Deck Description

**LOOKING FOR FEED BACK**

Athreos, God of Passage and Blood Artist drain them down, recurring Kami of False Hope save your life and buy you time. Sac outlets Cartel Aristocrat and Viscera Seer force them to pay 3 on a zero cost creature like Ornithopter otherwise you can infinitely sac for damage with Blood Artist .Immortal Servitude and Orzhov Charm bring those creature back. And if you feel like having fun, get them low enough and Force them to let you combo off with Arcbound Ravager and a zero cost creature such as Memnite .

How to Play

So this deck needs help. I just wanted to get the rough idea on paper.
There are many routes to take with the God of Passage. Obviously Blood Artist acts as a first step of pain and gain for you when destroying your own creatures. Athreos can really get to hurting late in the game.

Blood Artist on the field and chump with Ornithopter leads to two possible events
-You prevented damage and your opponent decides to take the 3 damage, 4 damage.
-You prevented damage, hit for one, and can replay a free chump blocker.

Servitude and Orzhov charm help get whatever creature they wanted dead back into the vicious cycle for them.

Arcbound Ravager can put them in a tough spot.
-Sac Ornithopter or Memnite to Ravager. It gets a 1/1 counter. They take 3.
-Sac Ornithopter or Memnite to Ravager. Replay. Get as many 1/1 counters as you want until they take 3.
Even if they kill ravager you should probably have a cheap creature to put those counters on.

Kami acts as a reoccurring "fog" that they either give back or you can get back with servitude or Charm.

Charm can protect your Athreos from any exile effects such as Decide, Banishing light, O'ring.

Sometimes you build up your board and need to deal with theres. Just Wrath. Your creatures are cheap enough to replay if they all go back to your hand, Athreos doesn't die. Or they take a ton of damage. If Blood Artist was on the field, they already did.

I love the idea of this deck and some of the things it can do, and the flexibility of play but I know it needs work. I also want help with sideboard.
