Up-coming Gatecrash Clerics and my Cleric Deck

Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 18, 2013, 9:50 p.m. by drakendark

My favorite deck is my cleric deck: deck:clerics-who-summon-demons-and-zombies. With gatecrash coming out soon, I couldn't help but drool over some of the new cleric cards.

Specifically:

High Priest of Penance

Frontline Medic

Syndic of Tithes

But the question i would appreciate some advice on, is if any of them are really worth putting in the deck.

The "weak" links in the deck in my opinion are Urborg Justice and Inquisitor Exarch

And i'm currently considering replacing them with Doomed Necromancer and Grand Abolisher

Of the three gatecrash clerics i mentioned High Priest of Penance has the most appeal, followed by Frontline Medic which seems to have powerful potential. And Syndic of Tithes seems to have good synergy with the deck concept.

any comments about the new gatecrash clerics, the deck changes i'm thinking about, or on the deck itself are greatly appreciated.

She looked fun, and I definitely considered it when i saw it, simply for the cleric flavor it would add. What made me decide not to give it serious thought was that my mana curve is kind of low, and i'm only running 20 lands, which on occasion gives me problems, but usually i'm fine. If i put in Deathpact Angel in the deck, I'd want to be able to cast her, which means i would probably need to add more 4 lands to be able to get close to having 6 lands in play on a regular basis.

that's 4 more cards i'd have to cut, and already i feel like i'm going insane trying figure out what to replace or take out to fit other clerics i've recently come across, both old and ones that are coming out.
