No problem legendofa, it was actually a pleasure combing through these ancient sets. I don’t want to be a negative nelly, but let’s just say I haven’t been happy with 98% of the artwork in MtG cards for the last 10-15 years. Having a reason to look at these old expansions took me back to a better time.

Anyway, I think I found a few more for your 1st person perspective deck:

Jeweled Amulet

Touch of Vitae

Amulet of Quoz (is this one on the racist ban list? I honestly don’t know)

Broken Visage (the Homelands printing, I don’t know the tappedout set abbreviation offhand)

Jinx

Feast or Famine (both Alliances printings)

This is probably an honorable mention:

Prophecy (no hands though, but definitely 1st person)

I agree with enpc; mill decks are hard to win with in EDH without going the combo route. It sounds like your best options are combo (like Phenax and Eater of the Dead), and reanimation. Cards like Endless Obedience, Coffin Queen, and Lazav, Dimir Mastermind are all good cards to have in an EDH mill deck.

If you want to try a political deck, in my experience there are two things that help a lot:

Have a commander that doesn't look threatening. When I tried Rubinia Soulsinger and Progenitus, I noticed that generally people would leave me alone, because Rubinia is 2/3 and Progenitus won't come out until turn 7 or 8 at the earliest.

Play a ton of instants. Once your opponents learn that attacking you results in spells like Broken Visage, Evacuation, Fault Line, Rout, or Hunting Pack, they will be more reluctant to do so.

In answer to your original question, I would go with Phenax. He's harder to remove, combos very well with untap effects like Turnabout, Galvanic Alchemist, and Horseshoe Crab, and your opponents won't be too worried about him until you have seven devotion.
