This is a casual aggro-control cleric deck with a defensive and slow tempo build. The deck is designed to establish a strong defense while gradually overwhelming your opponents.

• Optimal play order: Start by playing Luminarch Ascension on 2nd round and protect it behind Order of the Stars / Mother of Runes. By round 3, By turn 3, aim to have a Master Apothecary / Ghostly Prison to further strengthen your defense. Your goal is to survive until you can activate Luminarch Ascension and start generating angel tokens, which can help you close out the game by around turns 7-8.
• Alternative attacking options: Utilize Transcendent Master by making it unblockable with Mother of Runes / Faith's Shield. Additionally, Angelic Destiny can be used to enhance your clerics, making them larger and more threatening.
• Gennerationg Tempo: The deck's main objective is to disrupt opponents' strategies and slow down the tempo of the game. Fiend Hunter / Oblivion Ring serve this purpose by removing key threats from the board. Ghostly Prison eliminates aggro and token decks and buy's time, plus it generates the tempo you need. Orim's Chant is such an OP card (this is kind of a white Time Walk)! it locks down you opponent's hand and battle phase, but the best thing is that it gives a wonderfully sour face to your opponent! :D
• VS blue: Grand Abolisher is for counter sink. They either have to counter this, or sit on their thumbs until their next turn. He's also a removal target. He's going to be the first thing they want to get rid of so keep your eyes on and try to protect him 'cause he slows down your opponent's pace. An alternative for heavy counter decks is Cavern of Souls, only for creatures through.
• VS Board wipe: Sideboarding Eerie Interlude and Nevermore should be quite enough to help you recover from board wipes and further protect your board presence, and if they are not, Sun Titan could help.
• VS Discard decks: Against discard-heavy decks True Believer could be an answer (through you cant target yourself either), with the alternative of Leyline of Sanctity
These strategies and considerations provide more depth to the overall gameplay and can enhance your ability to control the pace of the game. Remember to adapt your tactics based on the specific matchups you encounter. Best of luck in your battles!
So, what do you think? :)
