4 Years ago, a member on the official EDH forum came up with an Anti-Group Hug deck that I thought was quiet interesting. I earmarked it and am finally getting back to it. With the passing of time this deck could be updated a lot now. So I'm sending it out to the MTGS readers to help update the deck with newer/better cards. I've included comments from the original thread of card suggestions.

I've moved away from cards like Lethal Vapors or Necropotence because they invite Mindslaver rape. There's nothing more annoying than having your opponent steal your turn and decide that YOU will be the one to skip your turn to destroy lethal vapors - 1,000,000 times. Or pay life to the skull until you're dead. Or pay life to Crovax, Ascendant Hero until you're dead... and so on.
I have not tested out the deck in physical form yet. I'm waiting to mesh together an updated more evil version of it before I go ahead and get cards together for it. So suggestions are always welcome on combos/synergy needed for it.
I think that Seizan has a home here. It helps enough people to the point they might be willing to leave you alone for a turn or two. And you could run Runeflare trap and Sudden impact for what could be pretty vicious.

I would move away from cards that prevent people from playing theirs, such as Winter Orb and Static Orb, but I think Smokestack, Anowon, Butcher of Malakir, etc., are all acceptable anti-hug cards. Some others you might consider are Massacre Wurm, Exsanguinate, Urborg Stalker (purely for style points :)), Blood Seeker, and Quest for the Nihil Stone (if you go with the mass discard theme and include Cabal Conditioning)

I don't think you want your opponents drawing cards with Seizan, Perverter of Truth doesn't have much synergy with your deck.
Suggest, Decree of pain , Meekstone.
I'd look into going into red as well.
