Questions and Answers:
So what was really added for Orzhov in DGM?
Orzhov Guilds Ability is of course Extort. The problem with extort for this block so far has been getting enough triggers on the table to make it truly viable. Crypt Ghast ramping you into a Pontiff of Blight, makes Teysa, Beckon Apparition and Lingering Souls provided 1/1 Spirit Tokens incredible. 1/1 fliers with extort.

The fact that there are now cards like Debt to the Deathless (Double-Action Drain Life for 4 and x *Drain life was for X 1&B* ) , Tithe Drinker, that makes sending Syndic of tithes back to the binder easy, Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts, and the absolute VIP of Orzhov in standard .... Pontiff of Blight. HOW Blood Baron got Mythic over this guy is beyond me. GG WoTC GG.

Play Testing of Version 8 Revealed:
Version 8:
Played splendidly. Mana was right all night, Draw was right, I stayed above 22HP every match I won.

How to Play

14 initial extort creatures.
Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts can create additional but do not count on it.
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad can create additional but do not count on it.

Killing Wave as much and for as much as possible while not playing the curve and extorting it and for that matter every other spell for as much as possible ALWAYS.

RULE#1 DO NOT PLAY THE CURVE.
Example of RULE#1:
If you have 4 mana and 1 extort trigger on the field then you only have 3 available mana to use. So get over it cast what you can and extort it. ALWAYS

I have tragic slipped my own screecher for -1/-1 to get four extort out of it on my end step. Then on opponents upkeep did it again for two more extort.
BLEED THEM DRY AT EVERY CHANCE.

RULE#2: Ramp into Pontiff and Teysa using Crypt Ghast, Sorin Tokins and emblem out. extort the spells always, Utilize your new spirits to extort the lingering souls or beckon apparition spirits coming in and always follow RULE#1.

RULE#3: Two Pontiffs means each creature has TWO extort triggers. E.G. Each Creatures full potential costs at minimum 2 mana. A screecher with 1 pontiff on the field has two extort triggers; with two Pontiffs? 3 triggers.

RULE#4: If unsure... Read Rule #1
