Orzhov Syndicate

Commander / EDH*

I recently read through some lore for the Orzhov Syndicate and I became interested in deviating from my normal play-style. Since the Orzhov Syndicate doesn't need a macho strong-man army neither should this deck.

Please throw in suggestions!

The time is nigh brethren. Long have our doors stood open allowing the filth to waft within. It is time for a cleasing, to rid ourselves of those that would bring our riches to rot! Come forth that ye shall remain pure in the eyes of the divine and proclaim your devotion to the Church of Orzhova!
It's time for the sinners to pay their debts. Their souls will be washed clean as the blood from their tunics. Obzedat, Ghost Council will show the less devout what it means to truly tithe, and the consequences of those who do not. Together with Karlov of the Ghost Council , and Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts , all will know fealty.
That's enough of that. Long story short I got tired of making decks based on powerful creatures and swinging to win. I knew I liked for the shenanigans and that it didn't need powerhouse beefknuckles to win a game. To keep it interesting I chose cards that were related to the Orzhov Syndicate in some way. I found the lore interesting and creepy so it had to be done.

Starting us off, the Orzhov Syndicate is all about having debts repayed. Everyone owes the Syndicate something. In the deck we have cards such as Ghostly Prison , and Norn's Annex . These cards fit the theme of tithing or the more popular term of taxing.

Since we aren't always focusing on combat we need another way to deal with opponents. To do this we'll add effects that drain; Debt to the Deathless , Pontiff of Blight . Some that benefit from opponents' actions; Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts , Smothering Tithe . And, since we deal with the dead, some graveyard interaction; Oversold Cemetery , and Army of the Damned ought to do well.
