Get Atreos out as soon as you can, play creatures with extort, start extorting. If your creatures die, Athreos makes them pay 3 life or they go back to your hand.

It's meant to be more fun and annoying than competitive. I need some sac outlets though, Phyrexian Altar, Carnage Altar, Ashnod's altar, ETC..

I also need Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood to make this a deck that wins regularly, but it's still fun to play.

Add more W/B mana ramp so you can extort more when you play spells

Like I said above, this is meant to be more fun/annoying. Most of my best B stuff in in my Prossh and Grimgrin decks.

I'm weird, I guess, because when I build decks, I use only what I have on hand. If there's something I desperately need to make a deck run ridiculously better I'll go get it, but only if it's under $5. Every $ intensive card I own was a pull from a booster box, fat pack or holiday box. I.E.: my Zurgo deck. I don't run Damnation because it's $60 card, while being awesome, it wouldn't make Zurgo run significantly better if I had it.
