i just recently pulled Nin, the Pain Artist from a draft i wanted to build her but in a different way most have wanted. i more wanted to build a bit of a hug deck that i utilize better than my opponents and even hurt them for benefiting from me. but my knowledge of cards isn't that grand. the cards that did however immediately come to mind is psychosis crawler, consecrated sphinx, sphinx's tutelage, and alhammarret's archive. i did a little bit of research and found cards like black vise and stuffy doll but i wanted to hear from others on potential cards. i don't mind having one or two ways to go infinite but not really looking for anymore than that. the idea is to force them to draw cards while punishing them for drawing said cards.
For the mana base i knew i needed a lot of access to mana so im running cards like Mana Flare and Empowered Autogenerator but other than the basic ramp cards like izzet locket and sol ring that is all i have for ramp in these colors
One thing i remember having in an old nin deck was stuffy doll. Good fun all around. If you wanna punish people for drawing cards, its nekusar, the mindrazer you want, i suspect. Nin is more along the lines of board control/group hugs/something along those lines that you'd wanna do.
Have you, by any chance, seen the website known as edhrec? It's a site dedicated to helping budding deckbuilders come up with cards that synergise with another card. Could help just by punching in nin, and see what pops up.
Another site (that's more obscure) is magic fan. It looks up the words on a card, then uses an algorithm to search for other similar cards. So when you punch in the oracle text for nin, stuff like volcanic island pop up. It's not perfect, but you can find some really weird hits this way.
