I just recently revised by Orzhov- Bleed Them Dry deck. The biggest issue I have with it is that I play my hand through pretty early and things get pretty slow after that (especially when I play against my boyfriend's Boros deck.)
I am thinking of adding some Mentor of the Meek , but I would like to know if there are better suggestions on what to add or drop to help my deck with this problem.
Isolated Chapel and Godless Shrine would speed you up a lot. Underworld Connections can help too. Staff of Nin wont help you much. You wont be able till play it. You should probably use Blind Obedience to slow him down. But understand that it will be a cold day in hell when your Orzhov deck outruns his Boros deck straight up.

Also Crypt Ghast is a possibility, which would open the door to you rubbing it in his face when you combine Vizkopa Guildmage with Exquisite Blood and win instantly.

card:Kingpin's Pet is the best extort creature. Thrull Parasite is the cheapest. Obzedat, Ghost Council steals 2 life per turn. Underworld Connections is definitely a nifty, longevity device to keep extort going but as far as speed from the get go is concerned, Sign in Blood draws 2 cards for 2 mana & 2 life. Are you using Blood Artist so they still lose life even if they destroy your extort creatures? Blind Obedience slows them down so you have time to deplete their life & it completely stops your bf's Spark Trooper altogether. Vizkopa Guildmage & Exquisite Blood combo should be a staple in this deck meaning every Orzhov life drain deck should have them. Lingering Souls is 2 extort uses in 1. Undercity Plague and Mental Vapors on fliers enable extort triggers potentially every turn. Unburial Rites is also 2 extort uses & combined High Priest of Penance it's godlike against major threats. He just keeps coming back!

Maybe Staff of Nin ? It always helps me in decks who get emptyhanded on the 5th-6th turn
