I feel like you could lean in harder to the 'tap my creatures and do stuff" effects if you wanted to?
- Adarkar Valkyrie is hilarious as you can use it to get your opponent's creatures back when they die. And if he's indestructible when he's tapped, all the better for you!
- Droning Bureaucrats is a funny political card. You could use it to your benefit or one of your opponents attacking another one of your opponents.
- Devout Invocation would be on theme here.
- Drumbellower would be fun and allow you to retap/crew every turn - or keep things tapped by just re-crewing.
- Field Surgeon (or Hair-Strung Koto allow you to keep unlimited creatures tapped with either damage protection or milling ops.
- Flight-Deck Coordinator gains life for tapped creatures and Chrome Companion or Compassionate Healer would be on theme here too.
- Hand of Justice because - who uses Fallen Empires(?) and creature destruction!
- Orphans of the Wheat gives you a way to tap all your creatures. And with Rogue's Passage...
- Rinoa, Angel Wing would be good recursion for your stuff.
- Sword of the Paruns also pumps your tapped creatures
- Endbringer is good utility on many fronts.
Maybe some more protection too like Ghostly Prison or Norn's Annex?
If you decided to go with more legendary creatures Relic of Legends could be funny as it would simultaneously ramp and allow you to keep most things tapped!

Cute idea! I should do this with my group!
Some worthy includes: Azor's Elocutors (22cents), Droning Bureaucrats (5cents), the Offering cycle of cards (~$1.50 each), Obzedat, Ghost Council (50cents), Trusted Advisor (5 cents, can let you get more uses of Graft and more energy counters), Dawnbreak Reclaimer (55cents), Guided Passage ($1.75 but the ultimate politics card), Rags//Riches (17 cents), sorry can't figure out how to format that one for tapped out to be happy.
Hope this helps!

Though if I'm being quite honest, I would prefer to add War Tax to the deck over the Droning Bureaucrats. War Tax is an enchantment and plays well with Sphere of Safety+Serra's Sanctum, is immune to Pendrell Mists and can be brought back from the grave via Sun Titan. Thank you for the excellent suggestion though.

The_Potato_Judge- I have never seen Droning Bureaucrats before. I may have to see how that would fit in this deck. Thanks for mentioning the sideboard, I forgot to remove a Pendrell Mists from my sideboard when I added one to my main deck.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, to not see the presence of Droning Bureaucrats in this deck.
Also, I think you have 1 too many Pendrell Mists. There are a total of 5 in the main and sideboard.

Droning Bureaucrats, Thran Turbine, Paradox Haze, and Dissipation Field. Fun theme.

This is the first deck in version 2.0. I first removed from the generic pool of guild cards the worst in a multiplayer environment: Dutiful Thrull, Mourning Thrull, Syndicate Enforcer, Blind Hunter, Beckon Apparition, Cry of Contrition, Conjurer's Ban, Purge the Profane, Shadow Lance, Gift of Orzhova and Moratorium Stone were simply too weak; Sin Collector and Castigate are great in 1v1, but not very much here. And I'm still dubious about Alms Beast. Then I tryed to improve the deck adding Droning Bureaucrats, Loxodon Gatekeeper, Sandsower, Spelltithe Enforcer, Ghosts of the Innocent Faith's Fetters and Sphere of Safety to slow down the opponents and take time to build a stable board so is possible to take advantage of all the life drain the deck offer. Then Moonlight Bargain and Underworld Connections for card draw, and finally some bombs: Skeletal Vampire, Angel of Serenity, Luminate Primordial, Sepulchral Primordial and Grave Betrayal. The deck now perform as a strong wall against enemies, stopping them while slowly draining their life.
