Embrace the Madess!

This is my current Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck. I initially built this deck in 2013 when Nekusar was first printed and kept playing and honing until I eventually took it apart in 2018. Well now here we are in late 2021 and I've decided to put it back together, so here it is. The plan is still the same, but we've got a quite a few new toys since then to make it even better.

All I wanted to do with this version was build a relatively powerful deck within my playgroups that's not unfun for my opponents. I want to be able to kill the table with relative efficiency, but without really doing anything terribly unfair or impossible to interact with. In the end, Nekusar is most generous. Surely my opponents can think of some way to stay alive...

The main strategy of the deck is to ramp into basically emptying my hand as quickly as possible, playing some mana rocks and some punishment like Underworld Dreams or Liliana's Caress, then cast one Wheel of Fortune-type card into another and reload over and over, killing my opponents by making them all take lots of damage as they draw and discard.

We're focusing on this plan, so the deck is built entirely around ramp, wheels, punishment, recursion, and interaction. If it doesn't fit our plan we're not including it, which means we don't want to do anything tricky like lock our opponents out of drawing (that'll just slow the game down for no reason) or give Nekusar infect (which just splits up the kind of damage we're doing.) With a little set up we should be able to just wheel a couple of times and be done with it, so no need to be cute. As it stands currently the deck tends to win around turn 5.
