Nice deck, I'm a big fan of esper ;) How about something like Pemmin's Aura, Patriar's Seal, Freed from the Real to abuse Ertai's ability ;) and maybe some token generation to always have something to sack?

Gidgetimer on Take Control

A note because it was mentioned that you could keep the creature "without having to keep Merieke tapped". Unlike Rubinia Soulsinger not untapping Merieke Ri Berit is not optional. Merieke simply doesn't untap. For that reason Freed from the Real is great in Merieke decks. Not only does it allow you to untap Merieke if something flashier comes along that you would like to take control of, but it also is basically "U: destroy target creature" in combination with your commander.

NV_1980 on Arcanis, The Warrior … and his armada

Very interesting take on Arcanis. Bribery seems a fun way to steal key cards from your opponents and thus make life more difficult for them. Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura could both prove very useful in allowing you to use Arcanis' draw ability multiple times per turn. This is a bit of an expensive upgrade, but Mind Over Matter could even allow you to have Arcanis draw your deck (at the cost of one discard per draw-cycle). Since you're a long-time Arcanis player, you might be interested on my take on him at the center of a mill-deck.

Freed from the Real - powerful untapper.

NV_1980 on Tappy Mill 2.1 (Phenax EDH)

Hi, looks good! Lots of similarities between our Phenax decks. Here are some cards I would recommend:

1. Dauthi Voidwalker: has two major benefits; exiles stuff instead of just putting it in graveyards AND it allows you to steal something valuable (which can be devastatingly effective at times, especially early game).
2. Fleet Swallower: milling someone's library on attack is nothing to sneeze at. What's especially awesome is that Swallower can target another player than the one its attacking. So you attack a player with a weak creature defense (which allows it to survive the attack) while you mill a player with a more significant board-presence.
3. Jace, Memory Adept: an excellent mill-walker and supplies you with more draw if needed.
4. Pemmin's Aura/Freed from the Real: imagine enchanting something like Charix, the Raging Isle or Tree of Perdition with these babies and then milling someone with them as many times as you have islands (or other sources of blue mana ... brutal!
5. Bloodchief Ascension: with three counters on it, this goes infinite when combined with Mindcrank.
6. Realmbreaker, the Invasion Tree: this allows you to ramp by milling; picture your opponents' faces while doing that.

Have fun with the deck!
