Introduction

Hello all! This is a competitive Nekusar, the Mind Razer EDH deck centered entirely around wheeling our opponents while also controlling the board!

Our ultimate goal to victory is to utilize wheel and symmetrical draw effects to deal damage to our opponents while also not being threatening enough to be directly targeted at which point we should be able to control until we run out their resources or kill them.

Reading the Deck

Wheel/Symmetric Draw Effects

All of the cards here do exactly what the title says! We will be using these to both find cards that we want in our hand while also burning our opponents!

• Jace's Archivist

• Jace Beleren

• Folio of Fancies

• Dark Deal

• Molten Psyche

• Reforge the Soul

• Whispering Madness

• Windfall

Self-Draw

Though we will be making everyone draw lots of cards, we also want to be drawing independently of our opponents. Because of this, we have a variety of cards which allow us to draw quite a few cards to help us find our pieces:

• Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur

• Psychic Possession

• Dream Salvage

• Bag of Holding

• The Magic Mirror

This isn't a lot at first; however, if we also include any control cards which let us draw, then we also have:

• Arcane Denial

• Dream Fracture

• Mystic Confluence

• Nin, the Pain Artist

Punishing the Draw

Finally time for the interesting part. We have a variety of ways of punishing people for drawing lots of cards, but I'm going to divide this into 2 sections:Burn & Mill. If we're having a really hard time burning someone out, then we always have the option to mill them out if the game goes too long.

Burn:

• Breathstealer's Crypt

• Liliana's Caress

• Spiteful Visions

• Underworld Dreams

• Niv-Mizzet, Parun

• Psychosis Crawler

• Ob Nixilis, the Hate-Twisted

• Nekusar, the Mindrazer

• Molten Psyche

• Kederekt Parasite

Mill:

• Consuming Aberration

• Mindcrank

Will all of these elements together, we should be able to wear everyone down to within lethal easily.

Control

And of course, we are in , so we gotta be controlling. This does provide us the ability to answer large threats before they hit the board while also allowing us to protect our synergy pieces. We also have a few things which just protect ourselves so that it's harder for opponents to attack us.

• Dissipation Field

• Propaganda

• Arcane Denial

• Counterspell

• Counterflux

• Bedevil

• Chaos Warp

• Dream Fracture

• Drown in the Loch

• Mystic Confluence

• Narset's Reversal

• Perplex

• Rakdos Charm

• Reality Shift

• Rewind

• Sudden Spoiling

• Swan Song

• Terminate

• Flood of Tears

General Synergy

All of the cards in this list have some sort of synergy with the deck but weren't listed in any of the above categories:

Discard Synergy

• Bloodchief Ascension

• Waste Not

• Command the Dreadhorde

• Reanimate

Draw Synergy

• Chasm Skulker

• The Locust God

Mill Synergy

• Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

He is basically in the deck so that you it's very difficult to mill yourself.

General Synergy

• Nin, the Pain Artist

She can burn creatures and make the controller draw cards. Whether you use this to make yourself draw cards or kill an opponent's creature and then burn them with card draw, it's always pretty good.

Playing The Deck

The deck is relatively simple to play. Get some of your burn pieces out, protect them and yourself, make everyone draw! I would generally advise to not play Nekusar, the Mind Razer until you either have enough mana to protect him or a lot of people's kill spells were just used. I'd also try to not ball out of control too much or else someone is gonna start looking for a Planar Cleansing which would hurt real bad.

Thanks for reading! Though the deck has a lot of cards with a strong primer, I am always looking for and open to suggestions! Also, if you see a card in the maybeboard that you think should go in the deck, just drop a comment and let me know why and what to swap out for, and I'll definitely respond! Thanks again!

Thank you:

I just want to give a quick thanks to king-saproling for his help on the deck!
