running at least 2 of this in any deck i can rationalize white - too good of an effect to allow opponent to play one removal and think they don't have to worry about it anymore.
great against aggro, great for aggro too
extort is really the icing on the cake

@ParishInquisitor: But you can't play this in Gwafa. It's got black mana symbols....

FUN FACT TIME
Extort is a dual ability that appears equally in both black and white, like first strike is dual colored ability that appears equally in both white and red. (see boros recruit, Tundra Wolves, Striking Sliver) In fact there's no reason at all it should say "pay w/b", since only white and black cards have the cost... It should have just been printed as "pay an extra 1,..." Except for one reason:
Mark Rosewater specifically requested the design team to make Extort have the hybrid w/b cost in it so that extort cards could only be used in white AND black EDH decks, not one or the other.
Or, more accurately, he designed it so that the people in charge of the EDH format would remove the ridiculous (in his mind) rule that hybrid cards can't be played in mono colored EDH decks. In Magic Design, Hybrids are cards that can fit into either of the colors it is (for example, Merfolk of th... (see all)

I would say, on average, the large majority of players have very litte destroy-enchantment spells. Now they may reconsider.
Two-mana card slot, ahoy!

A perfect addition to any extort deck, Orzhov deck or any one with Ethereal Armor since it affords you extra chances to attack without worry and enchantment +1/+1's. Use Gift of Orzhova too, cause i said so. Oh, and don't forget One-thousand Lashes for more lockdown.
Love this card, the cost, the name, the extort, the card type and the art... 5/5 for sure.
Whoa aggro decks, we like to take it slow(or just faster than you). :P

Awesome card and the fact that its mono colored makes it more versatile. Stoked to unwrap one of these! 5/5

I can see a Boros deck running this actually to get in for extra points. Cheap enough to work in a lot of decks, with an ability most of them want. I really like this card.
