Maybeboard


Black/White extort deck. The objective is to play defensively while whittling down opponents with extort. The deck is intended for multiplayer.

Extort requires heavy mana expenditures, so I'm trying to use cheap spells, creature and artifact recursion. Some spells like Flickering Ward can recur themselves, and Selenia herself can be bounced for "free".

Some intended combos implemented by the deck:
- Selenia, Dark Angel + Vizkopa Guildmage + Children of Korlis -> activating Vizkopa Guildmage's ability, then bringing myself down to an arbitrary life total using Selenia's ability repeatedly, I can gain it back by sacrificing the children and deal that amount of damage to all players
- Necropotence + Vizkopa Guildmage + Children of Korlis -> similar to the above, but I need to be able to exile cards from my deck in addition to paying life
- Grim Harvest + Kami of False Hope -> repeated Holy Day effect
- Kami of False Hope + Phyrexian Reclamation / Disturbed Burial + Kami of False Hope -> similar to the above

Updates Add

The deck's not had changes posted in a long time; this is partly because I haven't been playing it much. It is really designed for very large games (6 or more players) which is a game type I mostly avoid playing these days. It's too slow when it faces fewer opponents. I've had fun with it (and it's my second highest rating deck, I guess) but being designed for a game I avoid and yet another slow deck by me, it doesn't do a lot of interesting things anymore.

I'm going to the changes that have been made since it was last updated, with the understanding it's going to be phased out. It's going to be remade to feature Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, which will be titled Ayli, Eternal Cleric EDH. Having been originally made in October 2013, it's had a good run though.


- Phyrexian Altar: This deck was rarely generating enough creatures to make this as useful as it could be.
- Syndicate Enforcer: Actually removing this was an accident; the card got lost. If I was keeping the deck I'd have replaced him.


- Increasing Ambition: Like most of my decks, it has a consistency problem, so I've been looking for tutors.
- Plains: This was added to compensate for the card that was lost at some point.
