Exquisite Blood
Enchantment
Whenever an opponent loses life, you gain that much life.

What kind of combo are you looking for?
Lock combos (something like Teferi's Puzzle Box + Notion Thief or Arcane Laboratory + Knowledge Pool) are pretty close to Stax and tend to lead to saltiness, but are as control-combo as you can get.
Instant win combos (Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank or Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond, for example) end the game fast, but need to be supported a little more, especially if the pieces don't do much by themselves.
"Open-ended" non-infinite combos (Rona, Tolarian Obliterator Flip + Pestilence + Body of Knowledge) are the least salt-inducing, as long as you can finish them in a reasonable time, but they might not close out the game.

Yeah, I agree with Crow_Umbra. Slowing the game down with a bunch of wrath spells is going to get at least some of your opponents salty. If that's acceptable to you though, an option that pops to mind for me is Oloro, Ageless Ascetic.
- Lends itself well to a deck with a bunch of wraths because it can do something while still in the command zone.
- The deck can focus around planeswalkers and/or enchantments so you aren't as affected by your own wraths.
- Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood can be your main combo.
- Something like Virtue of Persistence is early removal and a potential late-game win condition by reanimating your opponents' dead creatures to use against them.
- Idyllic Tutor isn't on the Game Changers list but is still a good tutor to help you find your combo.
The downside is that it isn't exactly the cheapest deck to build if you don't already have a bunch of the cards.
DreadKhan on Fun cards make fun decks

When you talk about 'fun cards', it makes me think of political stuff, nothing makes for memorable games like politics showing up. I'm a fan of Axis of Mortality and Exquisite Blood, either is a useful card on it's own, but combined they can be really, really fun (opponent's exchanging life totals is treated as one gaining and the other losing life, so it'll trigger Esquisite). War Tax is a fun political trick, not sure if I prefer Tax or Flood, both can actually do valuable work.
Fractured Identity is a nice Azorius card that can both remove a problem card while also making a whole bunch MORE problems! Very weird with Strixhaven Stadium for example. Visions of Duplicity is an interesting spell if your Commander has a fairly high MV, the effect is quite strong potentially. If you like the idea of giving opponent's some choices to keep things interesting, there are also Callous Oppressor and the very $$$ Preacher. Fealty to the Realm is the final relevant theft effect that comes to mind, not sure if it's good enough.
I'm one of few people who cape for them, but some of the Advocates are very strong repeatable effects; I like Pulsemage Advocate, and I love Spurnmage Advocate. I love how vs some people you can actually hurt them by putting stuff they need in the graveyard into their hand, and that you can also give the player who's fallen behind a tiny leg up.
Oh, and if you ever feel like having a blocker that can feed people cards, there is Flumph, yet also Soldevi Sentry (which is a 'combo' with Smothering Tithe in the sense that you can just feed someone as many cards as both people want, handy if you're helping them dig for a solution fwiw). Coveted Jewel is hilarious in the right meta, a real joy to see in action.
Dawnbreak Reclaimer can do a shocking amount of work sometimes, as can a World Queller (even funnier with Martyr's Bond).
You might want to look into the Hunted creatures, Hunted Horror is probably the best, but there some others that work a bit differently.

@Vessiliana, hey. Have you seen Bloodthirsty Conqueror? I hate adding cards that are more than 4 mana but he's worth it imo. This guy + Vito + someone losing/gaining life is basically the Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood combo in creature form. As in it infinite combos for an instant win.
I saw they also made a card that's just straight up better Nighthawk as well.

Blim's Blumpkins

Finally!!! Lost one, won one yesterday evening! Let's talk about the win. I attacked turn 4 with Blim, Comedic Genius, gifting Francois, on Gyrus, Waker of Corpses
, an Oni Possession. Blim, Comedic Genius never attacked again, even though I cast him for 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mana. Later in the game, I cast a Sorcerous Spyglass and found an infinite combo in Aubrey's large grip... Exquisite Blood and Enduring Tenacity. Seeing that, I decided not to name Francois' Chainsaw nor his Lightning Greaves. Instead, I named Blighted Fen, which never seemed to matter.
Francois used Gyrus, Waker of Corpses to kill Aubrey, sending exactly enough to get 5 damage through, past his only creature, Athreos, God of Passage. I had a Tormod's Crypt out but never used it.
On my penultimate turn, at 6 life, I cast a Nefarious Lich and a Chain Reaction, taking out Tendershoot Dryad and The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride. I had about 9 cards in the yard, including AEther Flash, which had killed a Blood Artist and did a lot of work this game. A Demonic Collusion had found me a Blasphemous Act, which eventually took out Aubrey's Valgavoth, Terror Eater and several other blockers to allow Francois' kill shot on him. Auren was able to kill Francois. Auren passed turn to me while he was tapped out at 1 life with 5 tapped food, Night of the Sweets' Revenge in his graveyard, and his commander, Ygra, Eater of All making all creatures into delicious morsels. I made the ultimate top deck: Greed's Gambit. This allowed me to draw 9 cards with Nefarious Lich out. Among those nine was a Dark Petition which found me an Earthquake for the win. Finally!! Earthquake for 3 finally was enough to win the game.

Back with another bunch of first person cards legendofa, mostly from the first Innistrad block. I compared lists and you already had some so I ignored those.
Definites:
•Mystic Retrieval (also the Avacyn version of the card)
Questionables:
•Frightful Delusion definitely FPP, but no hands from off screen.
•Night Terrors shadows are coming from the wrong direction, I don’t think this is from the perspective of the vampire
•Sharpened Pitchfork perspective correct shadows, but no hands
•Wooden Stake perspective too low I wager
•Chalice of Death Flip this could be a keeper
•Elbrus, the Binding Blade Flip might be from the viewpoint of the dying guy
•Exquisite Blood probably a severed arm, even if not it doesn’t look like the view could be from whoever the arm belongs to.

I have replaced Boon Reflection with Bloodthirsty Conqueror, since its is good to finally have a creature version of Exquisite Blood; it is unfortunate to have one fewer card that doubles the amount of life than I can gain, but I still have both Rhox Faithmender and Alhammarret's Archive, which is strictly better than the enchantment, in this deck, and I did upset the balance of colors in this deck, with that replacement, but only in a very minor way, thankfully.
