Venum on Tappy Mill 2.1 (Phenax EDH)

Happy to see another Phenax deck enjoyer.

May I suggest Psychic Corrosion, it's just too great with Rhystic StudyGC / Mystic Remora to not have it.

Unstoppable Plan could also be a game finisher since you can tap your creature twice per turn for additionnal mill, wink wink Tree of Perdition .

Mortivore is also a great Creature for Mill deck AND you can regenerate when it dies.

I have replaced Rhystic StudyGC, Smothering TitheGC, and Keranos, God of Storms with Frostcliff Siege, Myrel, Shield of Argive, and Thassa, God of the Sea, because, as great as the existing cards were, I feel that the newer cards better suit the theme of this deck.

clayperce me personally, because I don't have a job yet I don't have an exact budget. I think the most I might be willing to spend on lands would be ~$150-$175. I already know the deck is gonna be pricey due to Rhystic StudyGC but nonetheless I think it would be an awesome deck and I also mainly wanted to share my idea for free creatures that are beefy

legendofa Love the reccommendations. me personally, I only own Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Cultivator Colossus, Peer into the Abyss, Progenitus, A Realm Reborn, and Chromatic Lantern. I will be buying the rest of the cards whenever I'm able to, and as long as the cards aren't too expensive (ahemmm Rhystic StudyGC) then I would definitely add them in. also I think just adding in first of Suns and still keeping in the Jodah, Archmage Eternal might be good but I use Morophon, the Boundless as the commander so I have a 2 in 50 chance to get the dinos to be free. later today I'm going to get the name of all the bi-tri lands that I have and find out what ones of those are better for the mana base

Optimator on Roses of May -- (Marchesa Threaten)

Last_Laugh thank you for your comments. I am aware of how strong Danny Pink is in this deck. That's why he gets a 2x in the maybeboard and is listed in my "cards to add" spoiler. Just haven't gotten around to buying one or proxy-ing one. I just added a real one to my Piper Wright, Publick Reporter deck Truth is the First Casualty (Piper Clues). Great card. Will add one day.

I run Gary in three other decks, and one even loops him over and over already (Rooftop Experiments (Zombie Tribal)), so I didn't feel the need. I also was concerned about reliably having enough black pips. I just like the Kamigawa dragons too, so I wanted to run Kuuks. Better attacker than Gary, with the flying.

Satoru, the Infiltrator is on the shortlist of adds too; also in the "to add" spoiler. Just haven't gotten around to it. All the adds from the last update were from my existing collection. I'm thinking about proxy-ing an optimized mana-base for this deck and would maybe add more upgrades then. This isn't a deck I'm trying to truly optimize (hence the Threaten theme). I even took out Rhystic StudyGC and Jeska's WillGC from the deck.

Up-votes on any of my decks are appreciated.

Thanks zap, appreciate the feedback! First, thanks for the sideboard thoughts, and yeah, Rhystic StudyGC probably isn't the best in this deck. As far as backup plan goes, this deck very deliberately has no backup plan. I want to find a list that makes this strategy efficient and competitive in a very hostile environment. So Nadu could be a good include, but I'm only going to include him if he accelerates the main win con or provides other utility. For this particular deck, if I win by any other means than getting my Hedron Alignments aligned, I've lost the game.

As for Swords to Plowshares, are you thinking of running them just to slow the opponent down? As far as adding control goes, I mostly want to do that on the basis of actual play experience, because it's hard to read the right balance of control without actually playing the cards.

Thoughtseize goes straight in, because we can also target ourselves to get a Hedron Alignment into the graveyard that way

russianbeast93, In higher powered tables Mystic Remora can function as a Ancestral Recall as few players are unable or unwilling to pay the {4} tax on their (non-creature) spells. I've encountered the phrase "Feed the Fish?" As the tax effect triggers and the opponent is prompted. This is similar to the "Do you pay the {1}?" In reference to Rhystic StudyGC.

It is important to note however that this spell falls flat on its face at lower powered tables, as players tend to lean on creature heavy strategies with less interaction. In other words the lower the power of the pod, the less effective Mystic Remora becomes.

True, 6 is the average. But if a player gets greedy with a Sylvan Library or gets an early game Rhystic StudyGC then you would be able to really capitalize. The real power is when your Commander is on the battlefield. Digging into your library for more options can take a good turn and make it an explosive one.
