Deck Description

I like the idea of some pretty weak humans, who worship a greater god, in this case Athreos, to become more powerful and thereby have an opportunity to beat the evil out there ;-)

How to Play

Basically, the idea how this deck runs is quite simple. Don't hesitate to sacrifice your humans to get some tokens by Xathrid Necromancer's ability. The main sac outlets here are Cartel Aristocrat, who gets evasion, and Attrition, which helps me to clear the board. Tragic Slip could also be mentioned, as it's not only a possibility to kill creatures, but also a way to kill my own stuff. Athreos helps me to play the creatures again and again. Blood Artist seems to be weak, but in this setting he somehow unfolds his real finesse :-)
Champion of the Parish grows stronger and stronger for every human I play and Ravenous Demon/Angelic Overseer are the finishers, if the sac/Blood Artist-engine doesn't work.

Any advices or critique on the deck is pretty welcome ;-)
