Ethersworn Canonist
Artifact Creature — Human Cleric
Each player who has cast a nonartifact spell this turn can't cast additional nonartifact spells.

Nice. Sharding Sphinx would be a pretty awesome token generator in here. Also, Ethersworn Canonist makes life more difficult for opponents that don't have a heavy focus on artifacts. I would also really recommend Disciple of the Vault, as he will discourage opponents from messing with your artifacts.

I'd say there's a ton to be said for a White focused Stax deck, see; Hushbringer, Sanctum Prelate, Clarion Conqueror, one slot inclusions such as False Prophet or Kataki, War's Wage. Even so far as Ethersworn Canonist to stop Storm opposition, or Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. I guess it's going to boil down to what element of the game you wish to lock down and out the most. I'd recommend stuff like Authority of the Consuls and Blind Obedience to start, and honestly if you can keep it within white and colorless/artifact focused enough concepts, maybe something like Stoneforge Mystic would benefit you. See any of the toolbox pieces of; Meteor Sword, Lavaspur Boots, Tarrian's Soulcleaver, Shadowspear, Luxior, Giada's Gift, etc. Good luck!

As a complement to my previous message, I am considering the following:
-
Leonin Abunas: it protects the Aether Vial obviously, as well as the Chrome Mox and the Chalice of the Void, but also Ethersworn Canonist. Being a cleric, it benefits from the clerics synergies: the +0/+2 of Daru Spiritualist, the Cavern of Souls for clerics, the Starlit Sanctum as well;
-
Selfless Spirit, pretty obvious;
-
to a lesser extent, The Book of Exalted Deeds, Skullclamp, Archivist of Oghma, Fiend Hunter (maybe in replacement of the Paths?) and a fourth Grand Abolisher…

Alara. I really dug into the game with that block, and it's been my favorite ever since. It's mechanically and thematically unique, and I consider it a huge shame that it hasn't been revisited in 15+ years.
For gameplay, it introduced the Cascade mechanic, spread the idea of colored artifacts, and expanded Planeswalkers from a novelty to a core game piece. Cruel Control, Jund Midrange, and Zoo had their foundations set, with Cruel Ultimatum, Bloodbraid Elf, Maelstrom Pulse, Wild Nacatl, Path to Exile... Most of these have fallen off since then, but they still make me happy. Ad Nauseam, Noble Hierarch, Ethersworn Canonist, and Relic of Progenitus are all still viable in one form or another.
For storytelling, Nicol Bolas is shown to actually be as powerful, manipulative, intelligent, and terrifying as he's continually described to be. Ajani, Tezzeret, and Elspeth, three very important characters, are developed. The story unfortunately leaves off on a major point for the Shards themselves--after they rejoin into New Alara, we only get the lightest taste of what they're like now in Alara Reborn, along with a couple of random snippets (demon cults spreading in regions of former Bant?), and I really want to know how it's developed culturally, geographically, and magically.
And for me personally, I got a Progenitus from a booster that has a place of honor in my collection. "Protection from everything" will never not be awesome.

Garth, where are the bodies, Garth?

Turn 4 was my first spell Reclamation Sage, "call me Rec" for Jesse's Eidolon of Rhetoric... I wanted my opponents to flood the board for my Phyrexian Rebirth. The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride had already hit me for 7. Turn 5, Mirari's Wake. Turn 6, Phyrexian Rebirth took out 4 of my opponents' creatures plus Rec Sage. I had floated enough for Garth One-Eye as well. Turn 7 my excitement for a giant Villainous Wealth was entirely dampened by Ethersworn Canonist. I cast Hydra Broodmaster with six mana available from lands plus a possible Black Lotus for 9, so I could monstrify for four 4/4s. I realized in this turn cycle, though... I should have just Disenchanted the Ethersworn Canonist. I ended up using Garth to cast his Disenchant, which worked out fine. Turn 8, I untapped, cast Black Lotus into Villainous Wealth for x=10, targeting Seth (The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride). It was the right choice. Among 8 total nonlands, I hit a Rune-Scarred Demon, which fetched the Palinchron. I used my remaining 5 mana from Orzhov Basilica and City of Brass to Time Warp. Turn 8, again, I generated infinite mana with the Palinchron and Mirari's Wake, so, creating a million hydras of enormous size. Garth One-Eye cast Regrowth on the Time Warp, allowing me to kill my opponents on my next extra turn

I think Ethersworn Canonist, Isochron Scepter, Silence, Orim's Chant, Winter Moon, and Counterspells would be a decent shell to annoy your opponents because they can't play magic.

On that note, you could get more Rule of Law-style cards since they synergize well with Ertai:
