An Abzan-colored deck, using several taxing effects to slow down the game to a crawl, then proceed to bash in the face with tokens or fatAs much as this deck was born for casual, suggestions are open to make it go tournament-competitive

Seems like an alright start, is this more focused on casual or something you want to go full competitive with? It'll help for suggestions.

While the idea was born out of casual while reading the mothership's archives, what do you think it can bring in order to be full competitive, aside from the mana base?
Other then the Mana Base, to fit the style of taxing and just keeping your opponent down. Cards like Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Gaddock Teeg, Scavenging Ooze, Spirit of the Labyrinth, Maelstrom Pulse. And for just the ultimate game enders, things like Knight Of The Reliquary, Tarmogoyf (If you are willing to go that far on the budget), Elspeth, Knight-Errant seems more appropriate then Sorin, as she alone will win games, while Sorin not as much.
These are just things that come to my head first, there is obviously things I probably missed that suit the deck better, but these come to my mind at first thought.
At first thought, discard suite actually does a good job at taxing enemy decks, but the price tag of Thoughtseize may be a bit too much for a "budget" deck, so that was my reasoning to go for Duress instead (especially since creatures can be killed easily, a spell is harder to interact with). Next, Thalia and Gaddock both help, but with the low curve of modern decks, Teeg can be a bit off, so it could belong to the SB. Elspeth is a nice one and I'll test two of em instead of Sorin. And Goyf...well, that one is a bit too pricey to end games for me (at least, if someone wants to use this build, by all means slip at least 3)
Just so you know, Abundant Growth doesn't actually ramp like Wild Growth, or Utopia Spawl.
I know, but it counts as a fixer and extra permanent to exile to Descent, that was my reason to include it in this list
