Arby_Q on Wanting to make a mill …

I agree with enpc; mill decks are hard to win with in EDH without going the combo route. It sounds like your best options are combo (like Phenax and Eater of the Dead), and reanimation. Cards like Endless Obedience, Coffin Queen, and Lazav, Dimir Mastermind are all good cards to have in an EDH mill deck.

If you want to try a political deck, in my experience there are two things that help a lot:

Have a commander that doesn't look threatening. When I tried Rubinia Soulsinger and Progenitus, I noticed that generally people would leave me alone, because Rubinia is 2/3 and Progenitus won't come out until turn 7 or 8 at the earliest.

Play a ton of instants. Once your opponents learn that attacking you results in spells like Broken Visage, Evacuation, Fault Line, Rout, or Hunting Pack, they will be more reluctant to do so.

In answer to your original question, I would go with Phenax. He's harder to remove, combos very well with untap effects like Turnabout, Galvanic Alchemist, and Horseshoe Crab, and your opponents won't be too worried about him until you have seven devotion.
