A newbie's first EDH deck based around Mind Seize, with Nekusar, the Mindrazer as the commander. I'm looking for budget ways of increasing the deck's options (both offensively and defensively) while still working off the card-draw center.

The general goal is around card-draw, punishing opponents for it (often with Nekusar's damage-dealing), and weakening them before going on the offensive. Spiteful Visions is essentially Nekusar except it also damages me.

Jace's Archivist is versatile for the theme: forcing discard, forcing draw, and allowing me (or allies) to get larger hands if we're running low. See also Dark Deal and Incendiary Command . Getting Swiftfoot Boots out to protect either Nekusar or Archivist is useful, so Hoarding Dragon assists with that.

Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker's ultimate can negate the problem of giving others card advantages. Learn from the Past can revive a bunch of stuff from my graveyard (from milling, or having to discard from the card draw). Wild Ricochet is a great backfire. Haven of the Spirit Dragon is useful for bringing Ugin, the Spirit Dragon back.
