Skyclave Cleric // Skyclave Basilica

Every deck cutting a two-color list agonizes over the same knife's edge: run enough lands to hit your drops and you drown in dead cards late; trim the count and you stumble on early turns. This solves the tension the humblest way possible. The front face is a small lifegain body that fills a curve slot without demanding attention; the flip side is a tapped white source, a point of tempo the only cost of drawing it after the manabase is set. Neither half is good in isolation, and that misses the point. Both halves are always live: a hand short on lands plays it as one, a hand flooded on them casts the Kor Cleric for a blocker and two life. That is what compresses the mulligan math, letting the marginal card in a deck become the one that is never dead. The 1/3 is unremarkable by intent; the front is deliberately kept modest so the land mode stays a genuine choice rather than an afterthought you never take. What sits in front of you is manabase smoothing wearing a creature's face, engineered so the least glamorous card in a list is also the most dependable.
