So, I'm trying to make a mill focused modern deck with Phenax, God of Deception.
Do you guys think it is worth to splash white to put some Athreos, God of Passage for some sinergy with Phenax? High toughness creatures that mill when they enter the battlefield or attack. And maybe some other white cards also.
Anyway, advises on this and land cards would be great! Thanks!

Path to Exile is a little too much for me, but it is an awesome card indeed.
Do you think it is worth to focus on defender creatures? I was thinking about using Circu, Dimir Lobotomist, Consuming Aberration, Duskmantle Guildmage, Wight of Precinct Six, Wrexial, the Risen Deep, Nightveil Specter and Shimian Specter.

You've got Jace's Phantasm and Visions of Beyond too.
I wouldn't focus on defender but they're the best to mill with Phenax. If you want mill to be the way to go then I'd say you don't really care about dealing damage, right? Soaking them is a thing though :)
IF you have the budget (IF), go with a playset of Glimpse the Unthinkable. Best mill card ever printed ;)

Yeah, Glimpse is a hell of a card, but is a hell of a price also haha
I just did the deck..i'm not too sure about it..it needs a lot of work.

Just so you know, mill isn't exactly a viable strategy in modern. It's fun, but it's generally going to be a couple turns too slow to beat good decks.

Yes, i'm aware of that. I play mostly for fun. I want to play standard competitive.
Btw, thanks for the tips frusciante7!

Konjiikhan Well..i would love, but Snapcaster and Glimpse are "unbuyable". Too much for me.

You should play white. Wanna know why? Wall of Denial, Wall of Omens and Wall of Reverence. But mostly Wall of Denial. And Path to Exile. They don't activate Phenax but they mill for a s***load of cards.
That's all you need to know :)
