This is my competitive version of Nekusar, the Mindrazer I have it built to disrupt the pods I play in which is a lot of combo players.

Why to play this deck

If you play in a comp pod or are trying out being comp with your friends this is the deck to play if thy're trying to draw infinite or assemble value engines ex: Teferi, Temporal Archmage while this deck is not the best at shuting him down you slow him down enough to kill him or force to have an answer to you, if they play The Chain Veil and it hits good luck. Another example is Edric, Spymaster of Trest you do a fantastic job of slowing/shutting that deck down.

Win cons/ Combos

• The main combos are Mindcrank+bloodcheif ascension Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell Glistening Oil or other infect
• Paradox Engine with any wheel or Jace's Archivist
• Waste Not with a wheel will probably win the game as long as its a DISCARD wheel
• notion theif + a wheel draws u the win and Teferi's puzzle box + notion theif means your opponents no longer draw cards they draw for turn put to the bottom and then u draw for them.
• Also their is also the wheel and lot option with Nekusar, the Mindrazer or Underworld Dreams to win.
• Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre is there so if you draw your whole deck you can discard him to re-shuffle.

This is just a guide for a good deck by no means do you have to play this exact deck below are the flex spots and pet spots that can be swapped around Thanks for your time!!

These are a few cards in the deck that are flex spots and a few pet cards for me.

• First Mana Short I use it to stop infinite mana combos or threats of infinite. All u have to do is short them with a counter spell back up and stop them for the turn, it's also not bad at stopping a player for a turn by shorting them in upkeep.
• Gitaxian Probe is a pet card (Edit: changed gitaxian probe to Search for Azcanta   it flips after a wheel)
• Stifle is a pet card
• Stranglehold is a good way to slow down competitive players/most decks
• Torpor Orb is for stopping creature etb heavy decks.
• Sigil of Sleep is for creature decks. Edit swap for Vampiric Link if you want to stall for time.

SB analysis

Pyroblast Hydroblast explain are pretty easy to understand Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is for colored permanent heavy players for example Animar, Soul of Elements Lightning Greaves is single target spell heavy decks Fevered Visions is for control players same with Phyrexian Tyranny Runeborn hellkite Is good with not a lot of grave hate (screw Protean Hulk ) For other options look in the maybe board I highly rec Price of Progress if you're just started out and you are playing with people that have fancy lands while u just have basics we've all been there.

Thats about all I got thanks for reading if u read all the way down give an upvote if u got the time plz and have a great day!!! Edit: holy crap old self we need to talk =D Edit2: Reworked the list a bit will be back another day
