Deck overview

Grixis wheels deck built to turn drawing cards into damage. Nekusar is the main engine: every opponent draw deals 1, and the deck chain-casts wheels so each player draws seven or more repeatedly. The primary kill is Nekusar plus a damage amplifier such as Sheoldred, Ghyrson Starn, or Solphim, followed by two wheel effects. Secondary lines use Liliana's Caress and Bloodchief Ascension to punish discarded cards, and Razorkin Needlehead as a second Nekusar. The deck is well stocked with counterspells and removal to protect the fragile engine. It is not a fast two-card combo; it grinds through turns 5-7 before landing a lethal wheel sequence.
