Goldfish an opening hand, or simulate thousands of games to see how consistently Phenax, God of Deception comes down on curve. Nothing is saved.
Phenax, God of Deception stays in the command zone — this goldfishes the other 99 cards. Draw an opening seven, mulligan with the London rule, and step turns to see how the deck plays out.
Hypergeometric odds over a 99-card library (the deck minus your commander).
