Parallax Nexus
Enchantment
Fading 5 (This enchantment enters the battlefield with five fade counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a fade counter from it. If you can't, sacrifice it.)
Remove a fade counter from Parallax Nexus: Target opponent exiles a card from his or her hand. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.
When Parallax Nexus leaves the battlefield, each player returns to his or her hand all cards he or she owns exiled with Parallax Nexus.

No, it won't. Warped Devotion mentions a permanent, and in Magic an object is only a permanent if it's on the battlefield. It would have to mention "permanent cards" if it would include Parallax Nexus in the options.
So only Cyclonic Rift- or Unsummon-like effects will cause a player to discard.

I was wondering if the card Warped Devotion will force players to discard permanent cards when they are returned to their hand from exile, like Parallax Nexus will.

Cool deck! You might like these: Demonic Pact, Liliana's Contract, Delaying Shield, Force Bubble, Burning Earth, Manabarbs, Smoke, Blood Moon, Oblivion Ring (check this out: if you respond to O-Ring's ETB trigger by sacking O-Ring, you exile the target permanently! Works with Journey to Nowhere too), Parallax Nexus (like O-Ring, activate the first ability 5 times and before the abilities resolve, sac the Nexus. Those cards are gone forever!), Parallax Wave, Parallax Dementia

1empyrean, I totally feel that Parallax Nexus could have been a good card if it wasn't for the short sighted-ness of the card's designers. Thinking back on that Specter tribal Bolas deck - I was given one heck of a whallop. It was a 1v1 game, and I was way too greedy on the opening hand - which was primarily mana rocks that produced colorless mana. My deck at the time was a different list, as I didn't acquire most of the very pricey lands on the list. No excuse for a pilot who kept a bad hand though.
S1ayerMonkey, appreciate the +1! Thank you for being honest - i've put alot of effort into this decklist (and page) hoping to perfect my own vision for Atraxa. I recall Grip of Phyresis, I found it adorable that the germ token was wielding the Sword of Body and Mind - such a shame that sword is hot trash though. I feel that Sword of Truth and Justice should have been the previously mentioned card. Oh well. At one point Praetor's Grasp was in the deck, but it didn't feel cohesive to the strategy I was beginning to implement in the deck. At the time I was running cards like Ghostly Prison - playing to the strategy of "Get counters on players, lock them out of resources/make it impossible for them to get damage on me and proliferate the poison counters on opponents". Honestly, I never enjoyed playing that way so I adjusted to what you see before you now.

1empyrean, ah yes - I did consider Parallax Nexus at one point, but your words sum up the spell perfectly: "Its not as good as the other 2 fading enchantments". Early game, I think it can really put in some work but unfortunately it can only fire off at Sorcery speed. That's what really holds it back - if it was structured at instant speed then you can bet your bottom dollar it'd be in this deck alongside it's White and Blue Siblings.

This comment is specifically about the double masters art. I despise both of the new arts and I agree that a lot of the new stuff is too comic-book-y. A few of the alternate arts from ikoria make it work, but not these 2.
I know its not as good as the other 2 fading enchantments, but did Parallax Nexus just not make the cut? I can see it overlapping a bit with Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, but covering the early game.

Hello all,
I'm still tweaking and experimenting with my latest creation:
The Song of Phyresis
Commander / EDH
SCORE: 93 | 60 COMMENTS | 7674 VIEWS | IN 32 FOLDERS
It's a Phyrexian themed Atraxa led Infect deck that uses Stax and counters (+1/+1, -1/-1, and Fading) to enable the Infect wincon. I'm considering swapping out one particular card - Hadana's Climb Flip for one of the following:
What I want for the card slot is to have a card that can protect me from taking too much combat damage - and enable Infect.
