Unholy Clerics - Old version

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

My primary deck, though currently under optimization (see my deck list). Fun Legacy casual on semi-budget.

Has answers to many types of threats. Starts fairly slow, but is manageable with the protective nature clerics have. Pestilence plays a big role in removal business with Daunting Defender and Battletide Alchemist, but the actual player damage comes from the clerics themselves.


Nemesis effects:
- Red / Black spells that circumvent the preventation effects ("can't be prevented" / "lose life").
(Added 2x True Believer to handle this)


Cards I know would good, but the deck is getting too expensive:
- 1x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth (replace a swamp, great for Pestilence)
- 1x Weathered Wayfarer (allows fetching of any land)

Mother of Runes is too expensive? >_>

She's like, 2-4 dollars. :x

I would have the spell bomb in the sideboard.

If you're having trouble with artifacts I suggest adding in Devout Chaplain.

Thanks for the input guys. Made some changes that seemed logical after adding Mother of Runes (~17.28$ :S) and Devout Chaplains. Managed to make space for Weathered Wayfarer and Cabal Executioner (good for attacking with Mother of Runes) as well.

Chaplains ability and Unmake (instead of Mortify) work quite well with Patriarch's Bidding too.
Removing Devoted Caretaker really seems to have an effect to how quickly I can push more clerics.

After some play testing with my group, this seems pretty solid. I like the flavor Gravestorm gives. It's either preparing Patriarch's Bidding or making card advantage.
