I am on a quest to build an EDH deck out of every color combination possible. That makes 31 decks. This is my Orzhov build, and this thing is PERSISTANT!

So the deck is an aggressive tribal deck boasting a healthy 26 Clerics, and tribal synergies to boot. The deck relies on you building your board a lot faster than your opponents, since most of your dudes are cheap, and you have access to some really sweet recursion, such as Ravos, Soultender or Marshal's Anthem. This makes board wipes almost always the least crippling to you, if you're not playing with a Karador or Meren player that is. So creatures with wipes stapled on to them are quiet good, since you can use them over and over again.

Since most of your little friends are weenies, the deck runs a good amount of Anthem type cards, to make even the smallest of duders to pack a punch. With cards like Behind the Scenes, True Conviction, Mirror Entity or Dictate of Heliod on the board, your weenies start seeming a lot less tiny.

And finally, the deck is running a lot of life gain. In a vacuum, gaining life isn't doing all that much, but with some payoff cards, that situation changes fast. Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Alhammarret's Archive, Well of Lost Dreams, Vizkopa Guildmage, Karlov of the Ghost Council and Sanguine Bond are all a lot more scary if you gain life.

The colours the deck is in provide soooo much good removal, so most creature strategies aren't going to be too scary when you're piloting Clerics. You can do all sorts of fun stuff, for example, if you have Eternity Vessel you can draw 15 cards off of Greed and just drop a land on the field, and essentially, lose no life.

If you have any suggestions, I'm all for it. I'd love to hear your thoughts of the deck.
