Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Athreos, God of Passage helms an Orzhov aristocrats/combo deck that wins by repeatedly killing its own creatures. The primary line is a sacrifice loop: Gravecrawler with a Zombie such as Carrion Feeder, a repeatable outlet such as Phyrexian Altar, and a death-trigger drainer such as Blood Artist. Secondary wins come from Mikaeus plus Triskelion or Reveillark/Karmic Guide recursion, often set up by Buried Alive and reanimation. Athreos taxes removal and returns creatures to hand, while Syr Konrad acts as a hidden commander that converts every graveyard trigger into damage. Fast, tutor-dense, and resilient, but the deck has almost no stack interaction and only one flexible noncreature answer.
