▸ Infinite or near-infinite drain with Blood Artist effects plus a Cleric sac loop and free outlet ▸ Grinding attrition: out-valuing opponents until your recursive board overwhelms them ▸ Lifelink combat damage backed by a wide, resilient Cleric armyArchetypes Aristocrats — Orah rewards sacrificing Clerics, pairing perfectly with death-payoffs like Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat . Tribal (Clerics) — The entire ability keys off Clerics, encouraging a dense Cleric subtheme with lords and value bodies. Reanimator — Orah continuously returns Clerics from the graveyard, letting you recur powerful ETB Clerics for value. Combo — With a free sac outlet, a Blood Artist effect, and two looping Clerics you can drain the whole table.

Whenever Orah or another Cleric you control dies, return target Cleric card with lesser mana value from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Orah turns Clerics into a self-perpetuating value engine: every time a Cleric dies you reanimate a cheaper Cleric, chaining death triggers into massive board states and recursion. Build a tribal aristocrats deck that sacrifices Clerics for value, drains opponents, and grinds them out. You win by attrition or by assembling a sacrifice loop that drains the table.
Powerful recursion engine that makes Clerics extremely sticky against removal and board wipesStrong aristocrats/sacrifice synergy with built-in card advantage
Lifelink keeps you alive while you build your engineAccess to BW's deep removal, tutors, and recursion suite
Heavily commander-dependent; without Orah the deck loses its engine
Only reanimates Clerics of strictly lesser mana value, so curve matters and high-CMC Clerics get stranded
Can be slow and grindy with weak ramp and reach against fast combo decks
Free sac outlet that lets you trigger Orah at will to chain reanimations and scry.
A Cleric that makes tokens and creates a recursion loop when sacrificed and returned.
Turns every Cleric death into incremental drain, converting Orah's loops into a win condition.
Cleric-adjacent flexible removal; more importantly Clerics with utility ETBs become repeatable answers via Orah.
Cheap Cleric that loops with Orah and a sac outlet for endless tokens and triggers.
Free sac outlet that fuels mana while triggering Orah repeatedly for combo potential.
