Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Cleric tribal aristocrats strategy commanded by Orah, Skyclave Hierophant. The primary game plan revolves around deploying a curved hierarchy of Clerics and using sacrifice outlets like Ashnod's Altar, Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician to repeatedly trigger Orah's step-down recursion. By sacrificing high-cost Clerics to recur lower-cost ones, the deck generates compounding card advantage through Taborax, Hope's Demise, enforces board control with Grave Pact, and systematically drains opponent life totals via Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim and Suture Priest. The deck features robust protection in Mother of Runes and Selfless Spirit, and rebounds rapidly from board wipes using mass reanimation spells such as Living Death and Rally the Ancestors. Its main limitations stem from a lean 30-land base and heavy reliance on the graveyard, leaving it vulnerable to replacement-effect exile hate and instant-speed graveyard interaction.
