I'm just getting back into EDH and have decided to construct a prison deck. My deck relies upon shutting the opponent down, but I have added combos such as Dovescape + Guile and Hinder or Spell Crumple or Condemn + Tunnel Vision. I also use Mirror Gallery and cards such as Followed Footsteps to copy Grand Arbiter Augustin IV.

Luminarch Ascension is a great asset in my deck for token production and can make the game ugly real fast if I'm able to lock down the board and build up an army by using cards like Stasis or Peacekeeper.

Cards such as Pendrell Mists, Magus of the Tabernacle, World Queller, Propaganda, and Norn's Annex are used just to lay down the taxes on my opponents.

Tolarian Sentinel, Vedalken Mastermind, and Crystal Shard are used just so I can get around the affects of Winter Orb, Static Orb, Hokori, Dust Drinker, etc.

Invoke Prejudice is only on the maybe board because most people I play against use Blue or White so it usually doesn't end up being worth the cost.

If there are any cards that may be better than what I've put in, I'm all ears.
