Are you going to be running more than 14 lands I'm hoping? And also,  {Starlit Sanctum} is a boss.

Eh, gaining and losing 1 life is meh, I can see the potential with {coat of arms}, but I think there are better uses for sacrificing my clerics.

No {Coat of Arms}, anything but that. It helps opponents and it's super awkward when everyone is checking and cross-referencing creature types and subtypes, sometimes looking up the Oracle text for some creature types, and blah blah blah. Just avoid it!

 {Doubtless One}?

 {Faith Healer} (for Athreos)
{Custodi Squire} (for fun)
{Grand Abolisher}
{Akroma's Devoted}
{Order of Whiteclay} (for Shadowborn)
{Transcendent Master}
{Sun Titan}
aaaand {Deathless Angel} (for the token)

Oh and more land. Like {Fetid Heath} for example.

Yep, love me some Orzhov EDH.

Edit: also,
{Deathbringer Liege}
{Sol Ring}
{Debtors' Knell}
{Unburial Rites}

I was also thinking, {Triad of Fates} might be a cool addition to flicker your Runescarred, could even swap them in as Commander some games.

What's that you say? Oh, yes! I do agree, the sisters do suck most of the time.

Planar cleansing and other wipes to correspond with your Return to battlefield effects.

Also:  {Martyr's Bond} for more board control :)

Isochron scepter and all cheap removal for W/B :D


Door of destinies if you want a general buff, works great with conspiracy.

OOO OOO: my 2 favorite demons!!!
{Minion of Leshrac}
{Demonic Hordes}

Thanks man! Definitely liking grand abolisher and order of white clay!

Question though, why not just use {Heliod, god of white stuff} instead of {akroma's devoted}?

That, my friend, is a wonderful question! I ran a cleric deck once upon a time so he came to mind. Forgot God of Fun does the vigilance thing and makes clerics!

So considering your inclusion of {Cover of Darkness}, {Coat of Arms} (yuck) and {Conspiracy}, what is your Tribe in this deck? Because there's a hell of a lot more clerics already...

Yeah but I have a full art {sign in blood} and a duel deck {demonic tutor} because the art is better.

Thanks for the conspiracy notice though!

I like the Duel Deck {Demonic Tutor} also, I wish they made a foil of it. It would fix my Stax deck because it has Liliana in it. Just like the Sorin {Vindicate} I have matches the art on the DD Sorin.

Very small suggestion, but with all the 1 mana  {Shadowborn Apostle} 's you should run  {Spirit Bonds} for value
