For most people, card draw is awesome. This deck is there to prove those people wrong. Force your opponents to draw obscene amounts of cards and punish them for it. Did they play something to ruin your plan? There's all kinds of support and removal to ensure that you come out on top.

Update #7 — Nov. 15, 2016

It's been a while since I updated this bad boy. For some cards, I replaced them a long time ago and don't really remember exactly what I took them out for, so some of the explanations for the cards I removed might seem a little vague. A big theme that you'll notice is I put in quite a few things about DISCARDING cards. Wheels are great with Nekusar, the Mindrazer due to the number of cards my opponents draw in one turn. Wheels often force them to discard as well, so I decided it's about time I use that to my advantage too!
Removed 1 Island
Removed Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth This was mainly here for mana-fixing, but the mana base here is pretty set, so this wasn't really needed anymore. (It also was brutal if my opponents had swampwalk on board. Looking at you, Sheoldred, Whispering One.)
Removed Vivid Creek Bad budget land is bad.
Removed Thought Vessel No max hand size is pretty great here, but I felt that this was a little lackluster.
Removed Barbed Shocker This deck does not attack. Ever. Since this only worked when it attacked...
Removed Magus of the Jar Yes, this can force my opponents to draw seven at instant speed for free, but the initial cost to cast him never felt worth it.
Removed Damnable Pact The idea of this was to basically be a Fireball in this deck, but it cost too much mana to do anything worthwhile.
Removed Damnation This one hurt. I needed money and this was my most expensive card. sob
Removed Ob Nixilis Reignited Obby here is not a bad walker. (Personally, I think he's one of the best mono-black walkers ever printed.) I forget what card I took him out for. Oh well. The deck works pretty well without him.
Removed Brainstorm This card is great, but it felt so underwhelming in a 100-card format.
Removed Rapid Hybridization I put this in to make sure I had removal in all colors, but it felt unnecessary after a while.
Removed Vision Skeins This card just felt like it did so little.
Removed Price of Knowledge I love this card in here, but it's so expensive that if I manage to get it on board, it never did enough before the game ended or it got removed.
Added Waste Not The ultimate discard outlet. I get something off every single cards my opponents pitch.
Added Horn of Greed A fun way to force card draw outside of the draw step.
Added Geier Reach Sanitarium A card draw and discard on a land is pretty useful! Lands are generally pretty hard to take care of, and your opponents often forget about them.
Added Whirlpool Warrior This is mainly here so I can block then force a wheel for just one red mana.
Added Liliana's Caress This just makes wheels so much better.
Added Strip Mine This is for those lands that need to go away. (Gaea's Cradle immediately comes to mind.)
Added Underground River Picked this up in a trade and figured "Why not?"
Added Duskmantle Seer I saw someone else play this in their Nekusar deck, and I thought I'd try it out. It has the potential to deal out some serious pain.
Added Insidious Will One of the best blue cards for EDH in my opinion. There are so many different situations this can be useful in.
Added Anvil of Bogardan This one's kinda interesting. I'm forcing another card, but I'm trading my opponents possibly discarding a few cards in the discard step for a guaranteed discard at the draw step. So far, I like it.
Added Megrim Yep! It's Liliana's Caress, but for one more mana.
Added Hero's Downfall Unconditional creature removal and also for those pesky planeswalkers.
Added Mystical Tutor Just nice to ensure I get what I need. Removal, counters, or wheels. (Super hilarious with Reforge the Soul)
