Extortion in a way only an American Banker can extort.

My idea behind this deck is to combine the mana ramp of my Crypt Ghast and Liliana so that I can extort people for days.

My deck is still a work in progress but the idea is to eventually switch out cards to support 2x Whip of Erebos so i never have to waste the mana on my guild mage's first mana ability and can capitalize off of her second like a Sanguine Bond

I also want to have 2x Erebos so that I can make sure if my extortion is moving slow that my enemy cant gain life and i can use him like a sign in blood. when i need too, cause after all what is life in a black deck but an extra resource?

Finally i wanna have 2 whips so if for some odd reason I loose my Obzedat I can bring him back, exile him in a fashion that my whip one have time to resolve and I wont have to remove him from the game permanently

.My reasoning for cards such as soul tithe, is so i have a nice low drop disable that can dodge indestructible and creatures with regenerate.

My idea with the Merciless Eviction is i find that exiling all of a players creatures would be an effective way to also remove indestructible creatures, and clearing a green decks mana ramp creatures with no way to bring them back.

I would love any thoughts and ideas on this deck but i think if played right, I will have enough life gain to out live most decks, while still having the ability to do damage without ever needing to swing with a creature.
