This is my Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck. It is now my most favorite deck and I intend on eventually foiling most of this out. With the exception of some of the land$ lol.

Primarily this is a deck that seeks to control some of what is going on in the game, and hide behind its fort cards until it can ping you to death with Nekusar's ability or others similar through repeatedly wheeling your hands away and making you draw more and more cards.

My finishing combos:

Helm of the Ghastlord + Nekusar, the Mindrazer - oh those cards you drew? Discard them! And oh look I get to draw.

Elder Mastery + Nekusar, the Mindrazer Helm of the Ghastlord's discard on overload!

I also love to cast Cyclonic Rift overloaded just before dropping down a Wheel of Fortune style effect. And if Nekusar is out with the Helm or Mastery on him? You are pretty much done unless you can top deck and instant to break the cycle of pain, but you better hope it has split second or I have no counters in my hand.

This is a fun and evil deck so far, much better than my first iteration which was wheels and howling mines and megrim style effects. Not enough to protect me before I could get online and I was an easy target.

Give me a comment on how you like, or dislike, this deck. Any thoughts on how you might make it better? I'd love to hear all thoughts. I have some transmute style counterspells in my maybe list and am thinking those might help for digging later for a wheel to finish off the field. What do you think? Worth trying or not as efficient as counterspells as they usual ones?
