A good deck doesn't need tons of kille-combos and flashy writing. It needs to work! This deck works.

Just follow this rule: Play Clerics, pump them up, allow them to get through, avoid trouble, win the game.

What works well:

• Ravos, Soultender + creatures that have effects when either sacrificed or back on the field, such as Benevolent Bodyguard / Selfless Spirit / Sin Collector / Entomber Exarch / Sanctum Guardian (!) or War Priest of Thune

• Tymna the Weaver + anybody hard/impossible to block such as Beloved Chaplain / Scion of Darkness / Soltari Visionary / Cover of Darkness / Flickering Ward / Unquestioned Authority / Mother of Runes --> draw an extra card every round!

• Pump'em up with Ravos and many others such as: Adaptive Automaton / Cathars' Crusade / Marshal's Anthem / Caged Sun / Door of Destinies (!) / Konda's Banner / Leonin Sun Standard / Obelisk of Urd / Spear of Heliod --> create a strong army in no time!

• Use evasion/protection tactics to build your army: Battletide Alchemist / Benevolent Bodyguard / Eight-and-a-Half-Tails / Frontline Medic / Grand Abolisher / Leonin Abunas / Master Apothecary / Mother of Runes / Selfless Spirit / Ghostly Prison / Sanctum Guardian etc.

• Besides Tymna draw LOTS more cards to be prepared for anything: Bygone Bishop / Mentor of the Meek / Underworld Connections / Decree of Pain / Overwhelming Forces / Mask of Memory / Staff of Nin and Mind's Eye

• Finally, using Ravo's second ability, make the most out of your or your opponents graveyard and dying ones: Rotlung Reanimator / Scion of Darkness / Starlit Sanctum / Skirsdag Flayer / Sanctum Guardian (!) and Marshal's Anthem
