{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a Dimir Commander deck built around Phenax, God of Deception, with a simple idea: turn your creatures’ toughness into milling power.\nThe deck builds a defensive fortress using high-toughness creatures such as Wall of Frost, Glacial Wall, Fog Bank, Guard Gomazoa, and Hover Barrier. These creatures protect you from attacks early in the game, then become powerful mill engines once Phenax enters the battlefield.\nThe main strategy is to establish your defenses, cast Phenax, and tap your creatures to mill your opponents. The higher their toughness, the more cards they can mill. Cards like Mesmeric Orb, Ruin Crab, Court of Cunning, Maddening Cacophony, Fractured Sanity, and Tasha’s Hideous Laughter help accelerate this plan.\nBruvac the Grandiloquent makes the strategy even more dangerous by doubling the amount of cards your opponents mill. Combined with powerful mill effects such as Traumatize, he can remove enormous portions of a library at once.\nThe deck also takes advantage of the graveyards it creates. Consuming Aberration, Mortivore, Wight of Precinct Six, Sewer Nemesis, and Guiltfeeder become increasingly threatening as opposing graveyards fill up.\nFinally, cards such as Thousand-Year Elixir, Freed from the Real, Intruder Alarm, and Eater of the Dead provide ways to untap creatures and reuse Phenax’s ability.\nOverall, this is a defensive mill deck that turns walls and other high-toughness creatures into weapons. It starts by building an intimidating defensive board, then slowly grinds away opposing libraries before finishing them with massive mill effects.\n"}]}
