This deck focuses on one of my favorite creature types; Clerics.
When the Onslaught set was released, we saw quite a few clerics with an affinity for one-another. Meaning, clerics that have heightened effects with more clerics in play.
The point of this deck is damage control, healing, and defense. More of an "outlive, outlast" theme. Not to say it doesn't have its own means of defending itself. Avatar of Woe and Scion of Darkness, the two heavy-hitting creatures, and a few nasty spells like Seizures and Profane Prayers give you some good offense, and Pacifisms see to it that your enemy can't hit you with some monstrosity of a creature.

Look like an interesting casual deck. Does it have enough land though with only 18?
I was hoping to actually try this in an amateur tournament in my area. I've not played the game in about 3 years, and just picked up a couple pre-cons and boosters from the Alara block.
Is deck size limited to 60 in tournaments, or can it go above? If no, what two cards would you suggest I remove theoretically to cover 2 more lands?
Nothing in the deck has a converted mana cost of over 5, with the exception of the Avatar of Woe (which can be played for BB if 10 creatures are in all graveyards total) and Scion of Darkness (which can be summoned for free with Dark Supplicants). That's why I figured 18 mana was enough.
Please, let me know what you think on that.
