B2 or B3 deck that is just having fun with Clerics in Orzhov colors. I want to make generating token clerics a bit easier with possible "Populate" mechanics
Commander:

Also, this is a proxy heavy deck but bracket 2 or low 3 at most

Updated Clerics deck

Have you considered [[orah, skyclave]] as a commander? Or are you specifically looking to make token clerics?

I was attempting to go harder into the tokens because it felt a little harder to get to work. Orah was a possible choice but I also wanted to get a cheap commander out on the field faster.

Ok, we can lean into tokens. Want to check too if they have to be cleric tokens, just cause there aren't a ton of them and other creatures could be more efficient. Gonna assume this is a proxy deck too.

Yep, anything is good to go

I am aiming for mostly cleric tokens but have a few other options and sacrifice fodder

Suggested cuts (not all are necessary, but they don't follow the lifegain>buff>drain with clerics plan as well:
Banner of kinship, cryptic gateway
Anointer priest, shadow rite priest, Alpharael Stonechosen, Firja
Renewed Solidarity, dictate of erebose
I can elaborate on these if you would like, will continue to add ons soon

Foul Rebirth 
Sorcery — Adventure
Sacrifice a non-Demon creature. If you do, create a 4/3 white and black Vampire Demon creature token with flying.

These are probably the other best BW populate cards
I can explain more if you'd like, but this is all for now.
Wish I could get back to this sooner, but things came up :/
Ooh [[reluctant role]] or [[the ozolith]] could be good too
spare mauve
if it is cleric in white black, there is probably a limit how much counters will go around esp with the black side of the deck. while the ozolith is a broken-crazy good card, a lot of its potential is lost in their colour combination. ability counters also doesnt stack well
looking at that archidekt list (idk if thats the right deck) there are less than 10 cards that cares about counters on creatures
[[$the ozolith]] is not worth that $buck unless you are hardcore loving that effect

I don't think budget matters here. But you right. Instead [[skullclamp]]

Artifact — Equipment
Equipped creature gets +1/-1.
Whenever equipped creature dies, draw two cards.

Mardu blacksmiths can distill the technology of any clan and make it their own. Whether or not they should is another question.

yeah even if you have a high budget, a $50 piece but you get less than a quarter on the value (besides the "inefficient" usage) i think there is a certain level of misdirected threat assessment for the table

Hey all! Thank you for the advice! I want to read it all now but I am in a two to three day power outage and haven’t been able to mess too much with communication devices.
I am planning on proxying anything that is too expensive that I do not have (My adhd impulse control needs to do that or I will just buy everything in this game)

Thank you, will look closely at these and was already noticing the weakness of these cards but was having trouble with the mental process of letting go of attack options for victory.

Funnily enough, I actually have that card from a friend so proxy or real that isn’t a money issue!

Thank you for helping me, it is hard for me to get a grip on a deck at this stage in construction

This one is really cool. I forgot how useful that could be in a life gain deck. Or maybe I never read it properly?

You are correct about oz making the player a target
I have one deck that uses it but also another player always uses it and is attacked big time.

+1 cleric token per turn :3
Ozolith is only good in dedicated counter decks, but yea... I wasn't really paying attention there lol

i think there is always the "hidden" side of the game where ... let say the table isnt all new players and have an idea of the game, the assumption is that each individual is somewhat decent and reasonable at deck building (cards make senses to a degree), and has invested a certain amount of time into the rules of the game, etc
having some "revealed" game plan -> completely hidden potential win out of nowhere -> revealing things that are irrelevant to the success of the deck, can all cause some form of reaction from the players
as a decade old commander player, long before GC list existed, i have never attempt to come close to getting a non-tutor GC card because they dont aline with my philosophy of the game . And the exception was only for the high power deck where i can get affordable powerhouse that doesnt feel like I broke the game without working for it
