so, Extort is 'legal in mono-black EDH' -
this has potential to be fun- not too broken, but incremental life loss/gain plus mana machine is awesome.
just don't add Sanguine Bond of Exquisite Blood...
or, well, do it!

I had a guy make this line of play against me:
T2: Heartless Summoning
T3: Crypt Ghast
T4: Griselbrand
He had mana left over. He could have afforded to not make his T3 or T4 land drop.

I was lucky enough to get this guy in one of my packs at the prerelease when I was playing Orzhov. I put him in my deck but really didn't register that he was particularly good until I played him my first round when I was down to 2 life against a boros/gruul deck. I so hadn't recognized his worth that I didn't play him the until the second or third turn I had the 4 lands. But as soon as I had him down along with two other extort dudes, the game immediately reversed. Literally any spell I drew was welcome--even 1/1s that normally have no effect in the late game. And since I had so much mana from this guy I could always extort. In no time I was back up to 20 life and had the round.
I learned thehard way in other rounds never want to attack with him against anyone with any creatures or open mana, but sitting back this guy is a beating.

Went to the pre-release and bought into 4 of the events for the decks then left. Yeah, i'm nuts. I got two of these guys. One promptly went into my black mono black EDH, the other will also be used.
And never-mind being able to use it in mono black edh...it can run in any edh deck with black, period : ). The same is true for the white cards with the mechanic.

And now I'm going to annoy people by running it in my relatively mediocre red/black Kamigawa spirit deck.
BWUHAHAHAHAHAH
However, it's nice feeding mana to Jiwari's ability though.

All I can come up with for this in standard is Diabolic Revelation for 5.
