Draw Burn by user4816192

Format: Commander

Commander: Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Nekusar, the Mindrazer is the engine in a wheels-and-group-slug build that turns the most fundamental resource in Magic - the draw step - into a burn spell. The plan is straightforward: land Nekusar, stack the battlefield with draw-punishing permanents like Underworld Dreams, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Kederekt Parasite, and Razorkin Needlehead, then resolve wheels such as Wheel of Fortune, Windfall, and Reforge the Soul so every card opponents draw costs them life. Symmetrical draw effects like Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, and Dictate of Kruphix keep the pain coming every turn. Behind the slug plan sit genuine combo finishes: Niv-Mizzet, Parun or Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind with Curiosity creates infinite damage, Peer into the Abyss is a one-card kill with any punisher on board, and Phyresis turns Nekusar into an infect clock. The deck plays a mid-tempo control-aggro hybrid: survive the early board, then wheel the table into oblivion.
