Sorin in an Extort lifegain deck?

Humoring the idea of replacing Liliana of the Dark Realms in this deck list for Sorin, Lord of Innistrad because i may get Sorin in a trade. Death By Taxes is the deck I'm talking about... it has Extort but uses lifegain offensively as well. Also has some recursion subthemes. Take a look and tell me if you think Sorin makes sense here, please!
Although, with the Crypt Ghast in there, Liliana may not be needed at all.

that's a good point, the Crypt Ghast helps with the mana costs for things, but can the extra black mana added to my mana pool be used to Extort? i'd imagine so.

Yes it can, which is what makes the Crypt Ghast so great for extort, more so when you have a playset on the field!

alright i'm convinced, then. the Ghasts can take Liliana's place and i can use Sorin, Lord of Innistrad instead. i don't think his +1/+0 emblem is too relevant here but everything else he does is pretty solid.

His emblem is pretty nice when you have an army of his lifelinking vampires out though. His -6 is great for taking out the opponents big cards too. I was playing a match where I had him at 6, opponent brought out his win con creature, and I took it next turn along with a couple of his extort cards to add to my extortion. It let me extort for 5 by the end of it

I really like this deck....I need to modify my Orzhov deck a bit to be more like this one...I love the Divine Deflection in here too.

yes I have a buddy who loves his big green trample cards and he has now added the bloodrush mechanic...this might be something worth keeping in my sideboard!
I did up vote it. Any help you would suggest on my all your life are belonging to us (help!) would be most welcomed!

I personally use both in my lifegain with some extort deck. I find that they both work together great, they've saved my game multiple times
