This idea is based around taking some of the old color-hate cards, mixing them with a bunch of color-hack cards, and locking down as much as possible.

There are some key lock combos.

Drought + hack can force a black player to sacrifice Forests to cast spells, or a green player to sacrifice Swamps, or other such impossible combination.

Teysa, Orzhov Scion + hack will end up being very similar to "Sacrifice three black creatures: Exile target creature, then create three black creature tokens."

Order of the Sacred Torch and Stromgald Cabal + hack are cheap, reusable counterspells, and Northern Paladin + hack is cheap, reusable permanent destruction.

Thada Adel, Acquisitor and Wrexial, the Risen Deep can become unblockable to steal your opponent's resources.

Tribute Mage can search for Isochron Scepter for targeted manipulation or Painter's Servant for mass color changing.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm not looking for the next Tier 1 deck to beat, but I would like this idea to develop as far as it can. Budget isn't a significant issue, but I don't want to buy $300 Tundras for a non-competitive deck. If this deck becomes more competitive, I'll start considering it.
