Wait, so what you're telling me is... You built a mill deck... WITHOUT PHENAX!!!

[Ekann1]

-4 Pyxis +3 Phenax, 1 {Desecration Demon}

I think that should be good.

[Bookmeister]

You can't run Phenax and Jace. If you play Phenax though you have to run {Consuming Aberration}.

[Ekann1]

You can't run Phenax and Jace. If you play Phenax though you have to run {Consuming Aberation}.

Which Jace? And why not?

[Bookmeister]

You can't run Phenax and Jace. If you play Phenax though you have to run {Consuming Aberation}.

Which Jace? And why not?

Memory Adept. Because then you are running 10-12 5 drops.

I dont run enough creatures for phenax, my best hope would be a turn 6 mill 10... Which is a slower version of jace

Phenax would never be a creature

He cant even use his own ability so unless i have a consuming abberation down he may be virtually useless

To play him and consuming i get slowed ANOTHER turn, at which point someones just dead af

Pyxis is getting its playtesting before i drop it cuz a turn 1 pyxis is an amazing thing, its mill like 5-8 for 1 mana, if i get multiples thatd just be cool, but i mean chances are im just dreaming by having it in here, i doubt itll perform to my hopes

[Phoenix X30]

Phenax + {wall if frost} + {triton tactics} is easy mill.
Turn 5 play phenax tap 2 walls (turn 3&4) for mill 14
Turn 6 do the same thing and cast triton tactics to mill for 28 and you still have enough mana to cast jace and mill another 10.

[MisterJH]

But then i have to have 2 walls of frost, a phenax, 2 triton tactics, and not have my walls removed, all while only missing a single land drop and of course hardly milling until turn 5... That maybe be an idea for the future but i feel like id have to change the entire deck for that sort of tactic

But of course i could utilize {doorkeeper} effectively which would be sweet... So in summation, i like the idea just not for this deck
