Is {Phenax, God of Deception} devotion cost 7 blue and 7 black separately or totaled together?
Totaled together.
So if on the field there is {Phenax, God of Deception}, {Desecration Demon},
{Tidebinder Mage}, and {Cloudfin Raptor}, you've activated phenax
Also hybrid cards only count for 1 towards the total
{nightveil spector} counts as 3 blue and 3 black, but when counting towards a single god it counts as only 3 total.

I was actually just searching for this and thn came here to ask this question, can you post a reference? For some reason I'm having trouble finding it.

-Your devotion to two colors is equal to the number of mana symbols that are the first color, the second color, or both colors among the mana costs of permanents you control. Specifically, a hybrid mana symbol counts only once toward your devotion to its two colors.
in the part about devotion
Not meaning to get off track but I think a common mislead with devotion
Is people think you need 7 blue and 7 black devotion seperately,
So they want the mixed mana cards such as {Nightveil specter} to be
3 blue and 3 black, but get confused as to it only counting for one color as 3 blue OR 3 black
As it needs to only total 7 collectively it wouldnt matter what color it is devoted to.
I just hoping since it is blue and black, that it would count for both....just wanted clarification in rules to be sure. Hope and dreams shot down quickly lol!!!

In short, it does count for both, for a total of three.
