Wheel and Deal by user8127517

Commander: Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Grixis draw-punisher deck that converts every opponent draw into loss. Nekusar is the main engine; the deck amplifies his trigger with Sheoldred, Ob Nixilis, Spiteful Visions, and Ojer Axonil, then uses wheels and discard effects to turn card draw into a one-turn kill. Backup plans include a Locust God token army and a grind game with Howling Mine effects, Teferi's Puzzle Box, and Painful Quandary. The build has a 40-land shell and a tutor package to find the missing combo piece, aiming to resolve Nekusar on turn 4 and execute a Caress/Megrim + two-wheel kill on turns 6-7. Life loss from painful fetches and symmetrical card advantage are deliberate costs of speed.
