Skyclave Cleric // Skyclave Basilica gives you a lifelink cleric on the front and a tapped dual land on the back — the card earns its slot by doing either job depending on what you need. Orah, Skyclave Hierophant decks are its natural home, where the cleric type matters more than the stats and the basilica is a free land drop you'd run anyway.

In Commander, Skyclave Cleric // Skyclave Basilica is a clean role-player in cleric tribal and life-gain decks — the MDFC flexibility means you'll almost never draw a dead card. In Pioneer and Modern it sees fringe play in white-black life-gain shells that want cheap lifelink creatures, but the stats are too modest to push it into mainstream constructed. Legacy and Vintage are legal but irrelevant — the card doesn't approach the power bar either format demands. Commander is where Skyclave Cleric // Skyclave Basilica actually earns a deck slot.
