Object of Deck is to extort as much as possible on every spell. Middle-Low mana curve help ensures that there will be exponentially more mana to use for extortion earlier on.

Every creature has extort and loads of low cost removal to maximize extortion.

Added in comparitivly higher costing cards like Pontiff of Blight, Treasury Thrull, and Sunbond if the match goes into late-game. Crypt Ghast helps balance out their cost.

Beyond the Deck-wide extortion combo, here are some good combinations:Sunbond + Tithe Drinker Gift of Orzhova + Sunbond Solemn Offering + Sunbond every other enchantment + Ethereal ArmorCrypt Ghast + Pontiff of Blight

Sideboard:More specific removal, hand control, and Sanguine Bond which just sounds plain ol' fun.
