Title: Atheros, how to use it?
Post by: Destore117 on April 12, 2014, 05:55:19 PM
Atheros God of Passage {1}{B}{W}
Legendary Enchantment creature-Mythic Rare
Indestructible
As long as your devotion to black and white is less than seven, Atheros is not a creature.
Whenever a creature you control dies, return it to your hand unless an opponent pays 3 life
5/4

What would be some good ways to utilize his ability? Obviously ETB trigger creatures, but what would be the best ones to put in a deck focused around him?

I think {Shadowborn Apostle}s could be a thing with him. Either you continue to drop demons all the time, or they take 18. Also, with {Shadowborn Demon}, when you sac, you can just pull the guy back.

...  No, because then it's impossible to go infinite unless your opponent is an idiot and keeps taking 3.
Some might run him though, either they take 3 or you get it back, and many of their creatures are literally made to die.

 {Spark Trooper} could be fun or similar cards. Also isn't there an enchantment that doesn't allow your opponents to pay life?

 {Angel of Jubilation} was thinking this. Opponents can't pay life so you get the card back in hand. Expensive combo but could be fun. For. Some reason thought it was an enchantment.

Yes. But your opponents can't pay the 3 life so you guarantee to get your creature back to your hand.
