Now the Zendikar-hype is for real this time! With all the new cards incoming, this is my take on a budget modern cleric deck.

I think the deck is pretty much straight forward. Go aggressive with your clerics, get value for Taborax, Hope's Demise by them dying and reanimate them with Doomed Necromancer, Drana, the Last Bloodchief, Orah, Skyclave Hierophant or Nullpriest of Oblivion for another round on the treadmill. The nice thing: you get life in the process from which Cleric of Life's Bond and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose profit. As usual in my decks you got two win options: drain your opponent with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose -which by the way combos quite nicely with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim if you got a big creature to sacrifice-, or you can bomb your enemy with a huge Taborax, Hope's Demise or Cleric of Life's Bond which he suddenly can't block due to Giver of Runes. To round up the mix Banisher Priest get's rid of any unpleasant threat you might face, while reanimating Archfiend's Vessel gives you a 5/5 flying demon-pet to play with... neat!

I hope you enjoy my deck and also as usual any good advice on improvements is always welcome!
