This started out as an anthem-based approach but turned into a Stax strategy. The goal is to slow your opponents down so you can find one of these combos:

• Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Walking Ballista
• Helm of Obedience + Rest in Peace
• Auriok Salvagers + Lion's Eye Diamond to win with Walking Ballista
• Auriok Salvagers + Lion's Eye Diamond to extort every cast of Lion's Eye Diamond with Blind Obedience
• Auriok Salvagers + Lion's Eye Diamond to cast Elesh Norn   over and over again, sacrificing her into Altar of Dementia
