Ever see the leeches from Invasion used profitably?

Llawan, Cephalid Empress + Painter's Servant will bounce all of your opponent's creatures and prevent him from playing any others so long as Llawan is around.

Donate + Painter's Servant + Sapphire Leech will make an opponent without blue mana unable to play any spells, as they need to come up with to play one.

Alter Reality can also work with Llawan or the Leech by changing them to affect your opponent's colour specifically, if you don't draw the servant. Ruby Leech and Harmless Offering serve as backup combo pieces as well. Once your opponent is locked down, Grindclock should run him out of cards at your leisure.
