If I upgrade the chaplain to be a super chaplain (master of sangtity). Beeing able recite 2 prayers and resisting them on 2+. Do I loose a prayer for a turn if I use Commanding Oratory?

"COMMANDING ORATORY
2CP
Adeptus Astartes – Epic Deed Stratagem
Fuelled by battlefield adrenaline, the Chaplain recites his litanies with even greater fervour, inspiring the warriors around him.

Use this Stratagem at the start of any of your phases other than your Command phase. Select one ADEPTUS ASTARTES CHAPLAIN unit from your army that has not recited a litany this turn. That model can recite one litany that has not already been recited by a friendly model this turn. That litany is automatically inspiring (do not roll) and takes effect until the start of your next Command phase."

RAW I agree, that you trade 2 prayers on a 2+ for a guaranteed prayer and 2 CP.

Though, I doubt GW balances on such a detailed level and it is most likely a case of "it makes sense with a regular Chaplain" and nobody bothered to put in extra text for a Master of Sanctity.

Yes. It also allows you to for example dessptrike in and still use a power

That is a good point. In such a scenario the 2CP seem more worth it.

Prayers are recited in the Command phase. Commanding Oratory is used in any phase other than the Command phase. To use it, the Chaplain must not have recited a litany this turn. So even if you could normally recite two litanies, to use Commanding Oratory your Chaplain is only able to recite one litany (you cannot use the Stratagem twice in the turn).

The Stratagem also means that your Chaplain can come in from Reserve and recite a litany, which he would otherwise not be able to do. Could be a big deal for a Terminator Chaplain reciting Canticle of Hate for the accomanying squad of Assault Terminators.

All you have to do is fire three rounds a minute, and stand

Yeah, I know the deepstrike trick. It is neat. If I go down that route I will include a wulfen stone (re-roll charges) so that can be fun.

But yeah, my bike chaplain will have to relly on 2+ to not loose his two prayers.

If you give the Master of Sanctity the Wise Orator WT, Commanding Oratory is 1 CP instead of 2. This WT is also what gives the prayers the 2+ to succeed.
