Honestly you're probably much better off with Ajani's Pridemate rather than Cleric of Life's Bond. Easier to cast, and no once-a-turn limit!
What kinda format are you going for here? Looks leaning towards Modern, but Wall of Hope isn't legal there. You can set your deck's format on the edit page! I'd recommend Pioneer; plenty of cards to choose from, there, and not so competitive a space.
Also, I'd really recommend not using straight lifegain spells like Rest for the Weary. You're better off using those card slots for something else. I'd recommend ditching those and the Unbender Tines right off the bat, bring you to the generally recommend 60-card deck.
Hope this helps; I love the enthusiasm! If you want more tips I've more I could say and recommend.

Down one Professor of Symbology (I think the word you're looking for is Symbolism) lol. Somebody will get it... every time I see this card I swear...
Gameplay Update: This build is ticking along quite nicely, even versus the mirror match. Angel of Destiny is a riot though most quit on the first strike trigger for some reason, denying me the janky wincon lol. Lolth, Spider Queen also performs well, so I think I will keep both as a one if for now. Agadeem's Awakening Flip/Emeria's Call Flip sadly have only been used as lands as of yet.
Still kinda sad there's no Kor Celebrant here just for the RV/KC synergy but we make do I suppose. Especially considering Cleric of Life's Bond only triggers once per turn. Sorry KC, only so many seats on the train...
I'd love to see some similar builds if any of you follow the WB life gain path so if you care to share, feel free. Also let me know if you decide to try this out and how it goes. Until next time...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have not been ignoring anyone, just busy. Finally got a moment to sit down. After some consideration...
Testing:
Shambling Ghastx4 --> Soulmenderx4. What about Cleric Class here instead? Winmore?
Hunt for Specimens x4--> Cram Session x4
Cleric of Life's Bond x1 --> Dawnbringer Cleric x1 Classes suck, and that skeleton thing, and freeze enchantments. And Trelasarra > Life's Bond, so...
Sideboard: Academic Probation x1 --> Reduce to Memory x1. Idk, never seem to use AP, and in case I have no critter to sac... makes me consider replacing Necrotic Fumes as well. If anyone has better lesson suggestions go for it.
Keeping old list intact for a bit while testing. Kind of feeling Valkyrie is a bit winmore in this case, maybe a 2 of? I mean, we are lacking flyers save for an inkling in the sideboard. Trade 1 infuse and 1 spear? Will see how this goes I suppose. Dina makes me feel like adding all the other pain/gain goodies, thus changing the entire deck, so saving for the golgari pair. Orah is still kinda sidelined here, kind of in the same boat as Valkyrie for now.
I am exploring the dual color combinations, I just need to grind some rares. I'll post lists when I can and after a few runs first. Anyway, let me know what y'all think and I'll let ya's know how it goes.

Considering you are doing clerics and have a fair bit of life gain, I would highly recommend Righteous Valkyrie.
A very strong creature to consider is also Orah, Skyclave Hierophant. This creature will help you out a bit with recurring low cost clerics when the higher cost ones die. Very useful against sweepers as the triggers will allow you to get back more then one creature sometimes back to the field. This card pairs very well with Pyre of Heroes as another card to think of using.
For the Arena 2022 mode I would highly recommend Soulmender as it will allow you to consistently trigger life gain +1/+1 counter triggers. This pairs exceptionally well with Cleric of Life's Bond as this creature can only gain a counter once each turn, meaning you can activate the Soulmender on an opponents turn to get extra triggers you normally would not get.
