9-lives honestly, I know next to nothing about Warhammer 40K, but looking at their lore it looks like something they might say. They do seem to like bells, lol. But the name of this deck is just derived from the Sphinx of the Chimes because I thought it sounded cool.

king-saproling Thrumming stone would definitely work well with Persistent Petitioners and I have debated seeking out that card in paper. Sadly though it is a rather pricey card. I would probably purchase a Bruvac the Grandiloquent as a better commander slot before I get Thrumming Stone.
As for Sphinx of the Chimes and Echoing Truth, both of those options are cheap purchases and make for good card draw and protection synergy with petitioners. I will definitely have to keep my eye out for those in paper. Thank you for the great suggestions!

Thanks Grind!
It could use a couple more lands, and I might be able to swap out for that.... but I need to pick wisely, and don’t want to mess with any of the pairs of cards already in to help w/ Sphinx of the Chimes ability....

UW Petitioner Self Mill...Reanimator Combo?

In no particular order, I've got some suggestions you might have a look at. Some cards are just to round out the deck and give you a little more defensive capability, and others are to fully lean-into the self-mill theme you've got going. In particular, you might want to put in more blink effects so you can tap your Petitioners more than once per turn/round.
Still a super freaking cool concept! It turns what the card was MEANT to do on its head, and makes it that much more potent (it's easier to mill just one person-- yourself-- than it is to try and handle all your opponents at once instead).

This is a really interesting list. I had been working on a Phenax, God of Deception list myself and struggling with card draw, something Damia addresses quite nicely. I have a couple of thoughts about your deck I'd like to share.
Looking at your draw spells, it seems to me that if someone was able to get a board wipe through you would be S.O.L., since most of it relies on either having a lot of Petitioners either on the field or in your hand. If an opponent were to wrath and put you in a position where you had neither it would be difficult for you to recover, other than playing replaying Damia and waiting a rotation. I would personally cut Villainous Wealth for Blue Sun's Zenith , if nothing else.
I would also cut Diabolic Tutor , which I feel is overcosted, and replace it with Secret Salvage on the grounds that it thins your deck considerably, and when you discard to hand (or to fuel Sphinx of the Chimes ) you gain the potential to have all of your Petitioners on the field at once with Bloodbond March .
It may just come down to personal preference, but since you are in green and therefor have access to land-based ramp like Cultivate I would run those over the signets and Fellwar Stone as lands tend to be much more resilient. Another of those "preference" things is that, wherever possible, I strive for recurring effects over one-offs. As such, I would suggest Phyrexian Reclamation instead of Eternal Witness .
Other cards that are viable in this deck but not really elsewhere in EDH: Nantuko Shrine Pack Hunt Locket of Yesterdays
