These are all prime picks. I did take most of them into consideration, my card knowledge has improved a lot since my early days as deckbuilder. Orzhov Charm was completely off my radar as well, and is going right into my list. I've updated the deck and will be testing with Soul Partition first. If that doesn't fix this decks' weakness, I'll implement Charm and then Oath.

If you are looking for instants to take down hasters, I might recommend Mortify, Orzhov Charm, Anguished Unmaking, and Hero's Downfall.

There's also the tried and true ones like, Fatal Push, Portable Hole, and Murderous Rider.

I like the list. It has real potential.

I'm not a fan of doomed and null priest unless they are cheating out big creatures - the only big cleric I can think of is Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. Resurrecting multiple other clerics can be done in easier, less disruptable ways.

Many of the most powerful sideboard cards (mainboardable in many metas) are clerics, and that means that with 75 cards including sideboard, something that can really kick butt in a metagame is out there.

The option to ressurect Children of Korlis, Containment Priest, Ethersworn Canonist, Fiend Hunter, Grand Abolisher, Leonin Arbiter, Auriok Champion, Leonin Relic-Warder, Remorseful Cleric, Sanctifier en-Vec, Sin Collector - there are too many great clerics for this not to become something. Even stuff like Orzhov Pontiff and True Believer has seen sideboard play in the kind of creature-led deck it would be.

You have access to all the tools from soul sisters, with Soul Warden also getting Marauding Blight-Priest as another piece. Vizier of Remedies threatens a combo line. Efficient 1 drops means that tools like Orzhov Charm, Ranger-Captain of Eos and Proclamation of Rebirth look a lot better. Order of Whiteclay and oddities like Hanweir Militia Captain  Flip it offer more options than you'd expect, and it only takes one good interaction with them to turn them into powerhouse engines.

All of that before looking at w/b getting the best removal in the game means that some variant of this list will make a dent in a major tournament, once someone figures it out.

Hero of Precinct One and Tome of the Guildpact are some decent cards that care about multicolored without being so themselves. Orzhov picks could be Pillar of the Paruns , Beckon Apparition , Blood Baron of Vizkopa , Nightsky Mimic , Kaya's Guile , Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim , Karlov of the Ghost Council , Resolute Rider , Seraph of the Scales , or Vizkopa Guildmage . I tried to pick card suggestions that fit in with either the multicolored or the lifegain plans. Popular inclusions in more tempo or aggro focused Mimic/Divinity builds include Castigate , Orzhov Charm , Mourning Thrull , Cartel Aristocrat , Sin Collector , and Gift of Orzhova . Combine the two and you might get some value out of a shell of Ajani's Pridemate , Heliod, Sun-Crowned , Light of Promise , Wall of Limbs , and Archangel of Thune .

Anyway, now that I've probably named every black and white card ever printed, do let me know if you have questions. Good luck!

Hi there! Sorry I am late to this, I was on a small vacation and was away from technology. Since it was already pointed out, I won't address the casting speeds on the cards, however, I think you may have just argued for adding Opt into the main over Serum Visions. A decent part of your argument for Orzhov Charm was the flexibility from the modal card AND that instant speed allows you to be more flexible overall. Here's my thoughts on it:

Serum Visions--> Card advantage engine and ability to setup. Provides a random card (guaranteed) with setup for two future turns (potentially). Scrying is often considered to be worth 1/2 a card draw, so, in theory you are drawing 2 cards from Serum Visions. Compare that to Opt, you are only losing half a card overall, but you gain both flexibility in SPEED of the spell and the knowledge of the card you are drawing (or knowledge of a card you are NOT drawing). On top of this, the sorceries are very important to this list do not line up well with Serum Visions... hand hate is much more important on turns 1 or 2 then card draw.

While it is still most likely a preference choice, your previous comment makes it sound as though you actually support opt more!

Woops!

For some reason I thought of Unearth as an instant... Regardless, my point still stands true. I believe that for the cost Orzhov Charm provides more value with the amount of cheeky plays you can do with it.

Avatar of Hope is an interesting potential addition. It could definitely be a sideboard consideration against something like Elves, Goblins, or Affinity.

Regardless, I like the current spot the deck is in. On my end, I'm not interested in revamping the the deck at all. :)

Just sharing so people can take a look and see an unorthodox/interesting build!

Unearth is a sorcery, Orzhov Charm is an instant, what were you trying to say?




Also consiedring the colors you play, and the speed you aim to close on low, you might want to test Avatar of Hope, this is one of the few decks with reasonable chances to get it discounted early.

And its probably the best blocker the deck can hope for.
