Arena is great in many ways, but its 75-deck limit seems unnecessarily limiting. Today's post is a 'deck dump' so I can remember certain decks, then delete them to make room for more.
Ill-Gotten
This casual deck could have been named "ping." The goal is to play cards that grind your opponent's down to zero. It doesn't work that well, but is amusing when you can get a few Dogged Pursuit and/or Ill-Gotten Inheritance and/or Revenge of the Ravens out.
4 Duskwielder (KHM) 91
20 Swamp (SLD) 105
4 Revenge of Ravens (ELD) 104
4 Dogged Pursuit (KHM) 85
4 Ill-Gotten Inheritance (RNA) 77
2 Castle Locthwain (ELD) 241
4 Duress (M21) 96
4 Serrated Scorpion (IKO) 99
4 Agonizing Remorse (THB) 83
4 Costly Plunder (XLN) 96
4 Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose (M21) 127
1 Crippling Fear (KHM) 82
1 Witch's Vengeance (ELD) 111
Clerics (v1)
My first take at an Orzhov Clerics deck is a good example of why I'm not a great Magic player. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted this to be aggro, control, or combo, and as a result, it did nothing well. It would explode every now and then, but was a disappointment.
3 Anointed Chorister (M21) 4
1 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244
3 Expedition Healer (ZNR) 13
2 Attended Healer (ZNR) 6
2 Bloodchief's Thirst (ZNR) 94
4 Kor Celebrant (ZNR) 22
2 Shatter the Sky (THB) 37
1 Nullpriest of Oblivion (ZNR) 118
9 Swamp (ZNR) 382
4 Marauding Blight-Priest (ZNR) 112
4 Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose (M21) 127
1 Drana, the Last Bloodchief (ZNR) 98
4 Cleric of Life's Bond (ZNR) 222
2 Orah, Skyclave Hierophant (ZNR) 233
9 Plains (ZNR) 380
3 Brightclimb Pathway (ZNR) 259
2 Temple of Silence (M21) 255
4 Archfiend's Vessel (M21) 88
Clerics (v2)
I made some improvements, adding card draw (Village Rites) and cheaper cards (Speaker of the Heavens), going more aggro/combo. Still not great, but in the right direction.
4 Anointed Chorister (M21) 4
3 Village Rites (M21) 126
3 Bloodchief's Thirst (ZNR) 94
3 Nullpriest of Oblivion (ZNR) 118
8 Swamp (ZNR) 382
3 Marauding Blight-Priest (ZNR) 112
4 Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose (M21) 127
4 Cleric of Life's Bond (ZNR) 222
3 Orah, Skyclave Hierophant (ZNR) 233
8 Plains (ZNR) 380
4 Brightclimb Pathway (ZNR) 259
2 Temple of Silence (M21) 255
4 Archfiend's Vessel (M21) 88
4 Speaker of the Heavens (M21) 38
3 Kor Celebrant (ZNR) 22
Clerics (v3)
This has proven the most successful version, adding Luminarch Aspirant and Mangara.

2 Mangara, the Diplomat (M21) 27
Draw 2
This one is simple: draw, draw, draw. My original deck name was "Win or Lose, Draw." Burlfist Oak, enchanted with Setessan Training and aided by card drawing effects, is the heavy hitter here. It does okay, but not as well as I'd like.
4 Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse (M21) 191
23 Forest (IKO) 274
4 Setessan Training (M21) 205
4 Track Down (M21) 211
4 Llanowar Visionary (M21) 193
4 Burlfist Oak (M21) 174
2 Elder Gargaroth (M21) 179
2 Hunter's Edge (M21) 189
4 Skyscanner (M21) 238
2 Heroic Intervention (M21) 188
4 Portcullis Vine (M21) 195
3 Primal Might (M21) 197
Discard
A simple discard deck- slower than I'd like, but can get the job done occasionally.
2 Duress (M20) 97
22 Swamp (ANB) 116
4 Burglar Rat (GRN) 64
4 Liliana's Steward (M21) 111
2 Tinybones, Trinket Thief (JMP) 17
3 Waste Not (M15) 122
3 Mind Rot (M21) 115
4 Plaguecrafter (GRN) 82
2 Rotting Regisaur (M20) 111
2 Liliana, Waker of the Dead (M21) 108
3 Rankle, Master of Pranks (ELD) 101
2 Sangromancer (JMP) 272
1 The Eldest Reborn (DAR) 90
4 Reassembling Skeleton (M19) 116
2 Ayara, First of Locthwain (ELD) 75
21 Green Street
No idea how I got this name (from 21 Jump Street, I assume, but I'm not familiar with the show and have no idea why I associated that with this deck). I recall it doing better than I suspected, but I never use it anymore, so time to go.
4 Pridemalkin (M21) 196
19 Forest (IKO) 274
1 Evolution Sage (WAR) 159
2 Primal Might (M21) 197
4 Hunter's Edge (M21) 189

2 Syr Faren, the Hengehammer (ELD) 177
2 Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig (ELD) 185
2 Renata, Called to the Hunt (THB) 196

2 Pollenbright Druid (WAR) 173

4 Pelt Collector (GRN) 141
2 Garruk's Uprising (M21) 186
4 Castle Garenbrig (ELD) 240
Forest's Might
I think this was an Arena original. But it's no longer valid in standard, and there are better 'stompy' decks out there.
1 Ghalta, Primal Hunger (RIX) 130
1 Gigantosaurus (M19) 185
1 Aggressive Mammoth (M19) 302
3 Llanowar Elves (M19) 314
1 Vigilant Baloth (M19) 206
2 Bristling Boar (M19) 170
3 Centaur Courser (M19) 171
3 Rabid Bite (M19) 195
2 Titanic Growth (M19) 205
24 Forest (M19) 277
2 Pelt Collector (GRN) 141
2 Root Snare (M19) 199
1 Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma (M19) 186
1 Carnage Tyrant (XLN) 179
1 Steel Leaf Champion (DAR) 182
2 Thorn Lieutenant (M19) 203
2 Colossal Majesty (M19) 173
1 Thrashing Brontodon (RIX) 148
1 Beast Whisperer (GRN) 123
1 Pelakka Wurm (M19) 192
1 Finale of Devastation (WAR) 160
1 Nissa's Triumph (WAR) 170
2 Blanchwood Armor (M19) 169
1 Crushing Canopy (GRN) 126
That frees up some slots . . . on to new creations.
