But then I got to looking and saw Extort. I was going to play with the Blind Obedience because it has uses. But then I added Thrull Parasite and it came through vs Tron. He had just exiled my Concealed Courtyard and I had three Thrull on the bf. They killed Karn. Lolled so hard.
Anyway, it's been fun. May need more self discard but it's not as important as it was with Fiery Temper and Alms.
I'll probably take out Tithe Drinker for some discard to help vs combo. May also put in some Disenchant or Leyline of Sanctity in the sb. I don't know.
Honestly, the deck is 1 decent drain effect from being any good (hence the use of extort) but I did beat UW Control and Tron.
It can get stupid. I discarded an Alms to Liliana with three extort triggers for 12 point swing. Next game I Collective Brutality an Alms with two extort for 14 point swing.
I let whatever attack into me and save my kill spells for lifegain. Haven't seen Sisters yet otherwise I'll be adding Vizkopa Guildmage. (no i won't).
Any thoughts, they're welcome. It's not really competitive but it's fun af.

Thanks and no I haven't tried any of that because I've mostly been working on the BR version. I haven't been going too deep on the mid-range just because I was hoping to trigger Extort a few times a turn. Biggest issue has been the draws. It needs more. Maybe cheap cantrips but then you're weakening the deck and playing cards that aren't really that good on their own. (not saying the creatures are to begin with).
I may get away from Extort and go with value lifelink creatures, Seeker of the Way being one of them.
It was a thought.

So, I was thinking of a burn deck that keeps you alive.
The Core: Sovereign's Bite, Alms of the Vein, Collective Brutality
At first, I jumped in red for Fiery Temper, Lightning Bolt, Faithless Looting (madness) and dabbed with Vexing Devil and Hellspark Elemental for sneaky damage. Beat 2 burn decks and that's all I cared about. Then, added white for Lightning Helix for another drain effect.
White opened me up to some other drain cards: Kambal, Consul of Allocation and Souls of the Faultless. Sideboard cards vs control or creature based decks.
But then I got to looking and saw Extort. I was going to play with the Blind Obedience because it has uses. But then I added Thrull Parasite and it came through vs Tron. He had just exiled my Concealed Courtyard and I had three Thrull on the bf. They killed Karn. Lolled so hard.

The idea.
