Cleric is a creature class for Magic cards depicting a religious official or member of the clergy of any religion.

Description

Cleric is the primary white spellcaster.

Clerics channel the power of their faith in a cause or higher being into potent magic.[1] Most clerics are part of a formal church, cult, or other religious institution and wield either white or black mana. White-aligned clerics specialize in healing and protection, while black-aligned clerics spread fear and pestilence and often share a bond with the undead.

Clerics are part of the party.
