This deck is fairly weak. It's not as good as old standard Orzhov decks. It's also unfocused. Are you trying to make this a controlling deck? Or an agro deck like old ghost-husk decks?

First off, remove:

3 Orzhov Guildmage
2 Blind Hunter
2 Nether Traitor
1 Orzhova, the Chourch of Deals

Then decide whether you want to be aggressive or controlling.. but don't try to be both.

Then look up old "Hand in Hand" or "Ghost Husk" decks for ideas.

Personally I believe that ghost husk will be VERY good after rotation.....something like

3 plagued rusalka
3 Isamaru
4 Savannah Lions
4 Dark Confidant
4 Nantuko Husk
4 Orzhov Pontiff
1 Ghost Council of Orzhova
1 Tesya Orzhov Scion

4 Promise of Bunrei
3 Chrome Mox
4 Shining Shoal
3 Umezawa's Jitte

Very rough draft but a monster non the less.

THAT deck was a beast. +_+

Tarmogoyf makes the deck obsolete. It sucks but its true. I played it mucho pre-goyf. You could add tarmogoyf, but it makes the mana base much more sticky.

doesn't onslaught rotate as well? if not play 4 smother maindeck.

onslaught does not rotate right away, smother could easily be in shoal slot, but shoal is good vs all the red decks....possibly sb..........

PS- goyf doesn't wreck this deck at all....it can easily outmanuever goyf all day............
