No infect for this deck. It's more oppressive and competitive than I want to make it. This deck is purely for fun and hearing my friends groan while discarding; I dont care about winning with it. Both Sigil of Sleep and Nightscape Familiar are awesome though and i will be looking to add them to the deck. Thank you for the suggestions!

Ah, I understand. If it's not too competitive, might I recommend also Kess, Dissident Mage and Magus of the Will for some recursion with your wheel and deal cards in the graveyard. Also, Whirlpool Warrior is a creature that adds a wheel-like effect.

I will definitely playtest all of those. This deck has needed some love. I've been focused on new decks and my kamahl deck. Thanks for all the great suggestions.

I love your deck, and here's some ideas for you to consider. Here's my version of a very similar deck if you'd like some additional ideas. Nekusar, the Mindrazer
Why not additional commanders, since you already have some clones, these ones get around the legendary rule. Spark Double Sakashima the Impostor.
If you'd like some crazy adds for discard pain, consider Surly Badgersaur Syr Konrad, the Grim
Obosh, the Preypiercer has been fun in my deck (not a companion), but I'm not sure if you have enough odd CMC cards.
Hopefully these help. :)

Thank you for all the great suggestions and the link to your deck. I will check it out. Of the clone suggestions, Spark Double may see a spot because it can copy planeswalkers. I run Phyrexian Metamorph and Clever Impersonator mostly because of their ability to copy noncreature permanents.
Surly Badgersaur and Syr Konrad, the Grim are both interesting and I'll have to check them out.
Obosh, the Preypiercer is one I'm wanting to add, I just haven't taken the time to sit down and math out all my cmc's to see if it's worth it or not.
Thanks again for the suggestions!

If you use Phyresis and Grafted Exoskeleton on nekusar you'll only be ten cards away from a win

Snap157 thank you for the suggestion, but I won't run infect on him because it makes the deck more competitive than I want. This is meant to be just a casual group slug to make my friends frustrated while still having a good time.

Sakashima of a thousand faces, Glint-horn buccaneer, and both nivs (not the five color one) would go great in this deck.

I've ran glint-horn buccaneer and original Niv at some point in this deck and both have been cut. As for the others, I'm trying to keep creatures to a minimum and stay more spellslinger because all of my other decks are creature focused. Thanks for the suggestions though!

Hey love the deck! Two cards to suggest Peer into the Abyss and Thought Reflection.
December 21, 2020 1:36 p.m.
Thanks for the suggestions. Peer into the Abyss is a maybe. I'm trying to cut big cost spells so I can wheel over and over again. But the ability to one shot someone is too good to pass up. Thought Reflection was in the deck when I first made it and cut it due to cmc and just never wanting to cast it in lieu of other cards.

Just played against Nekuzar last night. Fun deck to play against!

It is. Makes you really think about tutoring and what you hold in your hand, because a wheel can happen at any time.

Would an Anvil of Bogardan work well here?

God-Eternal-Magic-Player I've been on the fence about it. The extra card draw is great, but I hate my opponents not having a maximum hand size. Having them discard down to 7 on their turns when I have one of my damage dealers out or Waste Not is ideal. But it is something I've considered for years. I'll have to give it a try and see how effective it is, thanks for the suggestion.

Very true with the max hand size, it does kind of mess stuff up. Good point

Baral, Chief of Compliance might be a good fit if you decide to add a few more instants and sorcery spells.
December 16, 2022 6:37 p.m.
AscendedLandfalls that is a good possibility, that or Nightscape Familiar.

Have you considered giving Neko infect? In my deck I use cards like Grafted Exoskeleton Corrupted Conscience Phyresis Glistening Oil Or add some removal like Sigil of Sleep Also Nightscape Familiar would be very good getting your bigger cards out quicker
