This is my Nekusar, the Mindrazer Commander deck. Uses wheel effects to make your opponents draw cards and force feed them to death, along with Howling Mine effects and Teferi's Puzzle Box to the same effect.

I'm going artifact-heavy with this version, trying to use things like Psychosis Crawler and Black Vise to do extra damage, but the real goal here is to use Nekusar to do enough damage by forcing draws. Any assistance with the deck or other combos would be very welcomed.

Combos:

Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell = infinite card draw for everyone!

Mind Over Matter + Otherworld Atlas with more than one counter or card in hand = Infinite card draw that you can actually keep some of. Add in Omniscience and you can play them all for free.

Academy Ruins + Mindslaver = One player infinite turn lock.

Archmage Ascension + Howling Mine = Full counters on Ascension in six turns, then free tutoring every turn.

Enter the Infinite + Omniscience = Good game mate until someone makes you draw. Thinking about adding Laboratory Maniac but I'm not sure yet.

Enter the Infinite + Firestorm as long as you have more cards than your opponents have life (and more targets than their life) = game over.

Helm of the Ghastlord + Nekusar, the Mindrazer = Every card you draw gets discarded.

Helm of the Ghastlord + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind = Take damage for every card in my deck, if you keep pinging your opponent. To get it to stop, just hit a creature instead.

Enter the Infinite + Library of Leng + Windfall = Everyone gets to draw their whole decks, after I draw mine and discard my whole hand into my library. If you have Nekusar out then they're dead. If you have Howling Mine or Font of Mythos out then you don't even have to do anything to win.

Synergies:

Forced Fruition + Nekusar, the Mindrazer = Seven damage anytime you play anything nonland.

Gilded Lotus + Prototype Portal or Gilded Lotus + Prototype Portal + Sculpting Steel = Mad ramp.

Notion Thief + Any wheel effect = Free cards for me, no hand for you.

Cyclonic Rift + Any wheel effect = Lose all your things!

Just a note: I removed Damnation for Deadly Tempest due to budget constraints. Should I ever get the funds for the card, I will gladly use it.
