Trying to put together a reasonable list of evil. I decided to go orzhov, but abzan is a possibility.

The goal is to slow/freeze the game by stopping players from casting cards, drawing cards, triggering etb abilities, or using lands. The Death and Taxes section being more death than taxes. Then I drain people out while they're frozen, with the outside option to beat them to death.

Draining: Vizkopa Guildmage Sanguine Bond Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose Defiant Bloodlord

Gain life to start the drain: Fountain of Renewal Auriok Champion Ajani's Welcome

Stop play: Winter Orb Damping Sphere Eidolon of Rhetoric Spirit of the Labyrinth

Do I need more lands? Ways of protecting my board? Shift the balance between the life, drain, and freeze? Whaddya think?
