Boromir, Warden of the Tower
Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
Vigilance
Whenever an opponent casts a spell, if no mana was spent to cast it, counter that spell.
Sacrifice Boromir, Warden of the Tower: Creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn. The Ring tempts you. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)

@capwner I 100% agree with the Cavern of Souls pick. I didn't realize while I was going through my revisions that I still had a lot of humans in the deck. Will make that switch right away!
I should probably start a Maybeboard with cards including Boromir, Warden of the Tower as he was originally part of the list while I was cutting cards, and he was one of the few I was struggling to keep or not in the 99.
I'm a dirty blue player at heart so finding a balance between having enough stax pieces while also having some form of interaction/recursion was a fun challenge for me with this deck. I will definitely be checking out your list when I have time later today! Always love seeing other people's ideas when approaching a similar theme/playstyle

I almost just built this same deck lol. I wanted to build mono W wrath prison with Myojin of Cleansing Fire and Heliod as a wincon, and then I remembered that card is stone garbage as a commander. So I thought about building Heliod just for the ease of comboing off, but I ultimately decided to build Boromir, Warden of the Tower because he also has 2-piece combos/locks that I thought better fit the 'prison' style I was going for. It's interesting to see a fully fleshed Heliod list right after building my white list... Your list seems a bit light on stax pieces actually, with a lot more instant speed interaction to protect the combo win. Seems pretty good! Boromir might actually be good in here as a decent stax piece himself and also being able to protect your team, since you are almost entirely on hatebears. Also Cavern of Souls is a must IMO because of all your humans, and your win combo is also creature based. Just some thoughts, if you wanted to check out an alternate take on mono W stax/prison, check out my deck it should be near the top of my profiles! +1 for that mono white steez

Hackbrett I am SO sorry that it took me this long to respond! Thank you so much for your kind words words, and I am very happy to learn that someone else built the deck and is seeing success with it.
I am definitely noticing that multiple people are seeing success with Boromir, Warden of the Tower. I think I need to playtest this card more to see if the effect comes into play enough to offset the higher mana cost compared to Selfless Spirit.
Thousand Moons Smithy Flip is a card that got my attention a while back, although my initial impression was that it felt a bit too "win-more"-ish. Regardless, I am in the process of playtesting it, along with Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero and a couple of other cards. I think that Delney, Streetwise Lookout will almost certainly make the list because it is both a tapping outlet AND a token doubler for this deck (although it is a shame that it cannot double Welcoming Vampire and similar cards). However, I still don't know what it will replace. One thing I will say is that long-time "staples" of the deck, such as Paradise Mantle and Springleaf Drum have started to feel less and less essential now that we have so many toys to play with.
I will keep everyone updated in the coming months. Hopefully MH3 gives us some more goodies!

How about:
-
Phyrexian Vindicator, solves flying and deters combat.
-
Since you have Brave the Sands, you can use Defensive Formation to assign blocked damage how you choose.
-
Some runner ups Boromir, Warden of the Tower, Aven Mindcensor, Ghostly Prison, Maze of Ith.

Some small terminology errors, but you understand how it plays out and are correct about the major points.
Terminology pedantry if you care about being exactly correct as well:
Boromir, Warden of the Tower's bottom ability is activated, not triggered. When Boromir is activated Ratadrabik triggers as the cost is paid and will go on the stack above the Boromir ability. After that you are spot on, except that you left out that his creatures are made indestructible as part of the same ability that makes a Ring-bearer. (you fixed the last point as I was typing)

Objects on the stack resolve one at a time and there is a round of priority between each. You can try to destroy the non-legendary token before the Boromir, Warden of the Tower ability resolves making it both indestructible and his Ring-bearer.
Of note is that "The Ring tempts you" does not target. So technically if we are at the point where the Ring-bearer is being chosen it is too late for interaction. This doesn't mean that your friend can rush through after the Ratadrabik ability makes the token and declare his Ring-bearer depriving you of an opportunity to interact. But if the token is made and you pass priority, you do not get an opportunity to remove something after the choice of Ring-bearer has been made but before it goes into effect.
