(Full Ravnica cube - Nassim Ketita)

If there's one guild that's about slowly grinding out your opponent, it's Orzhov. The extort mechanic really drives that point home. Haunt, on the other hand, is a pretty confusing and awkwardly-worded mechanic that I won't be emphasizing all that much, but that doesn't mean Guildpact doesn't offer its fair share of awesome cards.

This is only a couple of cards over the limit, and I actually like the looks of it. There's a nice curve, a good ratio of creatures to spells, and a lot of variety. I'm going to cut Orzhova, the Church of Deals, Orzhov Guildmage, and Pillory of the Sleepless from the above list. The first two are weak and uninteresting. Pillory is cut because of its similarity to One Thousand Lashes—a superior card in my opinion.

Child of Night with upside? Sign me up! Tithe Drinker is pretty amazing and an easy addition to the Cube. The other cards are just the standard huge bombs, which is something this guild was somewhat lacking. I cut Vizkopa Guildmage because like Orzhov Guildmage, it's not very exciting. Deathpact Angel is a card I've been consistently underwhelmed by, and it made sense to cut it for the new late-game cards.
