Yes that's why I mentioned the the laboratory cause you already have the fruition as for the visions that's why I run Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar and I was pointing out that both your commander and the visions are red so they activate the parasite if you want to you can look at my deck Did you brain your hurt when you down fell?

Since your playing to win, you could add in Curiosity ,Ophidian Eye , Tandem Lookout , and Helm of the Ghastlord

All combo with niv mizzet and even if you have one in hand without niv, throw it on nekusar and draw a billion cards. Drawing all of those cards could potentially deck you, so adding Laboratory Maniac may be a good idea.Also Sigil of Sleep acts as pretty good removal... Letting nekusar bounce a scary threat onl to have your opponent shuffle it away with a wheel effect. Pretty strong start. +1. Take a look at my list for more card choices and possible advice. I'm always looking for advice myself. Thanks in advance.

I did had some of the cards you mention but being auras they are dead cards until I get creatures on the field, they are also two for one, and now and then I have to wipe the field in the process losing the auras as I have a few ways to save/get back my creatures. As for decking myself some of my cards in my deck reshuffle my graveyard but if it does become a problem I could just throw in a Elixir of Immortality or a eldrazi to prevent myself from decking out. Laboratory Maniac is a idea but there is no way a opponent will let him slide on the field and if he dies and I am decked out I lose so im not willing to take that risk.

Thanks for Commenting :3

Tandem Lookout is a creature that provides the effect. There is also Bident of Thassa , Coastal Piracy , Mask of Memory , and Mask of Riddles provide this type of ability but with more staying power from board wipes.

MiniDragon the problem with all of the artifacts/enchantments you mention is that they all say "combat damage" whereas Curiosity effects and Tandem Lookout don't specify what type of damage.

Love the deck. Nekusar, the Mindrazer is by far my favorite commander. I didn't even notice the Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell combo even though I have those cards in my deck! How is the Sire Of Insanity working out for you? I am slightly skeptical of it but it could be really good.

Have you ever thought of putting in Library of Leng in here. It seems like a staple of most Nekusar decks.

If you want come check out my slightly more budget version straight razor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also just noticed that you have very little in the way of removal. How is that working for you? I have noticed that my deck has a really hard time with mid-range decks and aggro.

great deck. +1!

Sire Of Insanity is currently under testing when I have him out with my discard related effects such as Waste Not , Megrim , etc he has been absolutely devastating so it seems he may have a place here.

Library of Leng was in here but since I am running graveyard recursion I didn't find it to necessary I might put it back in now that I am running Sire.

Thanks for the Comment! :3

Conspiracy brings us Ill-Gotten Gains . Thoughts?

Also, don't forget Library of Leng lets you discard to your library, if you Wheel of Fortune you can simply take the cards you want and put them on top, dumping the rest in some bastard version of a partial mulligan.

Blizzicane says... #10

Ohthenoises True I just have to find space for it might just put it back in maybe for Breathstealer's Crypt as I am not too fond of showing off my cards and not every deck plays tons of creatures but idk yet. As for Ill-Gotten Gains the discard is nice but giving them the choice of what to pick out of their graveyard not so much I rather run the ever continuous discarder which is Sire Of Insanity even though he is a creature and cost 2 more.

Ill-Gotten Gains seems very underwhelming for this deck. Other then the fact that it lets you pick three cards from your grave yard its basically a wheel effect with two MAJOR downsides: One, you let your opponent pick three cards from their grave yard and Two, there is no draw effect to ping with Nekusar.

That Library of Leng though! Do it! Nothing sucks more for an opponent than watching you pick and chose your next hand while they discard their hand and draw four lands and a one drop. Personally I never really liked Breathstealer's Crypt , not enough of either damage or discard. On the damage front, you shouldn't be lacking in that with the cards you already have. If it is the discard you like than put in Helm of the Ghastlord , far more brutal when on Nekusar + it gives you card draw, +2/+2 and is less mana intensive.

Ohthenoises says... #12

I think of Ill-Gotten Gains less of giving people advantage and more of giving me a Hinder , a Wheel of Fate , and a Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir back in hand. Then you can cast teferi and Wheel of Fate the turn after you use Ill-Gotten Gains . (Using the counter magic to keep someone from breaking you with it.)

oakenshild Don't forget about Liliana's Caress and Megrim . If you Ill-Gotten Gains back a Wheel of Fate that's a potential for 28 damage with one Liliana's Caress effect in play. Also, Waste Not will have fun there too.

If you like the MoM/ temple bell combo, the you may want to look into Otherworld Atlas

August 28, 2014 9:36 p.m.

Also Mind Over Matter and Jace's Archivist is an Infinite combo that you play butDidn't mention in your comments.

Holy crap I didn't notice that since I never had both out at the same time goes to show there are so many shenanigans that can be done with Mind Over Matter :3

Ohthenoises says... #16

You still need U for each tapping but anyways, Mercurial Chemister is pretty slick in these kind of decks as well.

oakenshild says... #17

hmmm... still not convinced on Ill-Gotten Gains . I see the potential in setting up a sweet combo but at the same time it sets your opponent up to be able to counter anything you play, or if you have to wait a turn to play those cards you got back, they could set up a board state that you have to respond to instead of playing the god combo you just worked so hard to get. Yes if you have a Megrim or Liliana's Caress you can do some pretty sweet damage but you could do the same damage with a Winds of Change or Whispering Madness and have to bonus damage from them drawing. I think it's more of a preference thing, than which card is better.

hahahahah!! OMG Otherworld Atlas would be hilarious!! Maybe it's not quite at a competitive level, but it looks like a blast.

I was gonna say that you would need to add Fatestitcher or something similar to go infinite with MoM and Jace's Archivist and then I realized that you can untap lands with MoM...

The chemister is good but I'm not sure if there is any thing that is lack-luster enough to warrant being replaced with him. Everything in here seems pretty streamlined to me.

Ohthenoises says... #18

Slight nitpick with your reasoning: Winds of Change doesn't discard anything.

August 29, 2014 12:06 a.m.

Whether you need the blue or not... Even If the highes number of cards a play has is 2 (EXTREMELY unlikely in this deck) then you trigger the archivist, everyone draws two (Nekusar would deal 2 to everyone) you discard 2 cards to Mind over matter, that will untap the archivist and an island. Rinse, repeat.

August 29, 2014 12:10 a.m.

Lookin for advice and comments on my list as well. Feel free to check it out and leave a +1. Thanks in advance.

Nekusar's Perfect Storm

August 29, 2014 12:15 a.m.

Also I you want to speed up the deck you can lower your overall land count an take out your higher cmc cost cards like Sire Of Insanity and play lots and lots of more mana rocks.

I play just about every rock worth playing and consistently kill around turn 5-6. Just a thought, though. Lol

August 29, 2014 12:35 a.m.

oakenshild says... #22

Ohthenoises haha, good point, I didn't even notice. Like I said its just a preference. All cards have their ups and downs.

I can see most of the mana rocks that I know of in here.

PrestonShilling I would not want to lower the lands in this deck for more colorless mana rocks as some of my spells can be quite mana intensive (unless it was Mana Crypt but that is not affordable XP) Chrome Mox , Talisman of Indulgence , Fellwar Stone and Mox Diamond could have a spot in here. I may add them in place of the more expensive mana ramps such as Thran Dynamo and Lotus and also some land. Now about Sire Of Insanity I like him as he works with my four discard enchantments and Sangromancer and if void is out then all those cards are gone for good but he may be one mana too expensive (one of the reasons niv left). I wish his effect was on cheaper body. :C

Well I guess its time to update my deck again. :3

August 29, 2014 2:21 a.m.

Speaking of niv... I'm a HUGE fan of the Curiosity cards on Nekusar. That might as well be another "combo" with Mind Over Matter lol
