Athora decks play the "Protect the Castle" style of deck, and has a lot of soul, making it hard to fully break.

Burn is a big issue because, while Athora doesnt have huge burn damage numbers, it burns for 1 point an obscene amount of times. Were you to stumble into an Overturn Athora on a Lost turn, you will take 4 to 6 damage depending on if you have the item or not, and then they can burn away the rest of your lifepoints with Direct Dynamic Diamond Overhead, which burns for 2 damage + X times you attacked Athora this turn.

And yeah, they dont take effect damage either, so Penetrate doesnt work on Athora.
