I'm looking to make a sort of EDH version of death and taxes. I don't wanna go full on prison deck because that'll get boring too quickly, and I'd run Oloro if I was gonna do that anyways. But every creature should offer an incremental advantage, and the Athreos trigger is just a bonus. I'm looking to slowly leech away their life for the most part and gain quite a bit of my own (mostly so I can use it to pay for abilities).

So I'm looking for things that give me gradual advantages (ETB and LTB triggers are huge here), whittle down their life total, and are a decent air presence (I've seen too many players die to a flying commander to be comfortable without one).
