Azoth2099 on ANCIENT DRAGON TEMPEST (KAALIA)

TheRevelator Yeah, I ended up finding space for Hoarding Broodlord and Restoration Angel by cutting Imperial Recruiter and Recruiter of the Guard for better flavor and synergy! Easy choice once I realized, although I would love to find room for the recruiters in the future.

Ashnod's Altar and Disciple of the Vault are both part of one of this deck's Razaketh lines in addition to their other utility, but I admittedly would not be running them otherwise. The steps are as follows:

1. Cheat Razaketh into play via Kaalia

2. Sac Kaalia to Tutor for Dockside

3. Sack Dockside to Tutor for Reanimate (or Animate Dead/Necromancy)

4. Reanimate + Sac Dockside to Tutor for Corpse Dance

5. Corpse Dance + Sac Dockside twice to Tutor for Altar and Disciple

6. Loop it up!

Or you can just go with the Razakats strat if the aforementioned plan goes to pot.

Heavily considering Shadow-Rite Priest as another cheap piece that can activate the winning lines by sacrificing Kaalia and taking her place in the 1st step, but it's lack of Haste is a real downside.

Pretty convoluted, I know lol

I have a few suggestions for clerics that may be helpful and have tried to keep them below the $1.00 mark to maintain your spirit of budget. I have tried to pick creatures that have an immediate impact or are not mana sinks so they don't compete with your commander for mana resources.

Taborax, Hope's Demise Cheap, flying, potential to grow and rewards you for sacrificing clerics.

Heliod's Pilgrim + Gift of Immortality Granted Gift is not really cheap but if the budget can handle it I think its worthwhile as it lets you get more uses out of your commander per a turn and is even better in multiplayer games.

Orah, Skyclave Hierophant This guy really is the partner your commander needs and there is no down sides to playing him.

Shadow-Rite Priest This guy is pretty solid, small buff to the tribe but a very useful black creature tutor I suggest grabbing Orah first.

Mikaeus, the Lunarch Solid beater if you have the mana or if you only add a couple of counters you can buff your army.

Moon-Blessed Cleric This is an in tribe tutor for enchantments, hard to beat that.

Glad you like the deck betomindslav, I am always willing to hear ideas to improve it. I am currently waiting on a shipment of new clerics to change the roster up a bit, although nothing with the deck warping power as Yawgmoth, Thran Physician has been printed, Shadow-Rite Priest and Evolved Sleeper are still looking particularly good as additions. With this last set coming out its probably about time to review the clergy and realign deck synergy to come into line with the changing cast.
