Simple deck working out the extort mechanism.

How to Play

Not much of a strategy here. If you can manage to keep your archangel alive you'll find a very good use for your extort ability.

Deck discussion for extort

Have you considered using Duress instead of Thoughtseize?

Actually I find Thoughtseize to be way more powerful than Duress. The loss of lifepoints should be a minor drawback in a deck like this.

You could use both duress and thought seize, that way later in the game you have an extra mana to use on extort and pump.

I have a similar deck but built specifically to ramp up and abuse extort as much as possible.
