Right now I have two thoughts:
1: Bw Aggro, featuring Athreos as a top end with a Constellation sub-theme for Grim Guardian, Brain Maggot, and Gnarled Scarhide, and Pain Seer for continual threats. Boon of Erebos and Gods Willing for protection when needed.
2: Bw Devotion, featuring Gray Merchants at the top end, with Sorin, Crux of Fate and Whip of Erebos.
I would love to hear your thoughts.
