Strategy

The "Phenax, God of Deception" Commander deck revolves around milling your opponents' libraries, utilizing cards like Consuming Aberration, Traumatize, Mind Grind, and Fractured Sanity to quickly decrease their library size. Phenax himself is a great enabler for this strategy, letting you tap your creatures to mill whenever they deal combat damage. The good points of this deck include its ability to disrupt your opponents' game plan by getting rid of their crucial cards in their libraries, potentially causing them to deck out. Cards like Duskmantle Guildmage and Mindcrank provide alternative win conditions that can catch your opponents off guard. The deck also has good control elements with cards like Counterspell and Wall of Frost to protect yourself while setting up your milling strategy. However, the deck's weakness lies in its vulnerability to fast aggro strategies that can overwhelm you before you can set up your milling engine. Additionally, graveyard hate can disrupt your strategy by exiling key cards like Consuming Aberration or Mortivore. Overall, the Phenax deck is a fun and unique way to play Commander, focusing on a mill strategy that can catch your opponents by surprise while providing a challenging and interactive gameplay experience.
