The Deck

Cleric tribal, focusing on lifegain. Some direct win-condition cards, however combat is often the way.

Strategy

Clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics clerics

But seriously:

• Use clerics to gain life
• Use sac outlets for value, as we can recur using Ravos, Soultender
• Use Tymna the Weaver's ability to draw into the good stuff, like more clerics!
• Win by reaching our win-con cards, such as Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose for big drainage, or Angel of Destiny for a quick kill
• If this doesn't work, swinging for face won't hurt, or getting enough life to stall out the game for face is also viable, tedious and annoying, but viable

Quick Note: Tymna & Ravos

These two are a great alternative pairing, allowing for good lifegain and recursion. They are also easy to put in, as it will only require minor card switching/cutting to do (keeping Ayli in the deck is a good move, she's still great for removal).

Update: These two are currently taking the helm, as Ayli was often not used as heavily as anticipated. may be switched back at a later date.
