Extortion EDH deck.

Feel Free to Leave Comments on Card Swaps or things you thing should be added!

The primary focus is on using extortion to trickle down your opponents while getting your life up high enough to use one of several life based win condition cards such as Test of Endurance, Or Felidar Sovereign.

There are several other very helpful combos listed below. These combos range in usefulness from slowing down opponents assault on you, to wiping opponents creatures, to ending the game.

Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond is another win combo especially when you can pay 1 to extort after playing the second enchantment for the win.

Beacon of Immortality + False Cure - immediately kill 1 player.

Magus of the Coffers + Umbral Mantle + 6 swamps = Infinite Black Mana

Well of Lost Dreams + Exploit turns extortion into a card draw mechanism as well for any excess mana you may have.

There are several tutors to help pull key cards. Rune-Scarred Demon, Diabolic Tutor, Liliana Vess, Beseech the Queen

To help with Mana Curve there are Magus of the Coffers, Cabal Coffers, Caged Sun, Everflowing Chalice, Knight of the White Orchid

My League group is pretty casual. we try not to go to overboard with combos or instant win conditions. I have been doing pretty well with the deck and like the previous changes i made.

I wanted to see if i could take the theme a step further so i have made a few more changes. Some of these could be argued to make the deck weaker overall however i felt that some of the cards didn't match the theme and prefer a strong and fun theme vs cards added solely because they can be used in a combo in most cases. I also felt i needed more card draw and a little more mana ramp so added a few options for that.
