seems quite powerful, but never seemed to find a home.
Enter khans.
Do you all think he will end up catching on? His colors match abzan and Mardu, but if I had to take a guess, I would place him in Mardu decks specifically paired with Butcher of the Horde as it seems like it would work quite well together. Anger of the Gods is obviously still very much a thing, but I think it might have a shot.
My Abzan deck that im working on have Athreos and it work very very well.
When these creatures are on the field with Athreos, they almost always say: pay 3 life or deal with it again
Mistcutter Hydra wouldnt miss a beat if it gets bounced back due to haste and it certainly wouldnt mind going to the grave
Siege Rhino becomes a difficult choice as the etb would just trigger again if it get bounced

Nice! Drain rhino would be pretty great, though I'm not sure how often they would let you have it back haha. It's etb effect is just great. But athreos does seen to fit super well thematically with abzan. Nothing says outlast and endure quite like pseudo-reanimation

So far, I never got it back -.-
Doesn't mean Unmake the Dead doesn't let me get it back :)

Agreed, I could see him in a creature heavy midrange build where you just don't want to let guys back onto the battlefield.
