Hill Dwarf Life Cleric (AL)
Would like opinions on an optimized spell list for a 7th level life cleric.
Wis is currently 18 and may forgo feat at 8th and up it to 20.
Any advice is appreciated.

Uhm, prepare the spells you think are best at the moment? You have the whole cleric spell list to play with, you can afford some trial and error

I played pretty much the same character, a hill dwarf life cleric. Just going to copy/paste spells from an old sheet. The goal was to have a mix of control spells (banish/hold) and utility along with whatever good heals the domain was missing.

(Level 8)
Prepared spells:
1) healing word, sanctuary, command, detect magic
2) prayer of healing, hold person
3) dispel magic, mass healing word, spiritual guardians, water walk
4) banishment, freedom of movement

Domain spells, always prepared:
bless, cure wounds, lesser restoration, spiritual weapon, beacon of hope, revivify, death ward, guardian of faith

Cantrips: guidance, sacred flame, light, mending

The world you character is in, the other members of your party, and your DM's style can radically change the optimal spell mix. That said there are some stand out spells that seem both effective and iconic. To pick one from each level for you....

Guidance
Bless
Spiritual weapon
Spirit guardians
Banishment

What about Create Undead, my Chaotic Good Pirate Cleric is going to have a little entourage.
There is nothing saying a Life Cleric cant do this, to show people you don't need to be scared of Zombies :)
