How come you have a Sire Of Insanity ? Doesn't that kind of mess with the drawing lots of cards thing?

(but if it works for you then ignore me lol)

Sire Of Insanity triggers all of my discard enchantments such as Waste Not . Megrim , etc combine this with a card like Wheel of Fortune your looking at major damage. Now what I don't really like about him is his cost six mana is a lot for a creature who can't do anything by himself but discard (which does hurt control players though) currently his spot has a opening if I find something else. :3

zerowner I would probably put in Counterspell before I put in Dream Fracture because this deck does not want any counterspells costing more than 2 due to the fact I usually only have 1-2 mana open at the end of my turn. :3

Sakashima the Impostor is an extremely versatile card that does a lot of work in this kind of deck. Other great cards worth considering are Wound Reflection to help you get there faster while Painful Quandary is an amazing control card that helps offsets the advantage you give your opponents. And it may be personal preference, but I find Ebony Owl Netsuke is a very underrated card that wrecks life totals, especially earl game, while I find Spiteful Visions too detrimental to my own game plan to be worth running.

Sakashima is great but I prefer Clever Impersonator because it can copy everything but lands. Wound Reflection and Painful Quandary have a expensive CMC and usually the discard one card per spell thing is not too amazing unless I have a few discard enchantments out. Ebony Owl certainly does have potential early game and late game when I am refilling opponent hands but its kinda of conditional but I will consider it. Spiteful Visions is in here for redundancy and acts as exactly like Neku but damages me as well but is harder to remove and cost one less and is easier to cast. I do have some lifegain in here to offset this but even if it could do me in I can kill everyone else before it kills me by letting the damage from it resolve for my opponents first when I play a wheel effect. Even if I were to consider getting rid of it I would first think of getting rid of Phyrexian Tyranny as it really hurts much more than Spiteful. :3

Thanks for the input! :3

Also, Iron Maiden may cost one more than the owl but deals damage even if the other players have 5 or 6 cards in hand and the damage can scale to even greater pain if they have a Spellbook effect on the battlefield. So I would prefer to run this card over the owl (though im not sure if I want either). :3

Nice deck, +1

Why not add, Jace Beleren For his +1 ability as it give card draw and deals damage when darw pain is out to help you.

also remember that the infinite card draw for damage might not work depending on the amount of players and the amount of cards left in your library.

Jace Beleren has probably been in and out of this deck at least twice, he is good but he is not as good as a wheel is. The main reason why Temple Bell is still in here is because it at least has a combo whereas Jace does not.

As for the infinite card draw for damage, the amount of players does not matter only the amount of cards left in the library, normally I will have more than enough cards to kill a person because no one usually has above 30 life if I reach to this point (unless Oloro is there) but even if I don't I can cast Time Reversal or Time Spiral (which I forgot to mention in the combo) to refresh my library as I will eventually draw into it with all the card draw and can even use Mind Over Matter if I am lacking the mana to cast it.

Thank you for the feedback! :3

(by the way you said +1 but you never +1 the deck but its ok if you forgot :3 )

Thanks for pointing that out, also i think that you may want more basic lands in case of cards such as Blood Moon as this then limits your options as to what you can do.

Blizzicane says... #11

KieranBevan I didn't even notice your comment again. XP

Blood Moon is not a concern due to most of the people I play with use three or more color decks and don't usually run nonbasic hate. :3

Plus, fetch lands and artifact ramp sort out those problems most of the time anyway. :3

Similar to my own, although I tend to lean on Rooftop Storm for late game and with a Havengul Lich it trickles into near infite sac combos. The added bonus of playing the commander for 0 late game no matter how many counters it always nice.

Weirdhat says... #14

did you ever think of trying cards like Curiosity, there are 4 of them I think.

November 21, 2014 8:52 a.m.

FeedUsBacon rooftop storm doesn't let you keep casting nekusar for free...it only replaces the casting cost....general tax is an additional cost, similar to something like buyback or replicate. So you'll still have to pay all general tax for you to be able to cast nekusar

Blizzicane says... #16

FeedUsBacon basically what PrestonShilling said, plus, if the cast cost for Neku gets to high I can always get him back with my graveyard lands or Yawgmoth's Will.

Weirdhat - I had them in here in the beginning but Neku and anything else I can attach it to never stays around long enough to fully abuse them so its basically a two for one as I have to bring them back sometimes and there are times when I don't even win with those creatures as there are more than one pain giver in this deck. Lately, I also had a few wins off of Waste Not from the sheer amount of zombies it produces and all the card draw and mana.

Thank you all for your comments! :3

+1 just for the name. The decks not bad either :-)

Laboratory Maniac since u already have mind over matter and temple bell

November 22, 2014 4:35 p.m.

Blizzicane says... #20

klone13 Laboratory Maniac is a unnecessary combo piece when I can just use my pain cards as the finisher. :)

Thanks for the suggestion anyway! :3

This looks like a fun deck, tbh. Although I am curious on how my Zombie/Proliferate theme deck would fare against this deck (The Phyrexian Undead Horde), mostly because it has an Omen Machine in it. What do you think? +1 from me.

D2Vincent

Well it is a fun deck to use but its more focus on winning as I try to minimize the advantage the opponent is getting which is why I don't run some cards other Neku decks do like Howling Mine as that card gives the opponent cards even when I am not bring the pain in favor of more wheels that can end the game when chained or when there are enough pain enablers down.

As for how it would stand up against your deck I would not know until I fought your deck. This deck is mostly meant for multiplayer but it can hold up pretty well in 1v1 (as long as the other deck is not fully tuned for 1v1).

Thanks for the comment and upvote! :3

Shoot I broke something just when I was going to announce the new and improve description. :C Bah I may have to fix it later as I am tired so anyone who sees the page in this shape I will fix it later as I have not yet identified where the code broke. :S

Blizzicane says... #24

Yay! I fixed it (like 2 hours ago) now my new and improve description is complete unless I want to add a picture/video/music. :3

Price of Knowledge? you have enough ramp to get it out pretty early, and once it is out the opponents are on a pretty quick clock.
