From the pyres emerge the fallen clerics! And they're mad. Go up in CMC with pyre, go down in CMC with Orah. Interrupt your opponent with Spellbinder and drain them down with your army of fallen clerics, or your returned Vessels. 18.09.21

Small adjustment update. A streamer tried to make this deck popular in standard, but it was far too weak. This decks graveyard needs to be full, but without relying on too much discard. As I already included in my sideboard, Rite of Oblivion was a really strong contender. So it's in now. 12.11.21

Update: Rework, I still looooooooooooooooove 10 hours turns with this, going back and forth, but I've learned a ton since returning to Magic in 21. Here's the current version for Arena. We can make it work, babe. 29.01.25
