Last pick.

@lorendorky
"Last pick."

Nope.

I see this card working in a Dimir deck more, especially if you use heartless summoning.

Would have made more sense with 2 power and 3 toughness, but he's still a fine card.

3/2 for 4 is decent for a common, and in black. Extort is a nice keyword, too. This guy's liable to earn you an extra 4-6 life advantage for racing.

@ Marmaris

Nope.

Syndic of Tithes. This costs 2 more in the same guild and with the same keyword... for +1/+0.

Yep. Not so good. 1/5, though it's saved from being a 0.5/5 because it's at least decent in Limited.

He's holding a Tooth of Chiss-Goria. 5/5

It would make this card more flavorful and more playable if it had first strike.

Also, @Continue, one thing is that extort much stronger in Dimir than Boros, due to being allowed to be used with ciphered spells, and Dimir is more lategame so can afford to use the enforcer much more easily.

I also played Orzhov at the prerelease and, in general, was more satisfied than I had expected to be with this guy.

There are a few situations you want to play this in limited, and here they are:

-Your opponent is dimir and you need a rogue to block a Deathcult Rogue
-You want to make this guy unblockable via Shadow Alley Denizen or an evasive enchantment, and therefore you value the extra power over just playing a Balustrade Spy.

Overall there are very few reasons to put this in your limited deck, unless you are short of playables. Power is short in black, so I guess with 3 power you can trade more often, which could be good when playing cards that depend on your opponent having a populated graveyard.

Would have been too good?
