Hi . i recently bought some packs from the ravnica set and got quite a lot of orzhov mythic and rare cards.
I'm a little curious to build a deck arround it now . But since i have no experience with this colors i have no idea how i should build my deck .
This should get you somewhere You can fill in the gaps and make adjustments for your preferences on removal, card draw, and beaters. Personally, I also favor Whip of Erebos, Celestial Flare and Read the Bones in the maindeck.

Crypt Ghast would be a thought too. Banisher Priest This helps as a spot removal Gray Merchant of Asphodel This is possible if you have many black mana cards Hundred-Handed Oneimagine blocking all 100 of their dudes Imposing Sovereignnothing is a larger **** block than this Nightveil Specterthere is nothing better like your deck is now my deck that brings a smile to my face Slitherheadgood one drop that can give a free +1/+1 Soldier of the Pantheonawesome sideboard car for the one drop Spiteful ReturnedThis is a must have, bestow this on your attacking creature and watch your opponents life drizzle away. It has won me games.
These are the cards i found by just browsing through the colors
If you can stabilize and attack with lifelink creatures or just punishing with obzedat, having a sanguine bond out is good (doubles gray merchant effect and obzedats as well). Gift of Orzhova of course grants lifelink to a smaller guy and possibly secures banisher priest on the battlefield longer.
Some people manage to make Alms Beast work really well as a 6/6 beater, so in a controlly build might be able to make good use of him. Obzedat is a star.
Also High Preist of Penance is a decent card. Most people don't run him, but he actually makes a decent wall purely because a lot of people won't want they're big threats to hit him (unfortunatly he hates Soldier of the pantheon). Orzhov colors in general are strong because they have the biggest pool of removal and answers

In my experience, the High Priest is better against fatties and other mid-range creature decks. Against control and combo and the like, he does little, so I'd consider him sideboard material. I mean, he can trade with Polukranos, but what will he do against Aetherling?

That's pretty much it (also pithing needle btw). Also if you want to get into control matchups, he stalls well against Elspeth.
