Deck overview

Phenax, God of Deception commands a Dimir mill deck that weaponizes high toughness and mill multipliers into rapid deck-depletion engines. The primary game plan deploys high-toughness blockers like Charix, the Raging Isle and Tree of Perdition to stall attacks while Phenax turns their defensive stats into massive end-of-turn mill. The deck accelerates into decisive finishes using potent two-card synergies, most notably the infinite mill loop between Phenax and Eater of the Dead, as well as Bruvac the Grandiloquent paired with half-library mill spells like Maddening Cacophony and Cut Your Losses. Secondary lines leverage Syr Konrad, the Grim to burn opponents as libraries empty.
