Thanks! I'm personally not a huge fan of Syndic of Tithes. I prefer Basilica Screecher and Blind Obedience over Syndic as a two drop. I like having flying bodies out, and Basilica Screecher and Nighthawk together allow me to make some hits outside of extort early on if need be.

Yeah, but Nighthawk gives me a decent enough board presence to fend off attacks while also allowing me to go on the offensive if need be. Not to mention I get at least 4 extort cards out a game haha so getting one extorters out isn't really a problem.
Removal if the opponent decides to attack. Also to act as another thing the opponent has to deal with. He comes out and creature removal is probably gonna be used on him and not one of the Extort-ers. His cost is low enough that if i drop him early-midgame, there's decent odds that I'll be able to extort two or three times. But distraction/occassional removal is his major purpose.
