An unorthodox attempt at a deck built around Nekusar, the Mindrazer. This deck is designed to be silly and make you laugh, shake your fists, cry and shrug your way to victory (that is, if you live long enough :P)

Known combos / synergies :Duskmantle Guildmage / Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank. Once you get Mindcrank and either the guildmage or ascension online, you are now waiting to do some damage or mill just one card to instantly put someone out of the game. If you hit something like Mardu Shadowspear or Temple Bell while Nekusar is in play, you can beat all opponents.

Sphinx's Tutelage + Mindmoil / Arjun, of the shifting flame

Archmage Ascension / Bloodchief Ascension + Nekusar, the Mindrazer. Nekusar will tick up archmage during each of your turns, and bloodchief on each of your opponents turns!

Living Lore + Cruel Ultimatum If Ultimatum is in your graveyard, living lore can become a silly, continuously cycling Ultimatum if your opponent lets you do it!

Hedron Crab + Sword of the Animist

Eye of the Storm + Sins of the Past + Memory Erosion / Brain Freeze. This gets ridiculous once you hit late-game, as Eye of the storm's exiling of the spell overwrites Sins of the past's. Your opponent can utilize those same spells as well, so make sure you have something like Memory Erosion on the board to give yourself some advantage. Arjun and Mindmoil will be drawing you a new hand for every card cast with Eye of the Storm (due to the oracle text changed from "play" to "cast"). This also means that once you cast enough spells, Brain Freeze will storm away!

If you want to make the game extra silly for game 2, you can sideboard in Scrambleverse, so the game then becomes "how long until we get Eye of the storm / scrambled out of the game?"

Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell on top of milling everyone, Nekusar will also be doing fun things. Keep in mind though that we have a Laboratory Maniac in the deck, and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth in the sideboard.

Have fun!
