Stax
Restricts opponents: limits on casting spells or activating abilities, taxes on spells, abilities or attacks, permanents kept tapped or entering tapped, and hate on searching, drawing and graveyards. Also called hatebears or prison. Symmetric pieces that hit you too (Winter Orb, Rule of Law, Rest in Peace) count. A one-shot tax on one spell (Mana Leak), a cost on your own cards, or one permanent kept tapped is not stax.
