I'm the overachiever who enjoys winning multiplayer formats through sheer force of mill. -

This was the very first EDH deck I built, and so it holds a special place in my deckbox.

Originally expanded upon from my 60-card (Standard) Theros mill deck, this was clunky for a long time-- consequences of deciding to start playing EDH with a laughably tight budget, and only one block released since my spark ignited (or as I put it, "I flooped the pig").

I like to think it's a bit more streamline since then.

It may not be the strongest deck at any of the tables I play at, but it can hold it's own and I enjoy piloting it.

Phenax plays very defensively-- my creatures usually stay untapped until the endstep of the opponent immediately to my right, making them great high-toughness blockers (Wall of Frost), or have untap abilities which help control the board (King Macar, the Gold-Cursed, Daring Thief ). Other creatures/permanents, (Silent Arbiter, Riddlekeeper , Propaganda) help to deter early aggression from decks that wouldn't already be attacking mill strategies.

My meta doesn't have a lot of Eldrazi titans, but when playing at unfamiliar tables I can swap out Whispering Madness and Swan Song for Praetor's Grasp and Stain the Mind .

I've finally secured a Maze of Ith, and am now on the lookout for a Mindcrank. :)
