@Spartan_X: Speaking of Tower Defense, if you're going to go green, black, blue mill anyway, how about Prophet of Kruphix? Or Master Biomancer?

Yes yes... Keep hating on this card, so the price stays low and I can get a play set for cheap. Then I can show all of you how frightening a fast mill deck is. Say goodbye to your library at the end of my fifth turn. 4/5.

Agreeing that mill is a terribly boring ability for the god of deception. The card is fine but I think most U/B fans wanted something more evocative and exciting.

He should give all of your creatures perplexing chimera's ability! the reminder text could read: "The rest of the game becomes unplayably confusing."

He is actually surprisingly good for mill. I do think they should come up with a new B/U mechanic though.

4.5/5

Edit: Seriously guys? 3.4? He is really good for mill. Don't rate him badly just because you thought he was gonna be some sort of amazing all around god.

Typical Dimir stuff. Works well with Lazav and Consuming Aberration.

I really wish they'd find a new general B/U mechanic, though. Mill is getting old.

It's great for mill but in the way mill is going right now its gonna take a real genius to figure out how to successfully make Phenax work in constructed,

4/5
Two Wall of Frosts can mill someone out really quickly. Combine that with Triton Tactics and Hidden Strings and you can mill for upwards to 60ish cards in one turn. Not as imaginative as some of the other gods though. Fun times with Duskmantle Guildmage since all those abilities can be used during the end step before your turn allowing you to block, then deal damage with mill.

So no one thought about Inspire when they critique this card?

It makes sense that Wizards made a mill god, as the Dimir are the kings of mill, and this guy will be in standard with them. Also, am I the only person who likes this card?
