Deck discussion for Extort control

Shiiiiiit this deck is only 4.06 at the cheapest hahahaha nicely done!!! This deck also just looks brutal. I loooove blind obedience.
My only suggestion would be to do exactly what you did..maybe put dawn charm in place of orzhov charm...maybe...

This deck looks really well put together though. Definite +1 here.

The only reason I have orzhov charm in atm, is because of the creature destruction, I was thinking of adding 2 of the dawn charm and dash hopes in its place,

For the spells you use as creature destruction I will always suggest you keep 3-4 of them, just a reliability kinda thing..
But seriously, solid deck, I'd hate to be the aggro deck trying to bear down against this. Anything aside of a really well built midrange-control deck would have one hell of a hard time squaring up against you. I'd scoop turn 4 once I realized I just don't stand a chance.

...in fact, unless I'm playing a similar deck, knowing full well what your deck does, I'd say the game would be decided on who goes first hahaha

Good to know this deck goes in the right way, I might just try to grab 2-3 of them just for the sideboard, incase my friend decides to play a mill/burn deck instead of creature deck.

Dawn charm is perfect for that, use it at the right moment and you'll have the upper hand. As you know, mill decks are all about momentum, if you can stop that then you win.

Do you think throwing in 2 blood barons would be good? most likely into the sideboard, but as a finisher with the life gain and the chalice, making him an easy 10/10. and if they cant any creatures out to combat him, there wouldn't be much of a way to stop him.

He is pretty terrifying, but his parameters are strict, if you think it could work I'd say go for it haha it'd be a good addition to this deck for sure. I'd recommend play testing a bit before actually putting that into action, you may just lock down your opponent so much with all the discard that they just can't do anything anyway haha

I'm thinking of ignoring him, and adding in liliana's caress or megrim , since I have a few already, would work well with the extort plus the low mana discards.

Liliana's caress is brutal. I've never actually built a deck that's focused around killing by discarding so I'm a little rusty on what cards work best...but you've got it. Hahaha I'd hate to have to play against this one, all my irl decks are either midrange-control or aggro-combo...and you'll beat me almost every time with this

I used to have a red/black discard, based around caress and megrim, and cards like blightning and rakdos' return

That sounds pretty legit. Do you have that one up here?

Also maybe think about curtain of light for this deck..it'd put an extra lock for that rogue creature that your opponent somehow manages to play

I haven't posted it, and pulled it apart IRL, I couldn't manage to balance the red and black evenly , since I dont have as many red discard cards as I do black ones, or I had too many multicolor ones with big costs, like sire of insanity.

And that is the reason I put basilica guards instead of things like screacher or syndic of tithes, for the defender and better toughness

Yeah I get what you mean. One thing you'll learn after you play a lot is that you don't really have to balance the colors at all, the whole reason for adding other colors is to compensate for when one color lets up, black has superior card control and can take away a lot of life that way, but for that last three life standing between you and victory a good ol lightning bolt is perfect, don't give up on that plan, just revisit it in a little bit.

I also made a Duel deck set, mostly for a joke, you can tell easily why when you see them

Hahahaha those are hilarious...it'd actually be interesting to see how that game turns out. It'd probably come down to who got to go first lol

For some reason I really like cards like Knight of Infamy, White knight and such. They just seem fun

Ok, I made a few more decks, but I can't decide which I want to get, my budget opened a little bit more, so the ones without obvious costly cards, I could mostly likely get 2 of, which do you think would work best, or be the most fun?

http://www.mtgvault.com/khzfrost/decks/the-236/ Similar idea, but more expensive, and based around gideon
http://www.mtgvault.com/khzfrost/decks/bud/ Typical budget warrior deck
http://www.mtgvault.com/khzfrost/decks/good-sac/ Sacrifice deck, I have one IRL, but not like this
http://www.mtgvault.com/khzfrost/decks/manifest-eldrazi/ Pretty easy to figure out

Sorry if this is kind of spammy or anything, I'm just not good at picking.
