This deck was built for a 10 person battle of the guilds. We had some limitations on the deck lists (such as requiring so many cards with the guild mechanics and a Ravnican commander) and a few I put on myself (such as requiring creature types already in Orzhov and cards that do not reference named places outside of Ravnica).

Despite the limitations, the deck is still competitive. The goal is to gain plenty of life, triggering Karlov several times in a turn, protect him in some way, and start killing players. Alternatively, drain your opponents through extortion. Alternate alternatively, use aetherflux reservoir as a cannon.
