Ok so I'm currently trying to build an azusa stax edh deck and The stax part is really killing me with the lack of room from lands and crucial pieces. So far my stax list is vorinclex, strip mine (will be getting wasteland soon too), crucible of worlds, winter orb and mind slaver if you want to call slaver a stax card i don't know if I'll have any room at all when I drop the $200 I need to finish the deck.
Some of these cards might hit you too, but the point of stax is using universal harm to your benefit. In other words, find ways to outplay those cards so they hurt your opponents more than they hurt you. Eg. Root Maze isn't that bad with Azusa out, because you're likely already outperforming your opponents in the mana ramp department anyway.
*Edit What about Ward of Bones? Just to keep fools from getting ahead of you.
*Edit edit Garruk Wildspeaker to get around Winter Orb effects. Also gives some token fodder for sacrifice outlets, like Smokestack.
To anyone sleeping on Winter Orb I'm pretty sure combining it with Seedborn Muse is strong. Just saying.
That being said if I was going to build mono-G control/stax it would be Titania, Protector of Argoth or Kamahl, Fist of Krosa and it would run mana dorks instead of land ramp to get around the stax effects.

Annul is really good in EDH

At any rate, don't forget Natural Balance to punish ramping and Wave of Vitriol to hit those non-basics.
