The worst part of MTG is the community or lack of one lol. Everyone has silverspoons stuck up there butts for competitive play. I always enjoy the casual side of magic just grab a couple of friends and do a free for all while shootin the breeze ;)

don't worry many people pass by decks like these searching for more popular deck builders like NorthernWarlord. Us little guys have got to stick together ;)
This looks like a fun deck with lots of flavor! I myself love black white Orzhov it's my favorite kind of deck. If you wanted to buff it up a bit without paying to much out of pocket I would recommend looking into Ajani's Pridemate, Sanguine Bond, Ulcerate, Tribute to Hunger, Wall of Essence, Radiant Fountain, Batwing Brume, Divinity of Pride, Orzhov Guildmage, Underworld Connections, Underworld Coinsmith, or Voracious Hatchling just to name a few. I hope for the best with this deck.
for cost effeciency I would run Ajani's pridemate, tithe drinker, sign in blood, read the bones, tragic slip, for the expensive heavy duty guns I would put in Arch angel of Thune and Griselbrand, another sorin
I would switch out the caves with Marsh Flats and the Isolated Chapels with Temple of silence. It seems like your running two different decks here one BW lifegain and BW enchantments I would focus on just one and build up from there. Hope everything runs smoothly BW decks are the best kind!!!
remember if you ever need any help or advice don't hesitate to ask. Unfortnatley not every one on this site is respectful or tactful in the way they go about "helping" new players. Just keep at the good work and try diffrent deck types and combos to get the most out of Magic :)
Its a really good deck I like the premise as the others stated above I would drop the count to 60. As a standard set up most people go with 24 land and 36 non land to help narrow the selection process. Since you like congregate and sanguine bond so much let those card be your focus. Try cutting back some of the more costly angels and demons and put in a set a doom blades and unmakes for removal and diabolic tutors for retrieval. I would put in a full set of the nyx fleece rams, soul wardens and other smaller one or two drop creatures which would go perfectly with congregate and help you get to dropping those fatties!!! Next I would drop all of your artifacts except the chalice and elixers to create a faster tempo, along with your exalted creatures, aegis angel, and harvester of souls. This should speed up your deck immensely and allow you for faster life gain/ drain. These are just my suggestions I'm sure what ever you chose to do will be the right thing remember MTG is about having fun with the cards, and not so much serious competition lol. Black & white is the best color combination keep at it your doing great!!!! :)
that is very true I definitely check out your deck!!!! :)
thanks the whole point of the deck to to use life to control the board and drain your opponent! :)
Well Its a solid start. If you really want to abuse the extort ability I would go for more smaller creatures 2 drops are your best bet. Cards like syndic of tithes, tithe drinker, vizkopaguild mage, gnawing zombie. For mid drops I would go with sin collector and Alms beast. I would remove the knights/ kingpins pets and cut down on the treasury thrulls. For spells I would definitely add in doom blades and orzhov charms. If you remove the Exquisite Blood then you can have a very solid (BUDGET!) standard deck for kitchen top play or FNM. I hope this helps and all the cards I suggested are within the $.25-$1.00 range so they are more than affordable upgrades. Not every ones got the money for four blood barons or four ghost councils ...lololololol
I don't see how this is a budget deck if you have to spend over 30 bucks... half of the budget deck shouldn't be rares. Add some basilica screechers, tithe drinkers, thrull parasites to lower the cost but keep it a stable standard deck.
I would definitely put in the Burning Tree Emissaries as a main board and add satyr hedonist for the mana ramp. That way you can cut down your land to 18-20 and have more room for other creatures. Also I would add in Rubblehulk and the Wasteland Viper. Besides the Hedonists if you want to add more big creatures take a look at Polis Crusher for its monstrosity. Overall its a fun deck to use and I hope you have a lot of great match ups with it. :)
I have my own black white deck and I found that putting in some unmakes even if it is sideboard does spice things up nicely. If you want to keep the vampiric theme I would add 2 sanguine bonds in your main board if you can fit it. For more side board removal I would add mortify and killing wave. Hope that helps good luck on creating this deck black/white decks FTW!!!! :)
I love black white life gain as i have my own casual version of the deck. However for this type of deck i would try to focus all your cards on the extort mechanic and try to gain as much life as possible while draining theirs. I would remove the dutiful thrull and high priest of penance. I would add in 2 more syndic of tithes, 1 trull parasite, 1 obzedat ghost council and 2 treasury thrulls. I would also switch out 4 beckon apparition for the tragic slip so you can have some removal. Overall a very solid deck can't wait to see what else you come up with! :)
