MTG Salvation

Good Morning

Decided to take some goodstuff out of my box and put together a decklist: Nekusar, the Mindrazaer was selected, partly due to available cards and partly due to the fun I will have (and to my opponent's annoyance) of all the draw and discard effects I'll be running.

Update: Nekusar is REALLY turning out well and is currently my most entertaining deck to play...both for myself and for my opponents. Instead of pillowfort during the early game, I push for an agro-rush with haste-creatures. When my opponents use their kill spells and hate on my speed, I switch modes and put down the draw-pain cards and use tempo to win. Overall, this deck is proving to be quite resilient.

All my decks try to adhere to these guidelines:
1) Be able to win.
2) Be mostly true to a flavor and a theme.
3) Be good against one or multiple opponents.
5) Be fun to pilot or to play against and interactive.
6) Have multiple paths to victory.
7) Have lots of cool interactions and synergy.
8) Play out differently every game to keep it fun over a long time.
9) Be streamlined and fast to play without excessive upkeep, time-consuming play or overcomplicated boardstates.
10) Integrate the Commanders abilities into the strategy at least a little, but be able to win without ever playing the commander.


The number in front of the card will denote CMC of the creature/spell.

100 cards in decklist!
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Mass card draw is bad unless you can win right there. You want windmill effects to prevent combos.

You seem to have a mill subtheme but nekusar should be able to kill well before that.

You have a lot of creatures and some spells that seem filler and dont fit the theme at all.

You are the mindrazer and player's hands are their minds, rip them out and put stuff back in.

This is my nekusar deck I did http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/nekusar-sub-75-edh-deck/

Lots of stuff has changed with some promo cards I got but the theme is there. Notably the shuffle gy into library cards are gone and I have more board clear. Also mainboard Rise of Dark Realms

Ramp -> get enchants and creatures down -> copy windmill for the win -> Animate GY creatures for alternative win con

Hey cespinar! Totally appreciate you dropping by. Your suggestions and decklist help me out a tonne! I'll take a closer look at those wheel effects.

Thanks

Good Morning and Merry Christmas!

Small update to my build....further tuning. Please refer to the Original Post for details.

Another small update.

Rakdos Charm >> Psychic Spiral
Teleportal >> Disdainful Stroke
Grixis Charm >> Dispel
Crosis's Charm >> Dissipate
Swamp >> Swiftwater Cliffs
Mountain >> Bloodfell Caves

I'm really liking how this deck is performing. Had to cut out some mundane cards....the flexibility was nice, but hard counters have more impact when I'm trying to protect my board position and bleed engine.

Please refer to the OP for decklist and changelog.

Comments and Suggestions always welcome.

Good Morning EDH community.

Nekusar has gone through a major revision. Updates are in the changelog. I certainly welcome comments and suggestions.

Whirlpool Warrior would really love to have his mount.
