I wanted to try a W/B and thought extort would be something I could work around.
Primary goal is to get out Crypt Ghast as soon as possible. Extort as many times as you can. Make use of one of the late game finishers when the game starts dragging.

If I wasn't on my tablet I'd try and give you a lot of help with this.I love the extort ability but I feel this deck needs the fat trimmed a little. You want to get things like tithe drinker, blind obedience cheap cards with the extort mechanic., run three or four of each. then if extort is going to be your main mechanic run four pridemates. Then find really cheap spells to proc extort that will benefit you. Like brave the elements or gods willing. Run it kind of like a heroic deck. Gift of orzhova will also help. A 7/7 pridemate with flying and life link can be a big threat. Tomorrow at work I'll comment a little more. You can check out my deck Lifepain if you want. Its not per say an extort specific deck but its in there a little bit and its built around life gain.

Alright so with messing around with it, Here's what I havehttp://www.mtgvault.com/horizonblue/decks/orzhov-extort/With my evaluation of extort the way to make the most of it is to add 1 minimum to the cost of every spell you cast so you can proc the ability. So I kept three crypt ghast in there so later in game if you drop a gods willing, you tap 4 swamp, get four bonus land, hit them for 4 with extort, you can four life, then if you have sanguine bond out since you gained life they take an additional 4 damage. But to my understanding you can only activate extort once per creature/enchantment with extort. So it's a balancing act between creatures with extort to spells that trigger the ability. You could make it work. Do I feel there is a more effective way to utilize a lifegain deck with the money you will spend on this deck? Yes.
I appreciate the replies. I'll look into getting more pridemates for sure. I think you're right about the easy one drops to activate extort as it would help with protecting the somewhat weaker creatures that you see in this deck. I was hesitant at first to throw in tithe drinker as I have mixed feelings about it. It's a great card but is pretty weak. I also had not ever seen blind obedience and will definitely be picking them up and subbing for imposing sovereign. Just also wanted to mention this was made with what I had laying around, but with some additional cards could be a great deck.
