Deck overview

This is a focused Orzhov Cleric tribal aristocrats deck helmed by Orah, Skyclave Hierophant. The primary game plan is to deploy a steady stream of Clerics, sacrifice them for value using outlets like Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and Phyrexian Altar, and exploit Orah's death-trigger recursion to chain smaller Clerics back onto the battlefield. The deck generates overwhelming incremental advantage through life-drain payoffs (Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, Marauding Blight-Priest, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose), massive card draw from Necropotence, and resilient recursion engines in the 99. It wins by grinding the entire table down through repeated sacrifice loops, draining life totals, or milling opponents out with Altar of Dementia.
