Intro: I build a lot of decks. I get an idea and just build it and tweak it until I either get bored or decide I love it...
This one is all based on Religion. It’s all angels, clerics, prophets, resurrection and above all … control. Because what’s more controlling than religion? (except maybe my Mom) Some of the cards in here are a fair stretch to call “religion based” but either their picture shows a religious theme or I can probably just stick it in the control slot
Originally I was using Grand Arbiter Augustin IV for my general but he just generates so much hate that I switched to Geist of Saint Traft. He’s not quite and effective at giving me time to explode my holy war all over the place but he’s so fast that I think it was a worthy trade out.
Anyways, tips, suggestions and comments are appreciated!
Love the theme, first of all. Meddling Mage is pretty good for the oppression theme but I think Nevermore would be more effective both thematically and at locking an opposing general out of the game, since it doesn't die to nearly as much. Consider also Declaration of Naught for that purpose. Witch Hunter is also really on-theme and can be quite an oppressive card to deal with, acting like a worse Capsize every turn.

Thanks for the quick reply. I really didn't want to use Meddling Mage because it doesn't "quite" fit the theme so I love the Nevermore alternative. I'll switch that out right away
I like Declaration of Naught, I don't think I've ever seen it before but I'm not sure i really need it. Maybe I'll switch it out for Counterspell after a few more tests.
Witch Hunter seems like it could be super awesome. I think i'm going to switch it out for Capsize since it fits the theme a bit more. Thanks again for the suggestions!

WPL Epic WorldGo ahead and run, you'll only die tired.
Those who might never meet are pooled together
You're running Godhead of Awe, why not put in Steel of the Godhead as well? Turning Traft into a 4/4 unblockable lifelinker is pretty good.
