We say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence but I am betting you could create ordinary claims about the supernatural that require extraordinary evidence.

Example: the deist god could make a four sided triangle.

Any claim that asserts that the supernatural exists is automatically extraordinary, since there has never been any evidence that the supernatural exists. It assumes an entirely new component to the universe.
