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 Flayer
, 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!

The Horror ... THE HORROR! *PRIMER*
1 year ago
Yeah, Roaming Throne is pretty pricey, since it can be slotted into pretty much any deck that Typal/Tribal or has a commander with great activated abilities, so everyone needs a copy (And this deck has both groups haha).
And that's cool to hear about the Medallions! It's good to know that they've been useful. I might give them another try later on.
If you do end up adding both Roaming Throne and the Everflowing Chalice combo, you can double the triggers when you cast a spell and bounce all your opponents nonland permanents to their hand, thus soft locking them out of the game! It's brutal, but we are here to Mill our opponents, we aren't trying to be gentle haha.
And I hate to say it, but Mind Grind isn't actually Mill. Mill just puts the card in the graveyard. The act of revealing cards until you hit X lands is somehow different enough for WotC, so it wont trigger the Captain or Zellix, Sanity Flayer, who specifically care about the Mill Keyword. I ran Mind Grind in my Mill deck when it was helmed by Lazav, Dimir Mastermind, because he doesn't care how the card enters the graveyard to copy. Once I switched over to the Captain, I was pretty sad that I could keep Mind Grind in, because it was so powerful and flavorful.

[Zellix] Kill with Mill (unlikely)
1 year ago
Fun looking deck! I've got a similar Mill deck too.
Something to note though. Tasha's Hideous Laughter exiles those cards, so if you're trying to capitalize on the Mill keyword to work with Zellix, Sanity Flayer, that won't work. Same with Mind Grind, it technically isn't Mill, so Zellix, Sanity Flayer won't trigger.
I'd suggest Court of Cunning. It's a good way to hit multiple opponents at the same time, potentially getting you three to four Horror tokens each upkeep. And it introduces Monarch, which can cause all kinds of shenanigans haha.

Sorry for the double post, I am new to the site and am slowly getting my collection added. Zellix, Sanity Flayer has a F treatment, but is only showing a normal treatment in the database.

This list looks nasty and I hope to never play against it! Plus One on the Upvote. :)
Potentials:
An Offer You Can't Refuse for those counter battles? Downside may not be worth it unless you're stopping or ending the game.
Breach the Multiverse would give a similar effect to Villainous Wealth for each opponent albeit at higher mana value.
Drown in the Loch for a cheap and versatile counter/removal spell.
Syr Konrad, the Grim would be great for ping down your opponents with each milling of a creature. Random mill ability tacked on as well.
Potential Replacements? (IDK this list seems perfect):
Vedalken Orrery this Josh Lee Kwai favorite maybe worth a cut? I see what you're going for with holding up your counter-spells and then flashing in something of value if nothing worth a card is cast.
Yeva, Nature's Herald only 9 targets counting the commander.
Leyline of Anticipation I guess what I am suggesting is to try the deck with the counter-spells but without the 3 flash enablers.
Thought Scour hard to find anything to replace so I choose this smoother.
You do have ~53 piece of land/ramp; Maybe a one card wiggle room with the nice curve you have going.
Anyways decklist is already 10/10.

Altar of the Brood says hello. Goes well with Zellix, Sanity Flayer and really pops off in groups of 4 or more

Phenax of the Many Mills

I think with black you have a few better ways to interact with the whole Mill-Theme. Some cards like Geth, Lord of the Vault make use of good artifacts and creatures milled by youre opponents.
And some other thoughts: Sewer Nemesis can get strong really fast. Dread Summons builds an army out of nothing (and you can use them with Phenax). Dreadhound ping like Konrad. Court of Cunning brings in monarch and brings consistently mill. Belltower Sphinx budget friendly protector and Phenax friend. Fractured Sanity hits every opponent and doesn´t care about hexproof
Not so budget friendly options: Intruder Alarm might be very strong with Phenax. Zellix, Sanity Flayer a great way to build some bodys for protection/Phenax and will trigger very often. Bruvac the Grandiloquent doubles mill.
Oh and what else comes to mind Zellix, Sanity Flayer with somthing like Hedron Crawler and Intruder Alarm never ends if youre opponent mills a creature.

Possibly cutting Gleaming Barrier, Zellix, Sanity Flayer, and Semblance Anvil for 3 rocks (sol ring, arcane signet, and if we can afford it Jeweled Lotus
