I run a fairly decent BW cleric deck and I STILL don't really have room in the deck for these. If I am going to win it's not going to be with one of these anyway.

Emperor makes this card good - at least if both of your friends are running Clerics.

@DrFaustMd
You have 8-9 creatures reliably? hardcasted? Non-tokens? Must be a slow meta or very nice to everyone. Almost every one of my decks has a board-wiping option, some at instant speed...

This card to me blows. Should cost two mana, and it would STILL be bad most of the time. Fact is if you're playing with this card there is umpteen million removal options, lots at instant speed, and they can, if they haven't already, fry your clerics to reduce the damage.

It's just not likely to hit for much damage, especially when for 4 mana I'm expecting at least 5-6 damage, and I still usually wouldn't use that.

What'll do more damage in a cleric deck? Short answer: anything
but a good example is Rite of Consumption Costs two mana, you'll usually be able to beat this card for damage, is also a common (so won't break the bank) is useful in other decks, etc.

cast it right after casting Standardize? The cleric count includes the opponent's creatures.

You'll need to use non-sacrificing weenie clerics for this to work properly. Starts being good after 6-7th cleric. Edgewalker and extra card drawing (Phyrexian Arena, Gravestorm) might help you get there, but then again, why haven't you already won by that time?
