Thanks!, I really appreciate your help! I could take out the Confessor, I just thought it would be best to have all the extort cards in it so I can have a better chance of drawing a creature with extort. But I would be willing to take him out because he is expensive. I did find some cards I would like to add like Magister Sphinx , Agent of Masks , Demonic Tutor , Drogskol Reaver , Etherwrought Page , Ghost Council of Orzhova , Obzedat, Ghost Council , and possibly this one, i think its neat haha Triad of Fates
But yeah I do need cheaper spells, basically I want to counter everything, extort, gain life, have opponents lose life, then get the draw so I can guarantee, myself to grab another counter/control spell, im not sure how to get more mana though, i do have Crypt Ghast but its only useful with swamps, which i do have quite a bit of haha
Anyways thanks for your comment, I am excited to see your suggestions brehhh! BTW i would really like to check out your extort deck if you have it posted, thats a pretty neat commander for it!

Merciless Eviction is a very good boardwiper in B/W. Part of the reason I made an extort deck in the first place was I pulled one from a pack and wanted to use it.

Yeah I have that on my want list! It's perfect against the new gods! As soon as I first played my friend and he put out an Erebos I knew I needed to get some exileEnchantments and exile creatureCards haha, I really love Act of Authority , it's pretty neat as well to get rid of enchantments!

Oh wow, didn't notice Act of Authority exiled instead of destroyed. That thing is pretty hilarious, but my fondness for running huge numbers of artifacts would make it work against me.

Well u could use it once then destroy it then reanimate it somehow like with Treasury Thrull or figure out a way to gain control of it again after giving it to someone.
My friend plays with the commander (I can't remember the name, it's a red white blueCommander though) that gives control of his permanents to his opponents and they have negative effects so when he would put enchantments on me I would be able to exile them and keep ownership of it so it can be a pretty powerful card! haha

Probably Zedruu the Greathearted . Yeah, that would work pretty well against his/her/its nonsense like Stranglehold and such.
The thing with Act of Authority , it exiles, so even though we're including Treasury Thrull , we can't use his recursion to undo the damage it does. Still good, though.
I get a lot of use out of Flickering Ward , bouncing it and recasting it to extort again, to the point where I've had someone use Force of Will to counter it, heh. It amuses me every time a $1 card of mine has a $50 answer.

Yeah it is Zedru! And what I meant was use a card to destroy a.o.a. so it goes to your graveyard instead of using itself to exile it, then reanimate it, but that is just to much casting and stuff to get it back.
But yeah I am definitely getting a flickering ward, that would be great for heroic too which I think I am going to build one of those too for commander.

I made an extort deck for EDH also, it has actually done decently despite all reason: Selenia, Angelic Extortionist EDH. Mine is black/white though. I am seriously not liking Vizkopa Confessor because he is so expensive to cast though. My deck also focuses heavily on trying to stall the game with cheap spells (but my local meta is very fast, so this was my attempt to bog it down in a way that I could derive an advantage from).
Extort really wants cheaper spells, and tons of mana, and ways to reuse cheap stuff as much as it can. I'll try to make some suggestions on your deck page...
