mtg phenax god of deception commander deck Phenax, | Born of the Gods - Japanese From the Born of the Gods set. Phenax, God of Deception, Secret

Its a testament to the beauty found in the beastly, and the capacity of composition to tell new stories

Its not flashy but that level of card advantage does win games

you have aggressive decks that swarm the board with as many Savannah Lions and Monastery Swiftspears as they can and controlling decks that use two or three Torrential Gearhulks as their win condition

Mostly however this clogs up your hand in the early game and is too hard to cast before the cast trigger ceases to get good value

This is quite a powerful bomb from many different angles with the token making and the artifact pumping

It allows your team to get in without worrying about losing them in combat, which can be pretty nice especially if you have other beefy stuff that gets better with trample
