How it plays & wins

This list is a white-and-colorless artifact stax deck. It uses a fast start from Mishra's Workshop, Ancient Tomb, Sol Ring, Chrome Mox, Mana Vault and Grim Monolith to land taxing effects before opponents set up. Trinisphere, Chalice of the Void, Damping Sphere, Thorn of Amethyst and Deafening Silence slow everyone down, while Silence, Orim's Chant and Mana Tithe protect the lock. Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile and March of Otherworldly Light handle the threats that still show up.

No combo is detected, and the win condition isn't clear. The likeliest routes are grinding damage with Urza's Saga constructs, or putting Eldrazi Conscription or Darksteel Mutation on a creature while opponents are choked on resources. Smothering Tithe and Monologue Tax add incremental advantage, but I can't point to a definite finisher.
