This is my take on the cleric tribe in EDH. The main focus of the deck is to gain a lot of life while diminishing your opponents' life with the primary combination of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Karma or Stern Judge. Of course, you could always go cleric beatdown, and there are some fickle, but effective, combos within the deck. The combos of the deck rely heavily on Children of Korlis or Vizkopa Guildmage/Sanguine Bond. First combo is:

Aetherflux Reservoir + Children of Korlis to potentially kill 2 players if you are above 50 life.

Though this combo relies on a lot of external factors, gaining life in this deck isn't hard, so meeting that 51 minimum shouldn't be too difficult. Additionally, it relies on two cards. Plus if you activate Vizkopa Guildmage or control Sanguine Bond you can easily kill the whole board.

Second Combo is similar, but requires Vizkopa Guildmage/Sanguine Bond if you want kill:

Children of Korlis + Necropotence and Vizkopa Guildmage/Sanguine Bond can give as many cards as you have life, and probably kill the board.

Finally, people often as why not run Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim instead for the commander, and the answer is simply that she does not work well as a commander for the tribe. The deck is very permanent based, so sacrificing clerics is very much off game plan. Furthermore, Tymna the Weaver/Ravos, Soultender provides: draw, recursion, life gain, anthem, and evasion, all while giving you two clerics in hand at any point of the game.

If you like the deck share it! I'm not really looking for suggestions for the deck at the moment, but mostly just trying to share a different take on tribal in the format I love.
