Title: Weird deck idea

So after a recent Ensnaring Bridge combo submission, I got thinking about ways to bypass the bridge to attack while leaving no room for an opponent to do so, and remembered the old run of 0-casting cost kobolds, as well as creatures like Phyrexian Walker and Ornithopter. With Ensnaring Bridge, if your creature has 0 power it can always attack, but is generally useless to do so.

So then you need to get a hold of a card from the limited release sets, called Crescendo of War. On each upkeep, not just yours, it gets a counter. Attacking creatures, and blocking creatures you control, get +1/+0 for each counter on it.

Since your creatures don't get that bonus until they are attacking, they slip through the bridge entirely and get to swing with the bonus, while any opposing creatures are stuck, since you are keeping your hand empty at all times for this.

As an extra bonus, if you are using only 0-cost creatures, Immortal Servitude from the Return to Ravnica block will only cost 3 mana to resurrect your whole army.

As you are running a pseudo-monowhite deck, you might want to add in Knighthood or Valor. Ensnaring Bridge only prevents attacking, not blocking.

Bottled Cloister will give you a card advantedge while completely negating your hand during your opponent's turn.

Since you are running Ornithopters and Phyrexian Walkers, you could throw in a Goblin Welder (if you wanted to splash in actual red) or Bringer of the White Dawn/Open the Vaults/Trading Post/Treasure Hunter to bring some of your creatures/Ensnaring Bridge back from the dead.
