I got into Magic late last year so I'm not as experienced with this kind of deck. What do you think of it? Any opinions/ suggestions? Here is my description:

A Orzhov deck that focuses on the extortion ability. A mostly black deck with a little bit of white. Heavy on creatures with low casting cost that have extortion and a good amount of the smaller creatures also have flying. Use Basilica Guards and Imposing Sovereign to halt the players creatures from attacking. Most of the Instants/Enchantments/Sorceries focus on removal. I don't have a planeswalker in this deck but I do have Obzedat, Ghost Council and Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts to help with control.

I'll try to test this deck out at events in my area as well as FNM to see how it plays. I'm looking to bleed the enemy through extort while keeping them from attacking me with their creatures. If you have any advice/opinions or experiences with extortion and the type of deck I'm building I would love to hear it. Thank you very much.
