Building an illegal deck for a deck building competition.

This deck is meant to utilize the skip upkeep Elise gives you. This deck is not coming in mind with competitive only for gimic, also this is my first time making a deck without any real guide so feel free to leave some criticizing comments.

Primer

The goal of the deck is to abuse the fact you don't have an upkeep and make people sacrifice or lose life to keep their board in play, so this tends to make people want to hoard their board however we have a counter for that and this is Iron Maiden, Misers' Cage, Ebony Owl Netsuke, and Black Vise. There is also a decent amount of big stat creatures you can put on the board early. There are two ways in the deck to force people to have bigger hands and it's: Anvil of Bogardan and Price of Knowledge.

There are 3 cards that just turn damage to 0 or just prevent the damage: Energy Storm, Inner Sanctum, and Glacial ChasmGC.

One card that I don't see that much is the The One RingGC since you lose life on each upkeep for each burden counter, but draw a card for each burden conter on The One RingGC.

Upkeeping

There are many artifact/enchantment that proc on your opponent upkeeps: Blood Clock, Black Vise, Iron Maiden, Noetic Scales, Umbilicus, Witch Hunt, Torment of Scarabs, Sulfuric Vortex, Misers' Cage, and Ebony Owl Netsuke. These boil down to doing damage if they hold too many cards, sacrifice 2 life to keep a permanent on the board, or return a creature if they have more power then the # of card in hand.

Ramping

You have some decent ways to ramp for example: Mana Flare, Smothering TitheGC, Sol Ring, Lavabrink Floodgates, Archaeomancer's Map, Chromatic Orrery, Chromatic Lantern, Caged Sun, and Arcane Signet.

Board wipes

You got 4 choices for board wipes Ruinous Ultimatum, Blasphemous Act, Cleansing Nova,and Blood Money.
