Hello All,I am looking for advice and or suggestions on how to make this deck more competitive. The main goal is to extort my opponent/opponents to death, while gaining life to stay alive during their turns as well as instants to prevent damage overall. I woudl greatly appreciate any and all comments/suggestions on how to make this deck more effective. Thanks in advance.

A Simple Case of Extortion

I've seen this thread many times on TappedOut, and it always makes me a bit sad, because I always have to deliver the same bad news - Extort is not a strong enough mechanic to build a competitive (or even FNM-competitive) Modern deck around. If you like attrition decks in colors, I recommend a look at Smallpox or Eldrazi and Taxes. If you're willing to splash green, Abzan is also a powerful choice.

I agree. Extort will never make it past kitchen table magic. If you really want to try, though, Crypt Ghast is a MUST. take out Pontiff of Blight. also, use things like Path to Exile and Ghostly Prison and Oblivion Ring
