This is the third deck in the Grim Contest Trilogy, alongside Toughness Trilogy, Ep. I: Walls R 4 Fite!! and Toughness Trilogy, Ep. II: Butt Fight For The Win!. It uses low-P/high-T creatures and then capitalizes on them using Phenax.

This deck has been reworked as of 2022 to be more of a straight Blue deck with splashes of Black. Fundamentally, milling is a Blue theme, and I was able to simplify the mana base by replacing many of the Black cards.

I play this deck primarily at work. My wife already declared that if I use it against her, she will murder me, castrate me and divorce me. In that order.
