But the big cards I like for the list are these:
ratchet bomb- Blow someones lands.
sylvan library- Allows you to get the 2 cards to discard when needed.
I second the Palinchron and then toss in Phantasmal image and a rings of brighthearth and enjoy infinite mana. I mean you have to hit it properly in order but the new clone that bounces could help also.
I do hope you are being sarcastic as 3 card combos are some of the most easy to disrupt. Majority 3 card combos rely on varying card types so it becomes increasingly easily to answer.
I second Mishra. I have played mishra for just over a year now and love the deck to death. It abuses the stack and trust me Grixis gets some really nice artifacts. If you want a link to a list I have one in my sig.
I was just about to type that out so thank you for saving me the effort.
Sylvan Library is sooo good for this deck thought! you can normally find them for 15 or so if you don't mind Lightly played. Otherwise gold boardered ones are 8-10 bucks and as most players don't play in tournaments you should be fine.
These don't necessarily need to wipe you out:
Have you considered timber protector? He keeps your lands indestructible while you can swing.
Dosan the falling leaf prevents people from instant speed wiping your lands with the wipes while allowing you to animate thier lands once they get a false sense of security when they boardwipe.
other cards that I loved in my deck were:
Rings of brighthearth and its clone Illusionist's bracers - being able to animate everyone else lands in response to a boardwipe is deadly...
also sylvan library allows you to get 2 cards for 4 life...
Do you have a list I could look at? I am intrested to see some of the elements for stax that you run.
edit: Also thank you guys for your input.
I am currently stuck between these three:
Lady Sun , Meloku the Clouded Mirror, and Thada Adel, Acquisitor
Each offers it own upside and down side:
Lady Sun
Pro:
- Creature bounce: creature bounce + taxing effects is extremely powerful
- Cool Factor: its a P3K so thats Automaticly cool and her name is Lady Sun. Just too cool.
- Low CMC: Enables for more use.
Cons:
- Cost: P3K is expensive.
- weak body: 1/1 is kinda weak
- Lack of finshing: Doesn't specifically enable a wincon or help generate a win con.
Meloku the Clouded Mirror
pros:
- Sweet Tribe: Moonfolk are really cool. I really wish I had played in Kamigawa
- Win Con: a built in wincon.
- Enables stax: Provides tokens
Cons:
- higher Cmc: not going to be able to use as often
- Lack of originality: I have seen this deck done as a tuned comob deck and it is good but Lacks the creativity that I love.
and finally
Thada Adel, Acquisitor
pros:
- No one expects stax: people expect an aggro deck so stax is more allowed to set up.
- Steals artifacts: creates a nice bit of ramp/tempo for stax to thrive on.
- Lack of combo win con: more grindy to win.
Cons:
- least cool: I personally don't find Him/Her as cool as the other two.
- Overdone tribe: I have two semi tribal syggs in my play group one of each so the tribe is present already
I am curious to see what you guys think and would love some input for my Stax commander choice.

Ideally I wanted Lady Sun As my commander but due to price issue I am currently sticking with Meloku the Clouded Mirror because of his nice combo potential to finish a game. I am however possibly going to get a Lady Sun if I find this deck works well.
So currently I am looking for Card suggestions and Possible directions for the deck to take.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Otherswise I would play Lavinia of the tenth Tempo could be really fun. Being able to toss a Sword of X and Y to give her a trio of protection has always seemed appealing. and from their you just play a mix of control and aggro and just have fun with it. Humans tribal seems like it could be fun with her too.
