I find Rite of the Raging Storm does a lot of work in a Chaos type deck, it also makes sure opponents have some defenses up (or they're going to get swamped by 5/1 Trample tokens), extra good with some kind of Goad effect.

My all time favorite Chaos effect is probably Thieves' Auction, this is extra good if you run cards that don't care about who controls them, they'll go last and odds are someone else will get stuck with it, and the effects continue! You get to pick first, so you'll always get the best thing.

Static Orb is one of the crazier Stax pieces, and it's got huge synergy with your Commander IMHO because you don't need mana to cheat out your next crazy effect, just to swing! You could also try Winter Orb, but Static Orb changes the game FAR more (fwiw both out is also great for obvious reasons). Not many people remember Smoke at this point, but it's a reasonably strong effect. Silent Arbiter would be pretty funny with your Commander, you're much harder to swarm AND nobody can block your Commander!

I'm not sure if you enjoying sharing your fun, but I've had a blast using Allure of the Unknown, usually I give the player who's behind a free spell, this is especially useful if you're using spells/effects that are symmetrical.

Oh, since this list should mulligan INCREDIBLY well, how about Winds of Change? If you play this turn one before everyone else goes then you will have DRAMATICALLY changed the game without having risked much yourself, since you simply need 2 more mana to cast your Commander, one of them Black.

I like Silent Arbiter for this deck. It doesn't really hurt you since you'll most likely only attack with one creature anyway, and it limits the offensive and defensive abilities of the opponents. Personal Preference, I really like vigilance. One of the worst feelings is having lethal on board for one opponent but can't attack for fear of the next player attacking you.

I think Walking Ballista would make a lot of sense in here, as you'll be able to generate plenty of mana to keep it around as point removal for annoying (small) creatures. Also, I'd really recommend Crawlspace and/or Silent Arbiter, so that opponents will have a harder time to go wide at you. Ensnaring Bridge could be used for a similar purpose, but to ward off stronger creatures. Maybe Goblin Welderfoil could help you with retaining artifacts that were blasted off the battlefield in favor of less important ones.

Hi fellow Yargle and Multani wielder! You've given me a few ideas on what I would change about my take on this deck. Hopefully you won't mind if I return the favor :)

Most notably, you have very little in here to prevent token decks from swamping you with too many creatures to block. I've solved this by adding stuff like Crawlspace, Jaheira's Respite, No Mercy and Silent Arbiter. There's more ways you can add to make Yargle/Multani very hard to stop as well. Prowler's Helm and Whispersilk Cloak for instance.

Anyways, looks good otherwise! Have fun with the deck.

I have run Phenax basically since he came out. I like your brew! Here are a few things that work well for me.

Card draw is important: Fallowsage , Into the Story , and Visions of Beyond have put in a ton of work for me. Combo potential: Intruder Alarm , Zellix, Sanity Flayerfoil , and Undead Alchemist all seem to work well with what you already have. Other: Gyruda, Doom of Depths has been an absolute powerhouse for me. Sheoldred  Flip has a decent body and is easy to flip. Silent Arbiter is also good against a lot of go wide decks. Trinket Mage may be small, but it can tutor up sol ring, Alter of the Brood, and Soul Guide Lantern depending on what you need - very versatile. Wight of Precinct Six can get enormous for only 2 mana.

Good luck and happy brewing!

There are a few things in the deck such as Alpha Authority, Trailblazer's Boots, and Silent Arbiter that reduce the amount of blockers against Wilson, Refined Grizzly to ensure combat damage goes through. I can see how Nemesis Mask + Deathtouch = Boardwipes, but I want to do more playtesting with the little-to-no-blocker cards first before I add Nemesis Mask.

When I read Quietus Spike to my GF, she said that it was nuts lol. I'll find a spot for it right now.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Silent Arbiter and/or Dueling Grounds, also Ulvenwald Tracker to make the fights one on one per say. Along with the fighting theme you could look at Tahngarth, Talruum Hero. If you want to lean into some of your fighters I would look at Feather, the Redeemed when leaning into blanka and Ken. For some more ideas you might consider looking at the gatherer with a text of name search for Fight, duel, and/or brawl since those should help fit your theme idea.

I love this commander... are things like Crawlspace/Silent Arbiter necessary in a deck like this (in case of removal of the commander?) or maybe Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots? and would things like Gideon of the Trials and Approach of the Second Sun fit in a strategy like this?

My brother is building this deck and we've only played a few games with it so im curious what may have to say about it?
