![]() Plus, shuffling my graveyard back into my library tends to lengthen the time it takes to finish the game, so contributing to faster games is always appreciated.Įlixir of Immortality | Art by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai If I can’t win with Laboratory Maniac by milling myself out the first time, I don’t deserve to win the second time around. There are no ways of recycling the graveyard back into the library: even a single copy of Elixir of Immortality or Psychic Spiral can help with this one weakness, but I have decided against playing cards like those. Phenax is pivotal in the deck’s strategy in either milling out the opponent(s) or milling yourself out, so you’ll want to get him out there as soon as possible. The deck often sits at the table, not doing much until the very late portion of the game, which makes the Partial Paris mulligan so vital for ditching late-game cards in favor of mana-ramp and draw spells. How this deck plays out can be described as durdly: it looks like a control deck, but there are definitely more cards in the deck that are either part of a combo or necessary in putting a combo together. While it is still a completely viable option (and I have won many game this way), changing the deck to be more self-mill allows the deck to take advantage of a full graveyard and assemble the necessary combos it needs to win from there. I had actually already had Phenax at the helm of an EDH deck, but it was one of the typical Phenax EDH decks, where I would attempt to mill out my opponents as my main win-condition. After CommanderTheory posted this article in response to a user-submitted decklist about a year and a half ago, I knew I had to make my own Blue-Black Dredge list. ![]() Phenax is probably the fourth Commander to ever lead an EDH deck of mine, and it is this very concoction that I am most proud of creating. If you click the link, a lot of information on how the deck functions is written in the description, so I would like to go into further detail about my personal experience with the deck in today’s Commander Corner. The first deck we’re highlighting is our very own Editor-in-Chief’s Phenax Dredge Combo deck. Here, we will feature decks that the staff own or brew personally, and down the line, we can feature decks submitted by users like you! Hi, everyone! Welcome to Commander Corner, the column in which The Burnished Hart will discuss all things EDH. Mdfcs can only be your commander if the front face is a legendary creature.Phenax, God of Deception | Art by Ryan Barger Hellkite courser, that steals from the command zone, would bring in the front face only and give it haste even if the front was an equipment.Įdit: it was a mistake. But if there is one, it would make for some weird interactions. So far there are no MDFCs legends that are not creatures on front. And that's frankly bizarre considering these cards are meant to be the front face in every zone except stack or battlefield. ![]() Mostly obvious, command tax applies to the card itself, and you can cast either side from the command zone.īut oddly Sheldon says that even a MDFC that is a noncreature on the front, and legendary creature on the back is still a legal commander. If both faces are creatures, both faces will deal commander damage in combat. For example, if you cast Valki, God of Lies and it then dies, casting Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor will cost 7BR and recasting Valki will cost 3B. Command tax is applicable to the card itself, regardless of which face you cast. You may cast either face from the command zone. If a Modal Double-Faced card has a legendary creature on one face, the card can be your commander. If a Modal Double-Faced card has a legendary creature on its front face, the card can be your commander. Edit: in case anyone missed it, the correct ruling has been updated
