Phenax EDH. The key to this deck is to get out Phenax, God of Deception and take advantage of his many synergies in order to mill out your opponent. The deck keeps up a consistent milling pace once Phenax is in play until becoming extremely explosive to finish off opponents if they are still in play.

1 Infinite combo:Mind Crank + Dimir Guildmage + any mill = infinite mill infinite life loss to an opponent.

Defensive CardsSilent Arbiter and Crawlspace so as not to get hit hard. With Phenax, you can mill at the end of your opponents end step, meaning your creatures will always be available to block unless they actually attack.

Phenax SynergiesArmy of the Damned, Empty the Pits , and Undead Alchemist produce lots of 2/2's which can attack or mill as fit. These cards turn Grimgrin, Corpse-Born into a machine.

Altar of Dementia everytime your creatures die not only do they get in a last tap-to-mill, but they essentially double it as well. Also works well with all the zombies, as they can chump block and mill for 4 each as they die.

Consuming Aberration and Nighthowler : very big very fast in terms of milling (as well as damage if need be).

Knacksaw Clique and Oona, Queen of the Fae are good mana dumps for lots of milling.

OtherSphinx's Tutelage and Altar of the Brood give persistent mill every turn. Sphinx's Tutelage is even better with stuff like Baleful Force , Bloodgift Demon, and Jace Beleren.

Hedron Crab is fun with Phenax because he's potentially milling 5 per turn, which isn't much but because you can get him out early he can easily chump the early attackers and slowly build graveyards up for Nighthowler and Consuming Aberration

Beacon of Unrest, Extract from Darkness , Rise of the Dark Realms and Sepulchral Primordial are great to take things you mill from opponents decks, or retrieve your own creatures. Rise of the Dark Realms can turn the tide late game.
