I love the flavor win of this cult of clerics that secretly worships a monstrous horror slug as their deity. You can just imagine the Shadow-Rite screaming something along the lines of "BLESS US WITH YOUR PRESENCE, GREAT UNCLEAN ONE!" at 11:00 Also, that casual Amalia nuke coming in clutch against the tokens deck
The original "surprise slugs" cleric deck was interesting so I was keen to see the upgrades! Good to see a second payoff now. I was actually considering dreadfeast demon as a second pay off in your original deck.
Luka, you're really the epitome of playing to your outs; one of your strengths for sure. You're a magician. Some situations I think, there's no way he gets out of this. And 90% you DO. that's also the youtuber thing, but still, very impressive. Fun to watch, and educational ofc
Made a clerics deck (cardboard) many years ago that "drafted" a demon... it was titled "Say Your Prayers! Hope (wildcards permitting) to give this sacred brew a try! Cheers!
11:34 Opponent should win this game. At 9:47 they accidentally made their Graveyard Trespasser trigger fizzle by forgetting to decline the target on Restless Cottage. Pay attention to your triggers people.
You mention pretty early on flashing ward onto a creature in response to removal, and I just wanted to give a quick mention that that's not how Ward works. Ward triggers when the spell is cast, so by the time you know you need it, it's too late to flash it in.
Toxi slug boy will be my favorite creature as long as its in standard. I don't care if it's actually good. It's so damn fun and cool. I feel like it's overkill but the sludge monster synergizes with it well but usually irrelevant even if its extra cool
and with cards from Historic you can make Toxrill and the slug horror tokens into honorary clerics! this wouldn't do a lot, but it's late and I think it's funny
It's a nice deck but in the gameplay you didn't face any sweeper control build it seems because while the deck seems fun it looks like it would end flatlined by any control sweeper based deck
So I'd just like to throw out the idea of doing a zombies deck with Roaming Throne, if you'd be willing to take a request. Bonus points, Necroduality copies Zombies on ETB and not cast, so Throne on Zombie makes 2 thrones and gets really silly really quickly.
Match 4 it might have been better to name Horror for Throne- no more clerics with triggered abilities in hand, and Toxrill coming up soon- probably putting all your eggs in one basket, but wouldn't it have been fun to put two slime counters per turn, and two slugs per kill?
Sleeper is too mana hungry when you want to build a board. It's honestly an overplayed card for how easily you are punished for dumping 4 mana into it for a 3/3, let alone 7 to draw 1 card. And if you don't spend any mana on it it's a vanilla 1/1. I think it's a bad card period but it sure does see a lot of play. It's a win more card and not exactly synergistic here as it's best in a tempo/control shell. There's not really a play pattern for this deck where I would want it on turn 1 and after that there is better things to do with your mana.
It's at its best when you are playing a deck with a decently fast clock against a slower deck, but control is relatively rare in best of 1 so I can understand why people might not bother with it there. I would probably run like 2 in the maindeck with the other 2 sideboard in a generic Best of 3 white creature deck.
these decks are so useless, try going up against one control with a sunfall or depopulate an crap decks like this have no chance every tit in this game has about 10 -15 removal spells in every deck its so bad the meta
Wtf are you smoking? Control are not meta right now, and against aggro this deck have a very good chance to win and most importantly it's a very fun deck to play.
Love how LegendVD casually pulls off Amalia's ult when he forgets it even exists
Ah, the Amalia ultimate was glorious! It would definitely deserve an animation in old arena style
@@merke323 That's why I like playing the historic modes. The animations is the best reason to play Arena sometimes.
LVD, I always appreciate the humorous text that you include with the MVC highlight at the end.

Easy there, Typhus.
Clerics have been maybe my favorite creature type since Onslaught. Glad to see them get love wherever they can find it ❤
Mine too! Big Cleric Love going out!
I thought I was alone in that
i am still playing legends cleric deck with pyre of heroes
Orah skyclave is by far my favorite tribal commander
The original "surprise slugs" cleric deck was interesting so I was keen to see the upgrades! Good to see a second payoff now. I was actually considering dreadfeast demon as a second pay off in your original deck.
Dreadfeast was a consideration, won't be great vs sweepers but can be another nice target for creature decks besides Toxrill.
This was one of my all time favourite of your decks. Shadow Rite Priest into Toxrill is so much fun when it works
The first match was insanely close!!!!! Awesome job man!
Your comment fits your pfp so well
All your decks are great but this is especially spicy. Keep it up!
This deck is so much fun to play! And also very good in the current meta!
Luka, you're really the epitome of playing to your outs; one of your strengths for sure. You're a magician. Some situations I think, there's no way he gets out of this. And 90% you DO. that's also the youtuber thing, but still, very impressive. Fun to watch, and educational ofc
thats the first Amalia ultimate ive seen! cool stuff
Game 2 was great. It's really unfortunate that Amalia isn't a Cleric as well- a lot of the ixalan vampires are.
the first game had me doubting the deck but that second one WOW
Made a clerics deck (cardboard) many years ago that "drafted" a demon... it was titled "Say Your Prayers! Hope (wildcards permitting) to give this sacred brew a try! Cheers!
"Toxrill, leading to the slime suprise."
AY YO!? 👀😂💀
Seems like a really fun deck to pilot, thank you for the great video LVD!
26:10 LIFEGAIN MACHINE GUN!!!!
Awesome as always Mr. LegendVd
“Oh yes, this is going to be glorious”!
“Chair-man” of the deck 😂
Fun deck! Was looking for a cool spot for roaming throne and this feels like the move!
Great video as always!
Nice!! You read my request for a cleric deck!! Amazing!!
I love that second game you accidently won by the ultimate.
The second match LMAOOOOO
Nevemind, third match was also a blast
Love the thumbnail
Insane deck just love cleric archetype. Roaming throne do the job. I think you shoud think to add 2 copies of annex sentry. Cheers !
The 3-drop slot is heavily contested in this archetype but Sentry can be very nice in some matchups!
11:34 Opponent should win this game. At 9:47 they accidentally made their Graveyard Trespasser trigger fizzle by forgetting to decline the target on Restless Cottage. Pay attention to your triggers people.

Good point!
It is very rare to see lvd actually forgets a card's ability, expecially interesting when he is the one playing it
Toxi slug boy will be my favorite creature as long as its in standard. I don't care if it's actually good. It's so damn fun and cool.
I feel like it's overkill but the sludge monster synergizes with it well but usually irrelevant even if its extra cool
I run him in table edh and sludge monster is an absolute favorite in that deck
What a cool video, nice deck :)
Looks nasty, quality deck building sir.
This deck is slimier than a Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards xD
21:32 THE PINGER MACHINE GUN IS BACK MUHAHAHAHA xD
and with cards from Historic you can make Toxrill and the slug horror tokens into honorary clerics! this wouldn't do a lot, but it's late and I think it's funny
I play more red white but Toxrill's neat!
It's a nice deck but in the gameplay you didn't face any sweeper control build it seems because while the deck seems fun it looks like it would end flatlined by any control sweeper based deck
I totally forgot about Shadow-Rite Priest! I should have looked more into the cleric cards for Cavern of Souls tribal decks 🤦
Happy for a new cool video
I can't wait to play this, clerics is one of my favorite tribes to play.
Really cool deck, feels pretty streamlined but very flexible.
No Preachers of the Schim?
Definitely an option but didn’t have enough room at 3 mana.
Amalia i love❤
So I'd just like to throw out the idea of doing a zombies deck with Roaming Throne, if you'd be willing to take a request.
Bonus points, Necroduality copies Zombies on ETB and not cast, so Throne on Zombie makes 2 thrones and gets really silly really quickly.
Raffines tower to help activate Toxrill’s ability? Or too slow?
Want to avoid tapped lands if possible.
Match 4 it might have been better to name Horror for Throne- no more clerics with triggered abilities in hand, and Toxrill coming up soon- probably putting all your eggs in one basket, but wouldn't it have been fun to put two slime counters per turn, and two slugs per kill?
Can you revive one of your previous combo deck for a Boros Ill-Tempered Loner combo with Roaming Throne?
I hope you didn't hurt Toxrill's feelings (feelers?) with that video title. They're just misunderstood.
In all fairness, they are, literally, a Horror. So they kinda had it coming.
is shadow-rite priest supposed to have a massive head, or am i looking at it wrong?
He's gigabrained
it's slime time boys
wow
woot BO3! do you play it?
Man.
what are you doing in gold !?!
Season just reset and rank is mostly irrelevant.
I've seen enough hentai to know how this deck turns out
Not a fan of traveling minister
Not really much better at the 1 spot. Ollenbock escort ok with spirit but minister probably better in most cases
yeah, I know you lose out on life gain but I would go with Evolved Sleeper instead.
Sleeper is too mana hungry when you want to build a board. It's honestly an overplayed card for how easily you are punished for dumping 4 mana into it for a 3/3, let alone 7 to draw 1 card. And if you don't spend any mana on it it's a vanilla 1/1. I think it's a bad card period but it sure does see a lot of play. It's a win more card and not exactly synergistic here as it's best in a tempo/control shell. There's not really a play pattern for this deck where I would want it on turn 1 and after that there is better things to do with your mana.
I will never understand why more players don't run the peacekeeper card.
It’s very good but does seem overlooked
It's at its best when you are playing a deck with a decently fast clock against a slower deck, but control is relatively rare in best of 1 so I can understand why people might not bother with it there. I would probably run like 2 in the maindeck with the other 2 sideboard in a generic Best of 3 white creature deck.
these decks are so useless, try going up against one control with a sunfall or depopulate an crap decks like this have no chance every tit in this game has about 10 -15 removal spells in every deck its so bad the meta
Wtf are you smoking? Control are not meta right now, and against aggro this deck have a very good chance to win and most importantly it's a very fun deck to play.
