You could lose a couple of copies of Golgari Charm for Pilfered Plans or Read the Bones to help you find Phenax, without him your deck is a bunch of dudes with big butts that don't really do anything.

I forgot to update this deck lol. I do agree with you, last weekend I got mana drained and had no swamps. I ended up side boarding Golgari Charm and putting in Divination . I think I might do the same thing with Psychic Strike and side boarding it and replacing it with Pilfered Plans . What do you think?

I generally agree with the other comment about relying solely on Phenax. That's why Consuming Aberration is such a good card. What you have here seems to run like a defender aggro that doesn't really do anything until your 5 drops.

I prefer Pilfered Plans and Read the Bones over Divination .

Putrefy is a good removal and deals with artifacts. Fade into Antiquity is also a good card that allows you to remove the pesky gods as well.

Fog is a decent stall tactic that is also cheap.

As far as Psychic Strike is concerned, I've always been a fan but depends on what you like more. Dissolve gives you scry but requires 2 blue mana.

Duress is cheap and can also help with planeswalkers and spells.

Thanks for the comment! I agree that Pilfered Plans and Read the Bones are both better than Divination , I should probably do something about that. Fade into Antiquity is not a bad option when fighting against gods that are indestructable. Fog and Duress are not bad options, but planes walkers haven't been a huge concern, I might sideboard Fog just to stall, which this deck really needs. I have to say, counter cards are really hard to pull off in this deck because it is creature based. What I need to do is get scry lands and Mana Confluence which will come out next month. If you think of anything else, let me know!
