I tested/played new cards for so long that I forgot to update this list...
Authority of the Consuls replaces Soul Warden. It doesn't give me life when a creature enters on my side, but it is less suspectible to removal.
Angel's Trumpet replaces Massacre Wurm. This one was hard. Massacre Wurm
was one of the cards that caused this deck to exist and it is a great finisher. But it costs too much. Mostly, it came down around turn 9 or 10, and that's too slow. When Ghostly Prison is out,
Angel's Trumpet deals quite a lot of damage to my opponent each turn, which leads to me winning faster.
I'm currently thinking about replacing Suture Priest with Trespasser's Curse, because it is an enchantment and gives me much more life. The problem is that it would turn this deck into a strict duel deck, as the Curse affects only one player... Thoughts?
What a heinous deck! +1000 if I could! Have a splendid day!

Oh man, I actually recently built a deck kind of like this (just uploaded here: Enemy Forces). Red lets you play Rakdos Charm though, I'm stuck with Stronghold Discipline which is a total finisher a lot of times. I see you have Authority of the Consuls on the maybeboard, I've actually been considering adding Blind Obedience to my deck as well. +1

@The7thBobba: Thanks, man!
@AceGambitDragonfly: Yeah, I'm testing Authority of the Consulate over Soul Warden right now. Not because of the entering tapped part, but because it's an enchantment and my meta doesn't run many enchantment removals, but many creature removals.
The only bad thing about it is that it prevents "fresh" tokens from dealing damage to my opponent via Angel's Trumpet...

If you're worried about Angel's Trumpet, you could try Juntu Stakes instead. It's 1 less mana and also kind of doubles as an attack prevention, and if you're also running Authority of the Consuls you don't ever even have to worry about those pesky 1/1s you're handing over.

@AceGambitDragonfly: Oh, I'm not worried. It's just that I'm testing the Trumpet, too. It works, but it irks me that it doesn't consider fresh tokens when they enter tapped. Other than that, it seems like a great replacement for Massacre Wurm, which always feels a bit clunky.
But I very much like the lockdown of Authority of the Consulate and Juntu Stakes. I just like Ghostly Prison even better.

@hyperlocke I was keeping the build R/G initially due to the board wide mana ramps available, such as Overabundance and Zhur-Taa Ancient, but from what you've suggested card-wise it feels like, if I did choose between white or black, then I'm essentially picking between self protection or opponent punishment effects. And in that regard I would lean towards self preservation.
I do know I would not run the Hippo though, as if I had to drop red or green then it would be the green (I like playing Warp World too badly).
