Clerics of the Dusk

Clerics of the Dusk is an Orzhov (white-black) Cleric tribal aristocrats/lifegain Commander deck. It wants to flood the board with Clerics, gain life repeatedly, and profit when creatures die, using sacrifice and reanimation to keep value flowing.

Key synergies revolve around Orah, Skyclave Hierophant, Edgewalker, and a dense Cleric package: cheap Clerics fuel cards like Elas il-Kor, Cleric of Life’s Bond, Righteous Valkyrie, Marauding Blight-Priest, and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose to turn life gain into life drain and pressure. Sac outlets like Viscera Seer and Carrion Feeder, plus payoffs like Rotlung Reanimator and Taborax, make deaths profitable, while Reanimate, Victimize, Living Death, Agadeem’s Awakening, and Unearth let the deck rebuild fast.

It usually wins by draining the table through repeated life gain/life loss triggers, grinding opponents out with recursive Cleric value, or
