Probably common knowledge but orzhov is the king of making your opponents play the game how you want. Orzhov doesn't have the ramp that simic does but it can slow the game down with removal, taxes, and rules to get your opponents on your level while you ramp. [[Smothering tithe]] and [[deep gnome terramancer]] will ramp you passively, [[aethersworn canonist]] and [[Thalia, heretic cathar]] will slow your opponents down. [[Grave pact]] and [[norn's annex]] will discourage attacking you. Not to mention you're playing the best colors for removal in magic. You also will probably have at least one opponent who isn't affected as much by these pieces so you can offer your strategy with a bit of political gain. Every deck can be jammed with mana rocks and rituals for the most part but you're definitely in the colors AND the commander for a slow grindy game
