    My suggestions:


    Heartless summoning really only helps you cast your ONE pontiff, and in the process it prevents you from casting tithe drinker. Try and find something else if you can. 

    I'd replace pillory of sleepless and/or executioner's swing wither either mortify or revoke existence. These are solid removal spells at the same mana cost. I would also suggest replacing smite with something different, such as celestial flare.


    You have SO many lands, you should flip the numbers: 36 nonland, 24 land.


    For ramp (instead of heartless summoning) I would suggest using crypt ghast, it doubles mana produced by your swamps, and it has extort as a bonus. 


    Finally, I'd suggest increasing the numbers of some cards you have here to 4. You're not super likely to draw a card if you only have 1 of it in there, which isn't desireable if you depend on that card.

      How's this? I took out Pontiff of Blight, simply because if all but Obzedat have extort, Pontiff has no reason being there. It'd be cool but takes up a card space for a lot of mana.


      I added in a lot of removal cards, just spells to burn simply to extort, Sanguine Bond really kicks the extort in to high gear if I can get it out.


      What do you think of Kingpin's Pet? Semi-cheap flyer, extort, adds some quick hits. That's really the only reason he's there. Do you think I'd be better off going with four Crypt Ghasts or keep it where it is?


      Also shifted the mana ratio, I like the ratio you put there, might stick with that for future decks.
