My Orzhov Control modified with the powerhouses of standard. I didnt have the money originally but i figured if i was going all out, I had to go ALL out, lol.
spot removal and control to get the beat sticks through or Elspeth FTW. this deck has yet to be playtested as i cant get elspeth and brimaz till the 27th, so any tips or helpful ideas would be much appreciated. thanks in advance!

Since your going all out remove the Orzhov Guildgate and grab a playset of Godless Shrine. Also add a Sideboard with stuff like Dark Betrayal, Deidcide, maybe Glare of Heresy, and Ultimate Price. Otherwise deck looks like a normal B/W Midrange control deck, Good Luck.

I would get the shocklands, but i dont want to spend 54$ right before they cycle. Even Obzedat im not buying for that reason, I'm borrowing them from a friend. I have some dark betrayal and Ultimate price for my sideboard along with some Drown in Sorrow, but i definitely do still need Deicide to help with enchantments since i won't have my banishing lights anymore.
Yeah good call on not getting Shock Lands, I'm keeping my deck light on M14/RTR for that same reason. Considered Unknown Shores? That could work in the place of the Gates. Oh and I'd say move up Doom Blade to 3 but sideboard them and run 3 Ultimate Price in as your normal.
The shock lands are still legal until the next set which isn't until late October or early November. Even after you can use them for Modern.
ya, they're legel till september 26th when Khans comes out. i know it owuld help the deck, but i just cant justify that much money on something i wont use for very long. i dont play modern tournamnets just casual modern around campus so thats another reason im iffy on them. @DHamlin, thinking about it, i agree with you on the doomblades, they're good on everything but the mirror/junk but when you do play those guys (which are pretty popular) you end up with several dead draws, whereas ultimate price would still get some value no matter what deck you play against. as for unknown shores, thats seems alright, but id take out either 2 swamps or 2 plains for those, not the guildgates.
Banishing light should be mainboarded, such a powerful card in standard right now.
yup i was just thinking yesterday about replacing the devour flesh with the banishing lights. devour flesh was really good in mono black devotion to get rid of hexproof and indestructable, and even better in MBD-spalsh white with athreos to sac your own gray merchant gain 4 life and play him again (if they dont pay 3, which they will, lol) but in true Orzhov, i don't think it has as much of a place.
Been on break with no computer access for the last few weeks which is why I havn't updated. I went to an FNM with the unfinished version of this deck without two out of three thoughtseize, obzedat, deicide, and the second brimaz. I went 2-3 even with it unfinished and would have gone at least 3-2 if i had had even just deicide out of that list, as one of the rounds I lost was because of mogis and my misunderstanding of the rules around gods leading to bad sideboarding . I sided in extra duress thinking mogis wouldn't be a creature in his hand when he doesn't have the devotion, but apparently it just has to have the creature typing to be unable to be targeted by duress. One of the others I lost was just a bad matchup, selesnya aggro, using fast drops and things like voice and advent to create more pressure. The deck has always had trouble against the fast matchup. On a positive note every round I lost I went at least 1-2 instead of 0-2.
