So I've been having a lot of fun (and success) with this deck... Essentially, I try to build a wall of cheap yet effective extort creatures as quick as possible. Crypt ghasts, Rhox Faithmenders and guildmages are the bread and butter for badass game changers like Debt to the Dealthless, Exquisite Blood, and Ready & Willing. I've got a few methods for getting clutch cards out of the graveyard amd Crypt Incursion is a nice little "just in case' card. I THINK I want to ditch the 2x Blind Obedience for Gideon and Ajani. There a TONS of ways to do either massive damage and/or massive (if not infinite) extorts with this deck.. your opponent will be hit so hard they wont even be mad at you.. just bewildered and unsatisfied.

Edit

With a typical draw, I don't worry about blocking and/or attacking at all. Extorts will minimize or negate any damage done to you those first few rounds especially. Mid-to-late game, a vizkopa guildmage with a Rhox and/or exquisite blood will completely alter the balance of the game. The guildmage is by no means necessary, between fliers and extort it's not hard to put hard pressure on your opponent's front lines. I tend to use debt to the dealthless recklessly, but conservative play is fine too. the more mana you have, the more win you get. If things go slow, getting a DtD out by turn 6 or 8 will often get me back over 20 life. The planeswalkers listed each have abilities that compliment this deck immensely and serve as an alternate target for opponents, giving you at least one round's respite if you totally get into a bind. Since mana is usually a non-issue, having turns where a Desecration Demon AND Necropolis Regent out come out isn't unheard of.. plenty of intimidating blockers, and ways to either do a full-on creature onslaught with guildmage abilities, extort to oblivion, and/or debt to the deathless your opponents (works amazing in free-for-alls).
