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.

I used to have a deck with the same combo, it's very cool and simple to get. A card that could work well is Worthy Cause or Shuko. +1

Thank you very much. I used to play this deck around getting the Scion in play. I haven't played casual vintage in a long time and was excited when I discovered disciple of grislebrand . Other cards I want for the deck are Enlightened Tutor and Marsh Flats. The side board is pretty random.

Hi Se7enfoot... Thanks for your comment on my B/W Clerics deck.

I have several suggestions for your deck, but before I present to you let me first address your comment.

Although your deck is B/W like the one you commented on, they meant to be different. Yours is a hybrid between life-gain deck and an aggro deck. Mine is meant to be exclusively aggro.

I have a hybrid life-gain aggro cleric deck, white the Daru Spiritualist and Shuko combo, but it is mono-white - have a look : http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/protection-clerics/?cb=1532856807.

Now, about my suggestions:

@venturub thank you for the constructive comments. Some of my decks have strayed from the overall theme. I once felt that having singleton inclusions of powerful/useful cards would make a difference in some decks, but those cause a player to remove copies of much needed cards. I have made some significant changes while researching the Gatherer database and those changes are now implemented.

@Se7enfoot I understand but, Woh, you made a lot of changes in your deck. For the better, although no more Scion of Darkness!

I still have three suggestions:

1) Instead of Lightning Greaves, Shaman en-Kor. Why? Three reasons. Firstly, the casting cost is the same, that is 2. Secondly, Shaman en-Kor ability can be activated as an instant (also during the turn of your opppnent) whereas Lightning Greaves can only be equiped as a sorcery (during your turn only). Thus, if you activate the Shaman ability to boost a cleric toughness with Daru Spiritualist it can serve a defense guy against big monsters, before you sacrifice it for big life. One common mistake, is to think that the Shaman en-Kor ability can not be activated unless it receives damage. That it is not the truth: the Shaman can target a cleric, regardless of whether it received damage: "You can use this ability as much as you want prior to damage being dealt" - . Also, the shaman can redirect damage to itself: "It can redirect damage to itself". Third reason: the Shaman is a Cleric, unlike the Lightning Greaves.

2) Starlit Sanctum instead of Disciple of Griselbrand. Why? Disciple of Griselbrand costs 3 in order for you to use the ability: 2 to cast the creature, plus 1 to use its ability. Starlit Sanctum costs 1. Plus, Starlit Sanctum lets you choose between gaining life or taking life from your opponent, thus complementing the damage of Cabal Archon.

3) You should add one more Test of Endurance. Why? If yours gets destroyed, you will get no second chance to use it again. The more so when you have no Devoted Caretaker or Eight-and-a-Half-Tails in your deck to protect it.

Ah, check my Defense Clerics deck : https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/defense-clerics/. Be sure to read well the description. :)

I'm going to find copies of Shaman en-Kor, that's a great suggestion. The instant speed ability versus sorcery speed ability is superior and keys the financial cost down.
