Nekusar, the Mindrazer by Tapion1981

Format: Commander

Commander: Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Nekusar decks win by forcing opponents to draw extra cards and taxing each draw. This build aims to land Nekusar early with rituals and rocks, then add draw-punishers such as Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Underworld Dreams, and Spiteful Visions before resolving one or two wheel effects that convert a full hand into lethal damage. Tutors and heavy draw smooth assembly, while Kess, Dissident Mage and Underworld Breach provide a second layer of recursion. Kess acts as the hidden commander and lets a single wheel be recast for a second kill trigger. The deck is built almost entirely around Nekusar: without his forced draws, the wheels lose most of their damage and the clock slows dramatically.
