Extort is a really interesting mechanic; It is very slow, but it can have big payouts. The goal of the deck is to develop a Crypt Ghast or a Pontiff of Blight to drain the opponent with extorts or even play a very large Torment of Hailfire.

In terms of card advantage, Sign in Blood and Inquisition of Kozilek are very strong early plays and can be used in the late game to trigger Extort. Underworld Connections provides the deck with the fuel it needs to play a lot of spells and control the board. It can also be sided out for many of the removal spells in more aggressive match ups.

Removal is an important aspect of the deck because it is hard to kill any creatures through combat damage. Go for the Throat and Doom Blade can take care of a lot of different creature, but just in case they cannot there are two copies of Murderous Cut as well.
