After I started playing Magic again, I picked up my fist pack of Apocalypse.  My rare -Vindicate, was something of a shock, but the card that just begged me to build a new deck was Supress
 
The card reads
 
Target player removes all cards in his or her hand from the game face down.  At the end of that players next turn, that player returns all cards to his or her hand.
 
It doesn't seem like a whole lot of power, with it's casting cost of three.   But in the proper deck, it basically say to take an additional turn.
 
The first card that it combo's nicely with is Avatar of Will.  A 5/6 uncounterable creature in play the third turn?  I'll take that.
 
Unfortunately, that combo is too fragile to build a solid deck around.   If you take a slower pace and go with some disruption, the deck flows great.
 
So...  some support cards to go with Supress.  I started with Duress.   Hand disruption is always good.  With the deck falling towards a slow, black based control design, and seeing how I still wanted to run the Avatar for the kill, Spite/Malice makes the cut.
 
4 Supress
4 Duress
4 Spite/Malice
2 Avatar of Will
 
14 cards do not make a deck, however.  So the next step is other control elements and library manipulation.
 
4 Counterspell (I didn't have any undermines)
4 Brainstorm
4 Fact or Fiction
2 Yawgmoths Agenda (This card is sickening.  I                     could write sever pages on the agenda)
 
So, the deck now has 8 counter spells, 10 sources of library manipulation 8 hand disruptions spells, and 2 sources of damage.
 
4 Thrashing Whumpass
2 Soul Link
 
So the final deck looks like:
 
4 Supress
4 Duress
4 Spite/Malice
2 Avatar of Will
4 Counterspell
4 Brainstorm
4 Fact or Fiction
2 Yawgmoths Agenda
4 Thrashing Whumpass
2 Soul Link
4 Dark Ritual
4 City of Brass
4 Salt Marsh (Underground river works good too)
7 Island
7 Swamp
 
I've only has a chance to playtest the deck a couple of times so far.   It beat Fires (Once, but hey, every deck has a starting point).  Rebel gave it a fit, but it whooped all over a static orb. 
 
So, I hope I have shown a little light on Supress.  I hope to continue to refind the deck, and make it the best deck it can be.
