$0.27
Legendary Creature — Kor Cleric

Orzhov Cleric aristocrats where each dying Cleric brings back a cheaper one, gaining life and draining the table along the way.

Orah is a 3/3 lifelinker for four. Whenever Orah or another Cleric you control dies, you return a Cleric card with lesser mana value from your graveyard to the battlefield. That makes every sacrifice a trade up: a three-drop Cleric dying brings back a two-drop, which can die and bring back a one-drop. The deck plays a curve of Clerics, sacrifice outlets and death payoffs, and uses the chain to replay enter-the-battlefield effects over and over.
In the recorded games, the deck played as a steady grind. Soul Warden and Righteous Valkyrie gained life as Clerics came back, and Zulaport Cutthroat turned the deaths into drain. Edgewalker made Clerics cheaper, and Dark Supplicant fetched Scion of Darkness. Cavern of Souls naming Cleric kept key creatures from being countered. The life gain helped it stabilize against early pressure and stretch games out. It had few recorded games, so the evidence is thin, but the pattern was incremental value rather than a fast kill.
