Questions and Answers:

Play Testing of Version 11a Revealed:
Version 11a:
11a is effective, however it moved to far away from the original intention and became slow and cumbersome to play. Versus version 8's "Agro-Tort".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The debate:
Smite was removed from this version all together as the point is Lifelink and Extort. smite circumvents the decks intention thus removed.

Exquisite Blood =/= Rhox Faith Mender?
This is a debate I am feeling out. I'm not sure. Exquisite is Opponent Loss of Life, Rhox is simply if i Gain life. So I can block with a Tithe Drinker and gain 4.

If I remove Exquisite Blood I am looking at Cathars' Crusade. As a potential replacement. Thus why it sits in the Sideboard as a forget-me-not.

How to Play

RULE#1 DO NOT PLAY THE CURVE.
Example of RULE#1:
If you have 4 mana and 1 extort trigger on the field then you only have 3 available mana to use. So get over it cast what you can and extort it. ALWAYS
BLEED THEM DRY AT EVERY CHANCE.

RULE#2: Ramp into Pontiff and Blood Baron using Crypt Ghast, , extort the spells always and always follow RULE#1.

RULE#3: Two Pontiffs means each creature has TWO extort triggers. E.G. Each Creatures full potential costs at minimum 2 mana. A screecher with 1 pontiff on the field has two extort triggers; with two Pontiffs? 3 triggers.

RULE#4: Use Ready // Willing (Willing) on your opponents turn after they declare combat. Rarely a situation will arise in which you will need to use this as an offensive spell. One "Willing" and they will be hesitant to attack you again if you have 3 mana open. So try to use that to your advantage.

RULE#5: If unsure... Read Rule #1
