Deck Description

A fun little Cleric-themed lifegain/prevention build that I'm eager to test out. There's an assortment of clerics in here that are meant to gain you life early on and then prevent nearly all damage that comes your way once turns 5+ set in.

The win conditions are the ever-popular Test of Endurance, which should be pulled as the game slogs on and on, or a gigantic Doubtless One swinging in for lethal via protection provided by Eight-and-a-half-Tails. Granted, you can always grow a cleric to colossal proportions with Cradle of Vitality as well.

Landbind Ritual is ridiculous even only on turn 5 or 6, and Survival Cache is great to refill your hand, and will almost always be active for the draw clause.

Boon Reflection can get you into the triple-digits quickly, and Cradle of Vitality helps channel the deck's life gain into legitimate creature threats. Faith's Fetters helps knock out any problems that stand in your way while keeping in theme, as well.

In the sideboard is Idyllic Tutor if you find you're not hitting your necessary enchants as consistently, along with the rest of your Landbind Rituals and Boon Reflections. Runed Halo and Mother of Runes can set up a wicked protection suite as well, if you need it.

Deck discussion for Get a Life...Seriously

May I suggest pious kitsune instead of ancestor's prophet? It allows you to tap fewer clerics, and the life gain becomes unstoppable after enough turns. You would need to add another Eight-and-a-Half-Tails to complement. Also, one life per turn from recumbent bliss is nice, but faith's fetters is a better all-around stopper. Lastly, Mother of Runes is one of my favorite clerics to use in any deck of this type.

I totally forgot about Faith's Fetters! Thanks for the reminder! And Pious Kitsune does seem like a worthy inclusion, now that I know it exists, at least, along with Mother of Runes.
