Welcome my brother, to Karlov's Cathedral

Introduction

We have clerics (alive or not) to collect our tithes and make Karlov huge. Basically, this deck relies on Voltron/Lifegain.

Cards

Aetherflux Reservoir: This deck don't provide a bunch of life, but a little from many triggers... still good to politics and to buff Karlov. Prism Ring and Tablet of the Guilds are similar.

Ashes of the Abhorrent: Isn't that good, however, I often play against an aristocrat deck, so... yeah.

Ranger of Eos: The only tutor in the deck, very useful to search for: Soul Warden, Soulmender, Soul's Attendant, Mother of Runes, Thrull Parasite

Sunscorch Regent: This card is a beast, we are playing multiplayer here.

Wall of Reverence: Slow, but not bad at all. Can provide a good amount of life when Karlov is big.

Smothering Tithe: Flavorful and useful, just what I like.

Sanguine Bond: ...

Disciple of Bolas: Karlov will die, but for a good reason. Excellent draw.

Expedition Map: Take Rogue's Passage for evasion.

Whispersilk Cloak is also very good.

Sun Droplet: One trigger in each turn.

Patron of the Kitsune: Expensive, but worth. It works with each attacking creature, doesn't need to be in your control.

This deck has also has many extort options, they are all displayed above. Pontiff of Blight is the star here.

Finishers

Karlov of the Ghost Council: Of course.

Crested Sunmare: Horses, horses everywhere.

Ajani, Caller of the Pride: Evasion and double strike!!

Aetherflux Reservoir: (maybe)

Doubtful Choices/Missing cards

I explain below why some cards that aren't that good are in the deck.

Basilica Guards: Flavor

Syndic of Tithes: Flavor

Ankh of Mishra: Flavor

High Priest of Penance: Flavor

Vessel of Endless Rest: Flavor

That's it.

Also, I don't like infinite combos. So, no Exquisite Blood.

And I'm trying to be kind of budget here, I'll leave Archangel of Thune for another time.
