Get defenders, get phenax, mill awayThis is a tap-out style of control deck. You are playing with their hand as much as you are playing with their library/graveyard.

Just started theory crafting this deck recently. I will be putting in some work this weekend and update the list.

I definitely need to update the mana base. I might need to sacrifice some of the defenders for some more spot removal.

The deck is supposed to play a slower game pace. It is a mill deck after all.
