My very first EDH deck!

I wanted to build a commander deck for one of my favourite colour-combos, and getting a lot of Ayli cards in OGW led me to her. As a cheap-costing Commander, she works well, and there is enough synergy among the cards within the deck that it doesn't usually need her to be out. Another inspiration for this deck was an Orzhov deck that I'd built for Standard back in the day, using a lot of Extort to drain and gain. Overall, I really like this sort of deck, though it generally doesn't make me a popular player at the table. It's much better in 1v1 due to a lot of targeted effects, so I'm looking to increase the reach of the deck over time, while keeping cards in the Modern card frame.
