Hi guys,

Short version: Phenax and the Siren are in your base, killin' ur cardz.

The Stars: Phenax, God of Deception + Siren of Silent Song They're what makes the deck work/fun. Plain and simple.

The Tools: Triton Tactics to untap defenders as well as the Siren whenever I want. Pilfered Plans for draw.

The Win-Con: Phenax, God of Deception + Wall of Frost, Murmuring Phantasm and gang. Self-explanatory, yes?

The Support: Some regular control/removal cards (Cyclonic Rift, Psychic Strike (no Dissolve since I thought avoiding UU was a good idea), etc.). Not sure if Crypt Incursion is sideboard material, but I feel it could be helpful for surviving against creature-heavy decks where I manage to kill off a handful and late-game rolls around.

The Sideboard: I'm thinking it has to deal with 1) Aggro and token overwhelmage and 2) graveyard interaction.

The Maybeboard: Considering stuff like Breaking / Entering if my mill is simply going too slow with what I have now. Other creatures are up for debate.

If you feel like it, please help me 1) sharpen mana base 2) improve likelihood of succeeding with my intended focus of deck/combo 3) make a decent sideboard 4) win with this deck!

Thank you for looking, any and all comments and +1's appreciated.
