Legendary Creature — Kor Cleric
Lifelink Whenever Orah or another Cleric you control dies, return target Cleric card with lesser mana value from your graveyard to the battlefield.
“Cleric recursion engine; sac Clerics for repeatable value and drain.”
Orah, Skyclave Hierophant is a recursion engine built around trading Clerics for value. Every time a Cleric dies—whether it's Orah itself or a utility creature—you're tutoring a cheaper Cleric back from your graveyard for free. This creates a grindy, repeatable advantage that lets you cycle through your deck, fill the graveyard strategically, and build a critical mass of Clerics on the battlefield. The lifelink helps you stay healthy while you're setting up your value chain.
Your gameplan revolves around stacking cheap Clerics with useful effects (card draw, tutors, removal, token generation) and saccing them repeatedly to extract maximum value. You'll want sacrifice outlets to trigger Orah's ability on your own terms, and a secondary plan that turns all that Cleric activity into a lethal game plan—either through token generation, drain effects, or simply overwhelming the board. The deck naturally becomes a midrange value engine that grinds opponents out over time.

Use affordable Clerics like Village Rites and Viscera Seer instead of pricey tutors; Zulaport Cutthroat and Basalt Monolith substitute for premium drain/sac outlets.
