Deck discussion for Dying Shades v.6

Seems like a pretty solid deck! I like all the life gain, especially. I've always wanted to experiment with Extort, and it seems to have worked out well for you. One suggestion; why not put a few Sanguine Bond cards in there? It would work better than Vizkopa Guildmage, as far as I can tell. But perhaps you have your reasons. Overall, I really like it, so good luck to you!

Most likely because Sanguine bond is non standard. Looks like a fun deck. Love Orzhov and the extort mechanic.

If Exquisite Blood is a pivotal part of your combo, why only run one?

This version of the deck contains a single Exquisite Blood, as the infinite combo is not the primary kill mechanic. However, The upcoming version 7 will have main deck plus side board that allows you to literally change out the entire mechanic of the deck.

The principle kill mech for versions 1-6 have been the Shades Ability to pump with Dying Wish on them or the use of essence harvest. and eventually came using extort to tax your opponent piece by piece.
