Cast a bunch of creatures that I want to kill, and try to wreck the board while making my opponents not want to let me have the creatures back. Winning optional.
Seems pretty good. Liliana of the veil may be cool for you since you plan on recycling so many cards anyway. Most people say she is not for Multiplayer EDH but I disagree since the more opponents their are the better the +1 is. Sorin, lord of innistrad may help since the emblems would do a good bit toward helping you finish people off.

Don't have her unfortunately. I thought about Sorin but don't know what I'd cut for him.
Yeah the list looks pretty tight, without ever having played with or against an athreos EDH deck I would say tainted aether seems kindof odd. I can see how it would wreck bounce effects and token decks but I could see it backfiring since you run a ton of creatures. You may find it hard to establish a board with it. Definitely seems good but it is something to think about. Shirei also looks kindof out of place, sure you have some really good creatures that go with it like blood artist but you don't have many targets for it. You may just be better off with unburial rites. Mother of runes is also one of my favorite white cards it goes in just about any white EDH deck I make.

The idea behind Tainted Aether is that I can play a dude with an ETB/LTB/die effect, sac them, and then get the Athreos trigger right away without effort. Combined with Grave Pact, I should be able to clear the board or slowly wipe their lands. That card is one of the main reasons I have Crucible in the deck. Shirei may not work, but I've got plenty of 1-power dudes, so I figured it was worth a shot.
