The color bent blue Sun's zenith from dragons of tasks, dispel and fork maybe?

I've been thinking a lot about Academy Ruins lately... We both play lots of artifacts and the interaction seems really strong with a lot of them .I can't imagine buying back LED could be bad. Lol

I have a Nekusar deck as well, and I think you might consider Sigil of Sleep. It can stop an aggressive deck in its tracks if they don't have tons of tokens and basically turns every wheel into a board wipe. As far as protecting Nekusar goes, you can't go wrong with Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves. I didn't originally put either in because my deck isn't creature heavy but Nekusar gets killed so often that I find that it's still worth it.

I had forgotten about Sigil of Sleep it is a solid side board against green creature decks with lots of fringe removal, example being Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury(fuck that card). I have tried it several times the reasons why it isn't main deck is because it is defensive in a way that doesn't help me win enough. The reason why boots and greaves aren't in the deck is because they aren't completely necessary, they are great in that they protect nekusar, but other than that they have the same problem as sigil of sleep. they don't push the deck's game plan forward enough. I want to draw other cards.

Thanks for the input.

How is ad nauseum working for you? It's rather expensive Lol. I know I'm a little partial in this but I honestly like the idea of investing one more mana (albeit it's way more color intensive) for Mind Over Matter. It's just been so great for me. Lol

Dude! Ad Nauseam, Skirge Familiar, Inner Fire is a beautiful synergistic meat pie of orgasmic deliciousness that works wonders with all the other cards. I am pretty sure it makes the deck quicker consistently.

I'll have to try it out. I need to update my list. Lol it is all sorts of off from my paper list. I think I was testing your fork mechanic last time I updated it. Haha

this is pretty much the physical list in all its glory.

I ended up having the value Fork and Reanimate with some extras in the board for when they are really useful.

Doesn't the sideboard have to be 10 cards for edh?

Have you tested dual caster mage? (Or whatever his name is) didn't know how many creature based decks are in your meta... all Nekusar needs is that one extra turn to kill, and that body has saved me a few times when I was testing the fork mechanic.Also minds desire saved my ass the last two games I played with my list. (Both times were only storm count of 4 and As a last resort with the entire table teaming up on me) lol

I haven't filled the sideboard yet

I not really sure about it, Dualcaster Mage i mean. Mind's desire should probably go in the deck maybe.

Have you seen Day's Undoing from magic origins? It's another time spiral, and it's only 3 mana. But there is downside. How does that sit with you?

I really coudn't say. I mean if its the only wheel in hand you use it right? and you can fill your hand, and you can get value if you got Curiosity going along with the fact that you probably only have 2 cards in hand. the problem is that your opponents uses their cards first. It definitely isn't unusable but it isn't amazing either. Its a wheel and probably should have a place in any nekusar deck.

Phyresis.

If you like the poison tech, there is also Tainted Strike and Glistening Oil. I've even seen a few people go as far as playing Grafted Exoskeleton

I may actually revisit playing the black poison cards myself...

Its been awhile since I last thought about putting them in the deck. My thoughts on infect has always been that if I am dealing 10 damage in one turn I can deal another 30. Drawing those enchantments can suck so much at times.

It does seem like switching modes a little... But at only 3 copies; and basically ensuring victory with a single wheel, I personally think that they are worth another look. Besides you've convinced me to test your tri-synergy in ad nauseum/ skirge familiar/ inner fire... so that ideally means cast ad nauseum, win. LolI mean, At worst it's just fuel for your familiar or inner fire, right? Haha

it is a good idea to take another look at infect because the composition of my deck has changed alot since they were apart of it. yeah or its essentially another look for wheels or card drawers.

another problem is that infect is dependent on nekusar being out on the field and you are all in. with Curiosity you have a chance at getting a return on your investment.

This is true. But however, it's extremely simple to cast Nekusar, the infect card and a wheel. I know it's a three card combo, but it's so easy to establish, and they all work so well that they win "instantaneous". It's seriously worth a second look. Faster decks should equal faster win cons! Lol

you need at least 2 wheels. More if you are using cards like winds of change and your opponents only have 3 cards in hand. I never trust nekusar making it through a full rotation. It never works out.

I know that you need 2. But the times that I cast a wheel and don't hit another one are fairly infrequent. If your Nekusar doesn't survive a rotation often, I would suggest having Temporal Fissure or Ignite Memories. The commander tax was my main reason for having more storm cards. That way if nekusar gets too expensive, you just continue to chain wheels and dump mana rocks to add to your storm count them finish them off with your storm cards. I always just feel a little more secure about switching modes to storm, knowing that tendrils isn't my only option. Lol:)

I am of the opinion that you only need the one storm card. Mostly because there are several ways to skin the opponent. You have Megrim and Liliana's Caress. there is Waste Not, Geth's Grimoire , and Notion Thief. There is always an easy chance of scoring these and making shit tons of mana in the process. storm cards are just such dead draws.
