this is a version of an old favorite of mine. Clerics are alot of fun to play. If you haven't seen this combo before, the way to trigger is to have Daru Spiritualist and Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim or Disciple of Griselbrand in-play when you play Lightning Greaves , then equip the Greaves between two other clerics a million times, then sac the creature using Pilgrim/Disciple and gain a bunch of life. I replaced some copies of Starlit Sanctum with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim and Disciple of Griselbrand , but continuously play around with adding one copy back in. It depends on how you want the Mana balancing to play out. When I have starlit sanctum in the deck, I've added copies of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth so those lands produce black mana when needed.

Daru Spiritualist + Lightning Greaves + Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim

OR

Daru Spiritualist + Lightning Greaves + Disciple of Griselbrand

The combo shown below will keep creatures on your side of the board while you steal life.

Having Doomed Necromancer will ensure if you have lost a creature, you can get that cleric back when you need to go infinite. You can epuo

Make sure you target a creature with Mother of Runes before equipping Lightning Greaves , the shroud ability is great when you need to protect your clerics. While reading rules explanations, you cannot equip at sorcery speed to protect against a targeted instant spell or ability, Mother of Runes ability can be used in response to an instant speed spell or ability.

I've chosen to include Night's Whisper as a form of acceleration. Another consideration for an accelerant would be Dark Ritual . Either of these cards would speed things up considerably.

I'll also state that these are the cards listed which I actually own and enjoy test drawing hands with. If you have read this far, thank you. I don't want to spend the money right now on copies of Academy Rector or Enlightened Tutor .

If this wasn't listed for legacy, I would add in Demonic Tutor which I have.

Even if Test of Endurance becomes comprised after you gain a billion life, you can target important non-land permanents with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim while you beat them down with zombie tokens.

I'll be adding Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose after m21 drops

Updates Add

I've made additions and explanations have been reflected in the main deck deceptions. I haven't seen any new cards since Tarkir block, so while searching for new Commander spells I came across Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim. I also have an urge to replace a few things to throw in Dark Supplicant + Scion of Darkness to be spiteful.
