Orzhov's the name, taxes are the game.

The goal of this deck is to tax the one resource there is too much of in commander, life. Through effects like Painful Quandary, Norn's Annex, and Palace Siege this deck attempts to drain opponents life to the point where powerful evasive creatures, such as Kokusho, the Evening Star and Archangel of Thune, or reach through extort can finish the game.

Creature removal primarily comes through the commander, Karlov of the Ghost Council, who also makes a great beatstick if the need arises.

I am looking for suggestions for cuts as well as additions that I may have missed that would fit the theme of the deck.

Lands will be fleshed out when the deck is finished.
