Bonecaller Cleric puts a Cleric from your graveyard directly onto the battlefield — no mana cost, just a triggered effect stapled to a creature body. In Orah, Skyclave Hierophant decks that loop Clerics through the graveyard, that free recursion is the whole game.

Orah, Skyclave Hierophant
Orah, Skyclave Hierophant triggers every time a Cleric you control dies, pulling another Cleric out of the graveyard — and Bonecaller Cleric's enter-the-battlefield effect feeds directly into that loop, chaining recursion with minimal setup.

Bonecaller Cleric is a Commander card through and through — the Cleric tribal synergies it enables are too slow and too narrow for Legacy or Vintage, where it's technically legal but irrelevant. In Commander, it earns its slot specifically in Orah, Skyclave Hierophant builds that want recursive graveyard chains; outside of that archetype, the effect is too conditional to justify the deckbuilding cost. Oathbreaker is the only other format where it's legal, and the same caveat applies: you need a Cleric-dense shell to make the trigger matter.
