*Sigh* Of course he mills. Had to be mill. I guess he is reasonably efficient at it at least? Bleh who am I kidding. It is an indestructible mill source so there's that. Kind of Nephalia Drownyardish, considerably worse of course but that was a fine card. Frostburn Weird is friends with Phenax.

Yeah, I guess hoping that Phenax actually being playable was out of the question

I burst out laughing when I saw Phenax was about milling!

Instead of side by side, you should put Phenax on the bottom... because he's underwhelming.

Edit: For those who thought the gods would be too powerful if Nightveil Specter counted twice for devotion... yeah, maybe not so much.

Soooo, I think I'll definitely get my hands on Phenax, change my Wrexial deck to an Oona deck and be all about the mills. Speaking of milling, I wonder when WotC's going to get off this 'UB is only for milling' thing. UB's for ninjas too, gosh.

Does anyone else think there's almost enough support to build a modern blue/black milling deck now?

I would try, but I am not sure my playgroup would appreciate such an avant garde approach to deck building.

Oh for the love of...

WotC, STOP MAKING U/B MILL CARDS. JUST STOP.

At least it is toughness and not power, so some kind of janky mill-wall deck can do something. It would have been full pants-on-head if it was power.
