Description

Phenax, God of Deception BNG-152 represents a distinctive entry in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, originally released as part of The List in 2021. Created by artist Ryan Barger, this Mythic Rare Legendary Enchantment Creature — God commands a mana cost of {3}{U}{B} with a mana value of 5. It is a dual-colored card belonging to the Blue and Black colors, appealing to players who favor control and resource denial strategies. As a God, this card operates under specific rules that distinguish it from other creature types.

Once active, Phenax provides a powerful ability: you can tap it to make a target player mill cards equal to its toughness, effectively removing cards from the top of their library. The BNG-152 card number identifies its specific placement within the set, making it a sought-after piece for comprehensive collectors. The combination of its unique God subtype, potent Milling ability, and the prestige of the Mythic Rare rarity ensures its place in both competitive decks and collector portfolios. Phenax, God of Deception continues to be a significant card for those interested in the strategic nuances of Magic: The Gathering.
