Workaround (works for me) to get login screen back, switch from lightdm to gdm:
sudo systemctl disable lightdm
sudo systemctl stop lightdm
sudo systemctl enable gdm  #Seems to fail
sudo systemctl start gdm


h/t @judd for the tip on 
https://forum.antergos.com/topic/3000/unable-to-log-in-black-screen-with-cursor-where-lightdm-used-to-be/10
