Deck Description

I just pulled a Westvale Abbey and after reading it fully, i had a epiphany. This would work well with Athreos the God of Passage. You would have Athreos in play and sac your Shadowborn Apostles for Westvale Abbey or Ob Nixilis and almost certainly keep your creatures. No one is going to take 15-18 damage at once! Need help to perfect this deck, thanks. NEED A SIDEBOARD!

How to Play

Play your lands as you would. Play Athreos asap and sacrifice your Shadowborn Apostles to Westvale Abbey or Ob Nixilis. Your opponent is not going to take the damage, so you keep all of them. Ob Nixilis in play keeps your opponents from searching decks and can be lethal from the buff ability he has from the sac of the Apostles.
Athreos = Main mechanic to this deck, helps keep your sacrificed creatures.
Ob Nixilis = Demon that can be used to keep you alive with no library searching and buff attacker/blocker.
Shadowborn Apostle = Main mechanic to this deck, works with Athreos/Westvale Abbey combo.
Xathrid Necromancer = Helps with attackers/blockers by creating 2/2 zombies each time you sac Shadowborn Apostle.
Immortal Servitude = back up to Athreos if not in play, grave fetch your Apostles.
Go For The Throat = obvious creature removal.
Path to Exile = Many uses, sac a Apostle and get a land, use on opponent for removal and if Athreos is in play you keep it or get 3 damage to opponent.
Lightning Greaves = got to protect Athreos when he is a creature and Ob when he is played or Necromancer if he is all you got.

O.K. first, this is a casual deck for now. Second, I know there is only one demon as this is a untested deck. Therefor it will be a work in progress until fine tuned. As for your useless comment, i feel the Apostles are the main part of the deck. They fetch your demon whether its one or more and with Athreos in play you can keep an unlimited supply of humans (chump blockers) or damage your opponent. Works for Westvale Abbey (Ormendahl) and Xathrid Necromancers zombies as well so not useless. If anything it needs more demons to help the cause. Thanks for your comment.

ok maybe they aren't useless, but i still suggest the chanpion as another one drop to come back. Esppecially if your opponent pays the three life witch may seem the bad descision, but in the long run it kills your creatures for good while you have no way to get them back and lowers your devotion until you have less than 7. Along with you may want some demons likeindulgent tormenter, witch also gives them the option to pay 3 life or sac a creature in order to prevent you from drawing an extra card, but i swear at some point they'll get scared and pay or sac. Additionally, tormentor helps draw the apostles or anything needed to creature athreos. And with Athreos a creature, it can't die and it helps if your other creatures are dead. Also if you have another finisher in there, like a demon that makes your enemies sac there creatures anyway, you can remove THEIR chump blockers for your own tiny attackers to finish them off.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I just need to figure what cards to remove and replace. Thank you for the suggestions.
