Deck discussion for lockdown

Sorry, I have to comment on this one, Stasis is quite possibly my favorite card.

Here's the biggest problem that I see.... How do you anticipate to avoid the upkeep on Stasis?

Here is how it is traditionally done:

Forsaken City: Discard a card every turn so you have an untapped land to feed to the Stasis to prolong the lock. This is fed with Howling Mines to ensure that you have cards, Jace Beleren does the same thing and offers an alternative win condition (decking/milling).

Bounce: Use cards like Chain of Vapor, Boomerang, Vedalken Mastermind to return Stasis to your hand during your opponent's EOT. This allows you to untap everything you have (don't forget to replay Stasis to maintain the lock) so that you can respond to threats should you not have the hard lock from Frozen AEther on the board yet.

My Stasis deck is weaker than it has been in the past, I used to have a U/W deck that utilized Isochron Scepter with a Boomerang on it to return Stasis (it also was complimented with Orim's Chant, a full suite of Counters, and Swords to Plowshares to make sure I would accomplish the lock). If you'd like to see mine, it's the Blue Prison deck on my deck list.
