Hissing Miasma
Enchantment
Whenever a creature attacks you, its controller loses 1 life.
RiotRunner789 on Best color for this type …

Orzhov (black and white) would be my recommendation. You have Eriette of the Charmed Apple, Kambal, Profiteering Mayor, Kambal, Consul of Allocation, and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. All of which drain your opponents while gaining you life. Each has a unique way of winning without swinging.
Second best options could be golgari's Dina, Soul Steeper or Slimefoot, the Stowaway for Aristocrats build. Izzet (red/blue) or any spell slinging deck with a bunch of Guttersnipe effects are also solid.
Some black cards to consider, Hissing Miasma effects (of which there are many), Koskun Falls, or potential blanket protection effects such as Grave Pact or No Mercy.
Green has Elephant Grass and plenty of death touching deterants.
White has Peacekeeper and Sphere of Safety.
Blue has Dissipation Field and Propaganda.
Red has Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs plus all of your Guttersnipe effects as mentioned above.
You can easily make a deck that kills (or mills) people to death without ever swinging. Just depends on the flavor you want to do the murdering with.

Pew-pew! The not so scary voltron deck.

Side thought,
There are a bunch of Hissing Miasma effects, especially some decent ones in the last ~3 yrs.
A possible fun way to discourage people attacking you but you'd probably want to run 4-ish which would be hard to fit into your current deck.

Gonti, Canny Acquisitor looks specifically at triggers involving combat damage.
Hissing Miasma would trigger an additional time from Isshin, Two Heavens as One, since he looks at Attack triggers from any permanents you control.

No, Hissing Miasma doesn't target. An effect only has a target if it specifically uses the word "target", either in the text on the card or packed into the full rules for a keyword ability (e.g. Equip).
Are these the cards you meant to ask about? I'm just getting a funny feeling since you ask about an "interaction" but they don't seem to have anything to do with each other.

I dont think I'd have any card in my deck with the sole purpose of being a blocker. Id hate it every time I drew the card.
Darkness is a fog in black
Ensnaring Bridge might work if you can play around it. Your guys are small but your buffing them.
Stuffy Doll + Pariah's Shield is cute but on their own they are sort of dead draws.
Hissing Miasma is a deterrent but not a very strong one
Crawlspace limits the number of attackers
Exquisite Blood might solve the problem in another way
Mirage Mirror acts as a great deterrent that also has a lot of utility.
Marchesa's Decree give you monarch which you can always get back so thats sweet
Davriel, Soul Broker very strong
Solemn Simulacrum the best blocker lol
Not exactly what you asked for but hopefully gave you some good ideas.

If it wasn't clear from the above: this works and the other person was wrong about the Hellrider interaction. The game can only move to the next step or phase after both players pass priority over an empty stack. That means any triggered abilities that trigger during a given step have to be dealt with and fully resolved before the game moves forward. In both the Hissing Miasma and Hellrider examples, Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin will get the +1/+1 counters during the Declare Attackers step of combat. There's nothing in the ability or the rules of the game that tells you to wait and deal with the trigger later.

Situation 1 - Using Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin and Hissing Miasma together:
The combat phase is separated into different steps. Here, the relevant step is the Declare Attackers step. During the Declare Attackers Step, first attackers are declared through the processes set forth in the rules. As part of declaring attackers, "Any abilities that trigger on attackers being declared trigger." (Rule 508.1m).
Once the attackers are declared, the active player gains "priority"--this is when spells can be cast and abilities resolve (See Rule 508.2).
When the active player gets priority per Rule 508.2, the triggers which occurred pursuant to Rule 508.1m get put on the stack. At this point, we are still in the Declare Attackers Step.
The Hissing Miasma triggered ability will go on the stack--one trigger will be placed on the stack for each attacking creature. When each triggered ability resolves, it will cause the attacking player to lose one life.
Upon that player losing one life, Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin will trigger and his ability goes on the stack. When that ability resolves, it will give him the +1/+1 counter. We are still in the priority stage of the Declare Attackers Step for this entire process.
Only after every player has passed priority and nothing is on the stack will we advance to the next step--the Declare Blockers Step. It is during that step, after all the Hissing Miasma and Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin triggers have finished resolving that you declare your blockers.
Situation 2: Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin and Hellrider
Your buddy was wrong. As with above, all the triggers will occur during the Declare Attackers Step and will resolve during the priority component of the Declare Attackers Step. Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin's triggers will resolve before you move on to the Declare Blockers Step and get to choose blockers.
