No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Orzhov Standard (Need Help)

First, cut it down to 60 cards, with 23 - 24 land. You want to make an extort deck? Focus on that, keep some removal, but get rid of stuff that will not help you extort your opponent.

Hmm, I would like to help. Could you give me a little more info on what you want this deck to be? More control? Are there any cards you need in this deck in particular?

I wanted it to be extort with some removal. I need the blind obedience and the treasury thrul and would be nice if I kept the teysa for removal. Thanks!

OK Here goes. This is my deck list for you. This deck is catered to fit your requirements.

Artifact (2)
2x Orzhov Keyrune

Creature (22)
4xBasilica Guards
4xBasilica Screecher
4xDutiful Thrull
1xTeysa, Envoy of Ghosts
4xTrained Caracal
2xTreasury Thrull
3xVizkopa Guildmage

Enchantment (14)
3xBlind Obedience
3xEthereal Armor
4xOblivion Ring
4xPacifism

I don't have the land count but it should be more Plains than Swamps. If you are really crazy about Blind Obedience, feel free to put in one more for an Ethereal Armor. Unlike my Extort deck, this deck should do better against faster decks. You should play very defensively and save your control cards for creatures with flying. If you want to know why I didn't include certain cards, read on. Otherwise stop here.

Didn't include
----------------
Jayemdae Tome - To expensive Mana Wise
Guardian Lions - To expensive Mana Wise
Knight of Obligation - To expensive Mana Wise
Syndicate Enforcer - To expensive Mana Wise
Debt to the Deathless - To expensive Mana Wise
Merciless Eviction - To expensive Mana Wise
Purge the Profane - To expensive Mana Wise
High Priest of Penance - Prefer Oblivion Ring
Kingpin's Pet - Prefer Basilica Screecher - One less mana for only one less power.
One Thousand Lashes - Prefer Stab Wound. In fact, you may want to main board it. Won Countless games from it.
Angelic Edict - Prefer Oblivion Ring

The rest didn't really help the strategy or should be side-boarded.
Consider Blood Baron of Vizkopa, really hard to deal with.

Sorry it took so long to reply :)

take a look at my Extort Deck if you have the time.

Basically keep your opponent from doing anything until you get two or three extort creatures. Then you use extort on your opponents until they die. There are plenty of answers to whatever is thrown at you. All you have to do is react accordingly. If you can get your opponent to stop attacking then you pretty much win. Stall as much as you can. Then when they run out of options just slowly pick away at there life until they die.

p.s. One of the best ways to win with an extort deck is to watch him many cards your opponent(s) have. Generally you should never have less cards in your hand than your opposition.

p.p.s. If you don't hear them sigh or grumble even once, you're doing it wrong.

Ditch The Smog Elemental And TheOtherGuysFrom The Box For For Thrull Parasites. Run As Many LowCost Extorters As You Can And Lower It To 60-62 And 24 Land.

I Would Toss The Teysa And The Edicts. Lose The Rain Of Blades. And The Guardian Lions. In My.Orzhov Deck I Run.Three Murders And Several Soul Tithe As It Helps Keep The Enemy Preoccupied In Summoning New Creatures To Deal With The Torrent Of Extort Damage That You Are Hitting Them With.

Yes Soul Tithe is actually a really nice card to consider putting in. My only advise is to use it mid game. Use it too early and they'll let the permanent go. Use it too late and they may prefer to keep whatever monstrosity they have. Besides they probably won't have as many cards in their hand left to play.
