After playing Orzhov in the prerelease this weekend I wanted to build and extort deck. Wanting to stick to Orzhov colors I thought Selenia. Two life and she bounces back to your hand and then you can recast to get your extort trigger again! I threw this together any thoughts would be appreciated.
I disagree with Blood Clock. It either costs your opponents a measly 2 life, or it enables them to recast ETB abilities (Eternal Witness) over and over again, which is very bad. If you're extorting often with a few players, I highly recommend 3 things: a low overall mana curve, Slaughter, and Scuttlemutt.
Can't help but think that, especially since most WB will play well with sacrifice and recursion, that Corpse Dance (cheaply/continually buying back and recasting) would be an auto include. Throw in Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar to make multiple uses cheaper.
Su-Chi could possibly have some use here too. Gravecrawler would be pretty cool if you were heavy on zoms.

Exquisite Blood.
Sanguine Bond.
If you want to use the High Priest of Penance, you need an enabler of some sort.
Blasting Station for damage and Darksteel Plate for indestructability = Fun times
Good thing...
Any of those cards can be recurred with Sun Titan. He should be an autoinclude here. He also returns half of your extort guys.
Wall of Omens for card draw and defense.
Depending on your build, more agressive or more defense, you could also add Souls of the Faultless or Wall of Reverence.
Xhiaou Dun is beautiful to get back any of your black cards in your grave.
EDIT:
Also the new Obzedat, Ghost Council might be a good fit to the drain effects.
Use Sword of Light and Shadow for more grave recursion of your creatures might also be a good idea

Thank you for this sig image @myself
Well of Lost Dreams: Transforms Extort into 1:symbw:: Opponent loses 1 life, you gain 1 life, draw a card.
Necropotence, Phyrexian Arena, Greed to draw some cards.
Blood Clock is a possibility if you're going for a long tempo game.
Brush with Death gives you life drain with extort triggers.
Aside from Exsanguinate, Blood Agony, Hatred, Demon of Death's Gate, Glacial Chasm, Grimclaw Bats, Minion of the Wastes, Phyrexian Reclamation all seem good.
Su-Chi could possibly have some use here too.
Gravecrawler would be pretty cool if you were heavy on zoms.
Maybe some other buyback spell like Disturbed Burial
or Brood of Cockroaches
