Miridian Bracket 3 by LeeDicious

Commander: Phenax, God of Deception

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Phenax, God of Deception leads a Dimir mill deck that turns high-toughness creatures into repeatable mill activations. The primary plan is to establish Phenax with walls such as Wall of Frost and then tap them each turn, while Bruvac the Grandiloquent doubles every mill trigger. Backup lines include Traumatize, kicked Maddening Cacophony, Fleet Swallower, and passive engines like Mesmeric Orb. Syr Konrad plus Mindcrank adds a life-loss-to-mill drain chain, and Captain N'ghathrod/Extract from Darkness can steal opponent cards. The deck is interactive but slow; it wins by grinding through all three libraries with overlapping mill effects rather than one fast combo.
