UB Mill Deck - Named for the local creek in my childhood neighborhood, Mill Creek.

Based around Phenax, God of Deception, this deck gets out high toughness blockers (with abilities), draws cards and scries to accelerate process, then protects and mills. I am a big fan of combos, and I tried to infuse this deck with a bunch of them, all with that singular mill focus.

Favorite Combos:

Phenax, God of Deception AND Eater of the Dead

Phenax, God of Deception AND Consuming Aberration / Nighthowler / Bonehoard / Sewer Nemesis / Wight of Precinct Six + Pemmin's Aura / Freed from the Real

Phenax, God of Deception AND King Macar, the Gold-Cursed + Pemmin's Aura / Freed from the Real

Phenax, God of Deception AND Disciple of Deceit

Phenax, God of Deception AND Tree of Perdition + Pemmin's Aura / Freed from the Real After life and toughness swap

Fraying Sanity AND Traumatize

Duskmantle Guildmage AND Mindcrank

Mostly looking to optimize at this point, any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
