Basilica Screecher
Creature — Bat
Flying Extort (Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay {W/B}. If you do, each opponent loses one life and you gain that much life.)

The deck is saying it’s not legal because of Basilica Screecher. You can’t run Extort in a deck without Black and White sadly.

Hi, passing by to add my two cents as I found these cards that have similar mechanics:
Vengeful Strangler  Flip: I like this one as it is an assured 2 hp each turn unless blocked (thus killed) and therefore attached to potentially some high value creature or planeswalker. Perhaps Basilica Screecher could be replaced/mixed with this.
Combustible Gearhulk: kinda expensive but with a similar mechanic as Sin Prodder.
Creeping Chill: good synergy with Combustible Gearhulk, but otherwise kind of bad imo (perhaps only worth ituseful against milling decks?).

Step 1: Cast Worldfire.
Step 2: With Worldfire on the stack, activate ability of either: Blisterspit Gremlin, Brimstone Trebuchet, Lightning-Rig Crew, Lobber Crew, Nettle Drone or Thermo-Alchemist.
Step 3: With ability and Worldfire on the stack, cast either: Dualcaster Mage, Fork, Fury Storm, Increasing Vengeance, Reiterate, Reverberate or Wild Ricochet targeting Worldfire.
Off-color options: Basilica Guards, Basilica Screecher, Blind Obedience, Crypt Ghast, Kingpin's Pet, Syndic of Tithes, Thrull Parasite, Tithe Drinker, Witherbloom Apprentice, Refuse / Cooperate, Insidious Will, Narset's Reversal, Twincast, Naru Meha, Master Wizard.
(This is by no means an exhaustive list, it just happens to be the best mana-cost effective cards I could find.)

Basilica Screecher and Thrull Parasite are cheap and can provide a lot of life pings (or any of the bigger extort cards, I see you have the Crypt Ghast there already).
Aspect of Mongoose if you need to protect your boss. Dark Ritual to get him out sooner.

Have you thought about extort cards? Like Basilica Screecher or Tithe Drinker ?

Okay fellas LordBlackblade multimedia - I've made another big update. A few followup questions but I think I'm close
Here's what I've decided/sacrificed out for now:
-
Deathgreeter - Already have blood artist added, decided to cut for now
-
Divinity of Pride - Left it out as I added Serra & Walking Ballista, also very high CMC
-
Generous Gift - Better removals in the deck, so did not add
-
Necropotence - Pure $ call, deck is already getting up there
-
Extort Cards (i.e. Thrull Parasite, Basilica Screecher, Tithe Drinker) - I want to keep these for now as I like having that as an additional source of LG, especially because I've added more low CMC in this update
-
Spirit Loop - I think too much value and makes Karlov too scary, the return to hand is delicious.
-
Swords to Plowshares - Left this out purely to make sure I have enough mana.
I think now what I am gonna do is play test this a LOT to see if it balances well before I cough up the $
P.S. Guys - I can't thank you enough. This has been such a cool experience. You guys have put so much effort into this.
If you'd like to catch a remote game, I have been playing games on the PlayEDH server on Discord, my username is RageRoo182#8105, feel free to add me if you'd like to play a game!

Well, here's how I would do this deck (since I already did!): Karlov's Tithes
Jokes aside, here's what I would do with your current list:
-
For the lands, I would just turn them into basics. I'm sorry if I gave the impression you should actually cut lands, what I meant was run different lands in those slots. In a two color deck like this, fixing shouldn't really be an issue often, if ever.
-
Specifically, I would put in three Plains and two Swamp to keep your lands balanced. In addition, I might add maybe two more lands bringing your total to 35. You might be able to get away with 33, but that is a little light for my personal tastes.
Looking at what you want to add, we need to make 12 cuts (which is a lot) but here's what I would cut (starting with the easiest cuts and getting murkier as we go):
-
Armillary Sphere - This fixes your colors, but doesn't ramp you. I would personally run any other ramp over this.
-
Fountain of Renewal - I get where you're coming from with this; however, it is just too slow.
-
Tablet of the Guilds - The issue with this one is how many spells you are going to cast. Orzhov doesn't ramp super well, you're probably going to be casting one, maybe two spells per turn, making this ever so slightly better than Fountain of Renewal.
-
Thrull Parasite - See Tablet of the Guilds. My biggest concerns with extort are A) How many spells will you cast each turn? and B) Will you have enough mana to consistently pay for extort.
-
Tithe Drinker - See Thrull Parasite.
-
Spirit Loop - I also see where you are going with this. For an aura it's not bad, but I also don't think it is as impactful as some of our adds
-
Orzhov Cluestone - Just an okay rock. I usually avoid ramp that costs more than two mana
-
Hedron Archive - See Orzhov Cluestone. Also your deck is pretty color rich (Orzhov decks usually are), so colorless mana doesn't get you as far as it would in other decks
-
Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord - His effect is not bad; however, you will rarely have sufficient boardstate to protect him, in my opinion.
-
Underworld Connections - Card draw is good. That said, experience has taught me that burst card draw a la Syphon Mind trumps incremental advantage in a wide variety of cases
-
Heliod's Intervention - I like the versatility and instant speed of this. I considered it for my own deck at one point. Unfortunately in EDH you can't run everything so sometimes you have to cut decent cards to make room for more decent cards!
