Description

Fear and behold the Great Church of Many, where (controlling) everything is possible and death is never final.

Cleric tribal deck centered around Orah.
The deck aims to have an answer for anything its opponents throw at it and enough damage-preventing and/or healing to make enough time to find those answers.

All help and suggestions much appreciated!

Strategy

1) Find card-draw (Grim Haruspex etc.) and start filling your hand/graveyard.
2) Slowly build a graveyard Toolbox of answers for everything your opponents threaten to end the game with.
3) Slow the game down with pillow-fort and healing to have enough time to find all the answers.
4) After estabilishing a healthy pallet of control options for literally anything meaningful your opponents want to do, win with one of the win-cons.

Win Conditions

A) Ritual of Life:
Come to the ritual -> Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Sanguine Bond
Contemplate your sins -> Vizkopa Confessor or Plunge into Darkness
Be redeemed -> Children of Korlis
(You can redeem yourself multiple times during one ritual, just recur Children of Korlis any number of times you want.)

B) Ritual of Death:
Get a chunky boy -> Taborax, Hope's Demise or Doubtless One
Sacrifice him -> Starlit Sanctum or (Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim/Disciple of Griselbrand + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose/Sanguine Bond)

C) Fleet of Angels and Demons:
Angels: Valkyrie Harbinger, Urbis Protector ...
Demons: Priest of the Blood Rite, Skirsdag High Priest ...

D) Have your opponents tremble in fear before the might of the Cleric kind and concede to your superiority!
Or maybe you have locked them out of having any fun while taking forever to find your win-condition and noone wants to play with you anymore...
