9:04 technically this only counts 5 towards your total devotion count: Here are the rules from gatherer:4/26/2014: Your devotion to two colors is equal to the number of mana symbols that are the first color, the second color, or both colors among the mana costs of permanents you control. Specifically, a hybrid mana symbol counts only once toward your devotion to its two colors. For example, if the only nonland permanents you control are Pharika, God of Affliction and Golgari Guildmage (whose mana cost is B/GB/G), your devotion to black and green is four. It wouldn't matter much whether It's five or ten anyways. Once divinity of pride hits the battlefield it would make Athreos a creature (2+5 devotion)
I think I might run Blood Liturgist in my Mairsil, The pretender deck. Sac Mairsil and Liturgist to return Mairsil, and upon his etb exile Liturgist with a cage counter. Then anytime I play another creature I can tap Mairsil to sac them both, etc.
Since we are gonna be making the opponent sacrifice stuff with things like Torment of Hailfire, would it be good to include It That Betrays? Anything they sacrifice is now ours. Maybe a Killing Wave as well.
i built a shadow born atheros deck long time ago the best cards for it are edgewalker (makes apostles free), razaketh the foulblooded (so many tutors ), harvester of souls, and i use mirror entity as a plan b for combat if the aristocrat stratagy dosent work. i got all my apostles by trading an ulamog ceasless hunger for them when they were a dollar a peice. man there $5 now thats crazy O.o
if you happen to play games with five or more players consider putting a large extort package in your atheros deck . The life gain can get out of hand.
I'm impressed there's no mention of Edgewalker as virtually makes all Shadowborn Apostles cost 0 mana.
I think it is a glaring omission as Edgewalker is what makes the apostles run

Yeah, devotion is a little weird for me.
The creature recursion that Athreos offers is amazing! And the alternative "bolt" is nothing to sneer at either!
Whisper the blood lurgist is good. Sacrifice 2 creatures return a creature from the graveyard to the battlefield
Eric Madery I actually have a video coming out tomorrow about blood liturgist. Great card.
Voidmage Gamer that's the name yeah it's very underrated!!

what booster set would you prefer, to go along with Atheros

I know it's off-topic, but I would really like to return to Lorwyn. It's probably the plane I am most fond of as I have a lot of nice memories.
Muy buena idea, para hacer un commander con ese dios. Cuando haces un video para un commander de dinosaurios... Saludos

The problem appears when someone steals your athreos and you can't kill it
Took 5 and a half minutes to mention sac outlets. I run this in a teysa commander deck with a way to tutor it.
Okay stop it I just told you yesterday I was doing the collection of God's as my commanders
you act like 3 life is a lot in commander 😁😁
its not but try paying 3 life 26 times
