Fleet Swallower

Creature — Fish

Whenever this attacks, target player mills half their library, rounded up. (That player puts the top half of their library into their graveyard.)

From the looks of this deck you've done a good job with mana efficiency.

Also, its important to remember the color identity rule. I'm a little spotty on multi-colored lands, but Nihil Spellbomb and Simic Locket could be seen as a violation of the rule.

With Bruvac as your commander, redundancy in instant win plays is important. Which is why I recommend adding Cut Your Losses and Fleet Swallower.

You've done good putting in cards that mill each opponent. This will help get around spells and abilities that give your opponents hexproof. With all the draw spells, may I recommend adding Psychic Corrosion? This will mill each opponent as you draw. In fact, if you add Jace's Archivist it will not only feed into Psychic Corrosion, but Fraying Sanity as well. In which case you may also want to consider adding Mystic Redaction to your deck.

Also, with your desire for Counter spells, you may want to look for spots for Countermand, Didn't Say Please, and Thought Collapse. While you cannot counter a card like Carnage Tyrant, you can still target the spell and force the spell's controller to mill.

At this stage keep Into the Roil in your deck for as long as you can. Outside of counter spells, this will be your best defense against Wheel of Sun and Moon. May I also suggest Nevinyrral's Disk? Not only is it another way to deal with Wheel of Sun and Moon, but also serves as a board wipe.

Also, I'd highly recommend Drowned Secrets since you're running a mono blue deck.

If at some point you choose to shift some of your deck towards more creatures, may I recommend Persistent Petitioners? With Bruvac also being an advisor, you can give him something to do other than sit around and be a target. And at 3 toughness, each copy can buy you some time against a battlefield of 4/4 tramplers. It would also give you the added bonus of giving your commander some protection from spells that would cause it to goad.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Hi, looks good! Lots of similarities between our Phenax decks. Here are some cards I would recommend:

  1. Dauthi Voidwalker: has two major benefits; exiles stuff instead of just putting it in graveyards AND it allows you to steal something valuable (which can be devastatingly effective at times, especially early game).
  2. Fleet Swallower: milling someone's library on attack is nothing to sneeze at. What's especially awesome is that Swallower can target another player than the one its attacking. So you attack a player with a weak creature defense (which allows it to survive the attack) while you mill a player with a more significant board-presence.
  3. Jace, Memory Adept: an excellent mill-walker and supplies you with more draw if needed.
  4. Pemmin's Aura/Freed from the Real: imagine enchanting something like Charix, the Raging Isle or Tree of Perdition with these babies and then milling someone with them as many times as you have islands (or other sources of blue mana ... brutal!
  5. Bloodchief Ascension: with three counters on it, this goes infinite when combined with Mindcrank.
  6. Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree: this allows you to ramp by milling; picture your opponents' faces while doing that.

Have fun with the deck!

legendofa on fleet swallower and pedantic learning

The Fleet Swallower effect must fully resolve before the triggers are put on the stack. So your first thought is correct; you mill half your library at once, then count the number of lands that were milled and get that many Pedantic Learning triggers.

Even if the cards were milled one at a time, the same rule applies. One effect must fully resolve before another can happen.

Since this is posted in a Commander forum, I'd like to draw your attention to the Fraying Sanity + Fleet Swallower, if you were not already aware of this lethal combo. Looks like WOTC printed another tool for this now.

Try adding more tribal cards like Kindred Discovery, Vanquisher's Banner, or Coat of Arms. Or if the theme is mill try adding cards like Cut Your Losses and Fleet Swallower

Cut Your Losses might be good in this deck as well as Fleet Swallower

Rite of Replication maybe? Quicksilver Gargantuan

You have a bunch of Legendary creatures so maybe Spark Double, Helm of the Host or wasn't there an old artifact that let you ignore the Legendary rule?

Cloning the Master Biomancer makes a stupid amount of counters. Good call.

Possibly Traumatize, Fleet Swallower or Nemesis of Reason

Some quality self-mill cards:

Angel of Suffering, Fleet Swallower, Screaming Swarm (If you're going wide), Selhoff Occultist, Sewer Nemesis
