A different take on my zoo list, switched out red and threw in black. I feel as though the souls and Gavony township will definitely do work against a lot of decks.

Athreos seems kind of bad. I'd rather play more wilt leaf lieges. Have you seen Jacob Wilson's deck from PT FRF? It's a bit outdated as the card to beat is siege rhino not Snapcaster Mage but it's definitely a good starting point.

Yes I've seen that list I had it for the longest time then it started losing. The key component in this deck is collected company so I need creatures to hit off of it thus rhino is out. I have 1 liege as a finishing anthem if i draw it. Athreos is perfect because he hits with the company and keeps my creatures coming unless they take the 3 therefore he works with what I'm trying to do here. He kind of serves as a nonstop rhino and he never goes away. Also, keeps my kitchen finks coming back again and again, then if they pay the three I still get the persist trigger off of them and they have to pay an additional 3.

Maybe I'm getting too cute here but what if you put in cartel aristocrat or viscera seer? You could try to make something like the abzan aristocrats deck that top 16d GP OKC

Another list I also ran. I didn't care much for it... I prefer just a straight beat down strategy with a bunch of creatures and good answers. Which is why I loved Jacob Wilsons list when it was good but it just stopped being good with all these crazy combo decks. I just want a deck that allows me to put early pressure on and keep on coming. My zoo list is great but gets wrecked with spot removal, so with souls the spot removal won't be as much of a problem.

Why not have 1-2 viscera seers for the info combo?

Because I'd have to switch the anafenzas out :/ lol

Which I could do. It wouldn't hurt having a combo/aggro deck.

I feel like the other Anafenza is better anyways

Was mistaken when you said the aristocrat deck so I'm going to build that next, that deck is sweet. Saw frank karsten play it on cfb and man it's awesome I love it, gonna try it out
