My orzhov deck. I really considered a lot of options to build it. I would really appreciate if you want to improve it.

How it works: The idea of the deck is to gain life and make opponents to lose it using Extort. So, to play that I use: Basilica Screecher Kingpin's Pet Thrull Parasite Crypt Ghast Pontiff of Blight All cards with Extort cards, but, better than that, Pontiff of Blight let me to make all creatures with Extort and, because of extort mana cost, the two Crypt Ghast help me with that.Added, Vampire Nighthawk, Rhox Faithmender and Tablet of the Guilds help me with the gain/lose life thing.

Here comes the problem, isn't the deck creatures a little weak? Well, thats right, I suffered it a lot, so I added: High Priest of Penance (to destroy permanent) Thrill-Kill Assassin (with Thrull Parasite I gain like infinite deathtouch, pay life isn't a problem in this deck)Teysa, Envoy of GhostsCelestial Flare One Thousand Lashes Pacifism Tragic Slip

Added to that, if I see that opponent player play to great and powerfull creatures i can use:Killing Wave (which is a difficult choice, because is fast how a let the opponent with little life)Norn's Annex (so he will be stopped in all the game to attack, I don't care if he can block, because I only need to extort)

And finally, how could i win in my better first hand?So I add Bond of Agony , because of the difference in life that Extort produce, I would always pay opponent life.

Please, let me know your improvements

Sorry for bad english!

PS: I know about Vizkopa Guildmage + Exquisite Blood combo, but i feel that it's a really slow combo to play around it.
