This Deck is probably the meanest thing you can do to an opponent in 1v1 Commander outside of bringing a fully optimized competitive deck, while still being able to hold it's own in a regular 4 player game. If you like ruining lives and breaking wills then this is your deck.

STRATEGY Essentially, using Phenax, God of Deception's tap abilities the deck is going to be playing fat boys and dudes with a healthy appetite for corpses such as Tree of Perdition, Mortivore, and Nighthowler. That Being said, it is important that we can get Phenax, God of Deception out as soon as possible. To ensure that we can accomplish this we are running the classic Sol Ring, along with a Crypt Ghast which pairs beautifully in the late game with Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth . The deck also comes equipped with a Dark Ritual which will be useful in getting Phenax, God of Deception out on time, but can also be used to smooth out a combo in the late game. With this deck we do not care much for attacking, and will often hold a lot of our actions until the end phase before our main, for this reason Vedalken Orrery is a key part of our strategy, as it will allow us to hold up mana for cards like Disallow without having to sacrifice a play should we not need to counter a spell.

The deck plans on having turns where a creature will tap once (or more using cards like Paradox Engine or Thousand-Year Elixir) and take with it a large portion of an opponent's library; One of the best Two Card Combos (Three with the commander) the deck can hope to pull of being Phenax, God of Deception + Thousand-Year Elixir + Tree of Perdition But why should the fun stop there? there are plenty of global draw effects like Howling Mine and Temple Bell in the deck that force your opponents to make the touch choices, and can also help to negotiate for your life in a multiplayer game.

Modifications For Your Meta Show

The state of your meta will vastly change how you build this deck.

If you frequently see aggro strategies that seek to overwhelm your board in the early game, then remove some of the flashier creatures on this list in favor of the defender 101 mill package. This includes cards such as Fog Bank, Guard Gomazoa, Amaranthine Wall, and Doorkeeper.

If your meta calls for Counterspells (because your playgroup likes to play broken cards), fear not! YOU ARE IN BLUE. you can trade out some of the in-hand mill for control options. look at cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable and Mind Sculpt to replace with your Cryptic Command and Negate type cards.

Finally, if your meta sees a mirror matchup between mill decks, you either have to win first, or mill first with Labratory Maniac out. To ensure this, you are going to want as many tutors as you can afford (Increasing Ambition, Demonic Tutor, Cruel Tutor, and Diabolic Tutor) coupled with a decent reanimation package: Sheoldred, the Whispering One, Victimize, etc
