Black White Red extortion burn deck. The deck is based around the extort mechanic. It uses cards such as Magma Jet, and Boros Charm in order to extort them for extreme amounts of direct damage and loss of life.

How the deck works.Basically you want to get a few extort creatures out, then start casting burn spells and extort them for extra damage. Obzedat, Ghost Council and Blood Baron of Vizkopa are there for added damage and defense, and with Blind Obedience.

This deck starts off kind of slow but can ramp up pretty quickly to do large bursts of damage to your opponent. I've been able to kill someone turn 6 or 7 with a good draw.

Use all the scry, and Read the Bones to dig through your deck for your burn cards, and extorts. If you end up in a slow game keep extorting all of your 1 and 2 drop creatures to sustain and use them as blockers. The goal is to have 3 or more extorts out when you cast a burn.

From what I can find so far from testing with friends, is that like gain decks and damage prevention decks really slow you down. Planeswalkers are also hard to deal with. However I side boarded some cards to help against those decks.

Dreadbore and Pithing Needle to help out with some of the plains walkers. Gild to take gods out of the equation.Planar Cleansing and Slaughter Games to help deal with aggro. Erebos, God of the Dead to help deal with life gain decks.

Let me know what you guys think of my deck and any suggestions would be helpful.

Updates Add

Waiting for my new BNG cards to come in. I think I've added enough removal to happily sit back and extort and burn, until my heavy hitters can hit the field. Changed up some of the numbers to add in different cards to better suit situations. Any more suggestions would be helpful, especially with dealing with mono-blue. That decks seems to be my problem child.
