Deck discussion for Athreos, God of Mass Death

Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos and/or Martyr's Bond would probably help a lot cleaning up indestructible stuff you board wipes don't hit. If not those then I'd say one or two targeted exile effects like Unmake or Sever the Bloodline, otherwise Theros gods or stuff like Tajic or Avacyn could be a problem.

IMO you also need one or two ways to target enchantments. At leas where I play everyone is packing Leyline of the Void and Rest in Peace specifically to shut down Aethros decks, and if you playgroup isn't then it won't take long for them to start.

I personally would rather run Isolated Chapel (or Caves of Koilos) than Terramorphic Expanse. Bojuka Bog is always useful, too, as is Strip Mine (or Ghost Quarter if you're being cheap) to eat Mazes of Ith or other problem lands, and I like Thespian's Stage, because someone always has a cool and worth copying. I won more than one game copying someone else's Dark Depths for example.

Nice job on Do or Die, that's a vastly under-utilized card.

please when ever you can, comment some more on this deck so i can make it better before i attempt to collect the cards for this... i might even proxy some of my cards because my playgroup doesnt care about such things.

Of the cards I suggested all are under ten dollars, and most are under three. I think Caves of Koilos, Bojuka Bog, Ghost Quarter, Thespian's Stage, Unmake, Sever the Bloodline, and Dictate of Erebos are all under a dollar and Isolated Chapel and Martyr's Bond are under two.

exquisite blood would combo great with athreos and whip of erebos would be good
