Standard Orzhov Clerics playing B01 in the July 22 mtg arena ranked. Crossed into mythic at 93%, been having some problems since. If I had a few more of the D&D creature lands I think it could push into the ranked list. The trick is not to lay it too flat early so that boardwipes and spot removal don't kill you in the mid to late game. Keep mana for the draw advantage from Markov Purifier. Look at your opponents hand as soon as you can with Elite Spellbinder. Gain life and prosper.

Right now it is weak to strategies that depend on board wipes, needs to D&D lands to make up for that. 1x more Hive of the Eye Tyrant and 2—3x Cave of the Frost Dragon would fix those situations. I play on my phone so don't have any win rate stats, but it feels like over 75%.

A version of this might run better for best of 3, but I don't have any Silverquill Silencer or Curse of Silence for the sideboard.
