Nice, but I have a question, what does GG mean? I speculate three things, It either means green green, or it means good game, or something else.

in this case i'm assuming it good game.
I would suggest keeping it monoblue and switch frozen aether for kismit,

This would be a lot better if you had Time Elemental to return Stasis to your hand and keep your untap step.

you don't need any other card... because you would be skipping your turn...

chronotog doesn't require you to tap it to play its ability

"chronotog doesn't require you to tap it to play its ability"

it still taps in order to attack, right? I'm sorry, but this doesn't even make sense. You don't untap your lands either, eventually you'll have to bury Stasis. I mean no disrespect, but this would take me to the land of nowhere in a match.

you don't attack with the chronotog, and why would you have to bury stasis?

the combo works by locking down your opponent so they cant do anything except draw, and draw, and draw. and after alot of draws they deck themselves.
you on the other hand, pump chronotog on your opponents turn making it a 4/5, and skip your next turn.
see thats the key part, the cost not the effect. by skipping your turn, you skip your upkeep (so no paying stasis's upkeep cost) and you skip your draw (no decking yourself)
Overall its a slow mill, which causes most people to scoop as there are few was to deal with it once it hits the table.

I got it now, you can use the ability even on your untap phase or during your opponents. Still, I don't see any reason to play this in match, I'd rather have thopter foundry + sword of the meek + time sieve. It's way frustrating for your opponent.

We'll it's another version of that.. But it's another way around.. When your playing time sieve, it's always you, you, you! How about giving your opponent a fighting chance to do something like play land or draw card...

I played against both combos I have to say Stasis is much worse then the meek/sieve. 

When someone plays the sieve combo all that happens is we say "ok I can't play again, you win" but with stasis, they can play again, they just can't do anything-and that is why its worse-its one thing to not have an option, its another to have one you can't do anything with, to draw that disenchant or terror but your mana's all tapped.  Not to mention its one thing to lose by being overwelmed but to lose by decking yourself, ouch

Only if you play the combo as posted you don't have another turn.
