Phenax, God of Deception is my first commander deck that I build myself so all the help is welcome. I play this deck in Pod's so i always keep the politics in mind, I focus on cards that mills everyone equally.

The win conditions I work towards:

The Big butts:Sewer Nemesis, Mortivore, Consuming Aberration, Wight of Precinct Six, Nighthowler, + Phenax, God of Deception. With Intruder Alarm I hope to mill for a lot each time we go around the table.

Undead Alchemist can win on its own in and provides a lot of bodies with Bruvac the Grandiloquent and Altar of the Brood. Oona, Queen of the Fae works as well but needs more mana to get her going.

Syr Konrad, the Grim, Bruvac the Grandiloquent + Traumatize, Maddening Cacophony, Fleet Swallower can one shot people.

Mindcrank + Duskmantle Guildmage Infinite combo

Eater of the Dead + Phenax, God of Deception and a bit of luck can eat through all the decks.

I feel like the deck runs kind of slow so any nice low cmc combos or ramp cards that work well in dimir are welcome!
