Extort is a keyword introduced in Gatecrash, wherein it is the Orzhov Syndicate guild mechanic.[2] It allows players to pay additional {W} or {B} for spells they cast and create a small life-draining effect.

Rules

From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

  • 702.101. Extort
    • 702.101a Extort is a triggered ability. “Extort” means “Whenever you cast a spell, you may pay {W/B}. If you do, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain life equal to the total life lost this way.”
    • 702.101b If a permanent has multiple instances of extort, each triggers separately.

From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

Extort
A keyword ability that lets you gain life and have opponents lose life whenever you cast a spell. See rule 702.101, “Extort.”

Rulings

  • You may pay Template:Bw a maximum of one time for each extort triggered ability. You decide whether to pay when the ability resolves.
  • The amount of life you gain is based on the total amount of life lost, not necessarily the number of opponents you have. For example, if your opponent's life total can't change (perhaps because that player controls Platinum Emperion), you won't gain any life.
  • The extort ability doesn't target any player.
  • The hybrid white-black mana symbol does not change the card's colour identity.
