A group-hug list built around the walking Drain Power that is Pygmy Hippo

If cruel opponents are ruining all your fun with strategic tapping of their lands, the Awakening + Upwelling combo makes sure you get all the mana you need.

Also mana doublers phrased like Dictate of Karametra allow you to steal double mana, which is nice.
