B/W Idea?

Standard forum

Idk why but for some reason this deck idea is stuck in my head. The deck involves Immortal Servitude and Athreos, God of Passage . This basically makes all of your creatures unkillable. You could run a ton of two drops like Pack Rat Cartel Aristocrat etc. Does anyone have any ideas for this

Currently I think the best place for Athreos, God of Passage is Orzhov Humans. Running Xathrid Necromancer you either get a zombie and deal three damage to your opponent or get your creature back. Then running cards like Cartel Aristocrat you force your opponent to make those decisions while getting some damage through, all the while using very efficient human creatures. Immortal Servitude is an option to be run, I personally run it in the sideboard. Here is my deck list for a reference.

If you're going to go with Immortal Servitude and Athreos, God of Passage , look at a b/w weenie build. Use cards like Precinct Captain , and Boros Elite to put pressure on people. And supplement your aggressive creatures with hand disruption, and efficient removal spells. I'd only run Immortal Servitude as a 2 of. Since it's only useful in a few specific situations.

I'd go mono-one drops. Here's a rough draft:

The Johnny in me wants to throw in some Purphoros, God of the Forge or maybe Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or something to get some value when you Immortal Servitude . Just Imagine this: You have 10 one drops out, a Purphoros, God of the Forge , and a Cartel Aristocrat . You sacrifice each one drop, cast Immortal Servitude for 1, bring everything back, get 10 Purphoros triggers, win.

My johnny bone tingled when I saw athreos.

It caused me to actually build bogbrew witch into a deck.

Which Bitch is Witch?

Sin Collector is my proxy for athreos as untap doesnt have him and I've had the damndest time trying to link him.

It plays okay but it's definitely a budget build for kitchen table.

Yeah this whole idea was for a casual standard idea. My play group plays standard for fun but we make a rule that their are no top tier decks like Mono B Devo etc. Thanks for the input everyone!
