A Modern Extort GWB deck with a counter twist.

Basically, I had two decks I played with: A BW Extort, and a GB Counter-gain. I went out and bought a Intro Pack: Abzan Siege. Saw a bunch of things in it that got me thinking... why not combine the two decks I have into one stronger deck?

So here is my Counter-Extort love child. Suggestions would be great. I'm having a ton of fun using this thing. I made it a 67 card deck because I have found it to be a bit more consistent.

Here is what I'd like to swap out, when I get them:

• Gideon, Ally of Zendikar for Ajani, Caller of the Pride (For the +1 ability of +1/+1 Counters, though I am conflicted: Gaining tokens is great, but having a 5/5 Indestructible is also good, especially if you attach Deathtouch to him and use him to block or attack things. But... giving something both Flying and Double Strike is also great. So I may throw one of these in the Sideboard instead.)
• Blighted Woodland for Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth (To make Extort costs easier)
• One Retreat to Kazandu for Citadel Siege (More Counters)

I have some of the cards in the Maybeboard, such as Reclaiming Vines and Hunt the Weak, so I may replace a few things in the Sideboard instead, such as:

• Abzan Banner for Reclaiming Vines (Minor control)
• Hooded Assassin for Earthen Arms (Better defense, and I could still benefit from an additional creature)

If you're the type of person who doesn't like decks over a flat-60, go ahead and remove the following, as they are not essential to the build (But do help improve it): Avenger of Zendikar, Pontiff of Blight, 2x Servant of the Scale, Garruk, Apex Predator, Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, & Blighted Woodland.
