Love the deck. Nekusar, the Mindrazer is by far my favorite commander. I didn't even notice the Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell combo even though I have those cards in my deck! How is the Sire Of Insanity working out for you? I am slightly skeptical of it but it could be really good.

Have you ever thought of putting in Library of Leng in here. It seems like a staple of most Nekusar decks.

If you want come check out my slightly more budget version straight razor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also just noticed that you have very little in the way of removal. How is that working for you? I have noticed that my deck has a really hard time with mid-range decks and aggro.

great deck. +1!

Conspiracy brings us Ill-Gotten Gains . Thoughts?

Also, don't forget Library of Leng lets you discard to your library, if you Wheel of Fortune you can simply take the cards you want and put them on top, dumping the rest in some bastard version of a partial mulligan.

Ill-Gotten Gains seems very underwhelming for this deck. Other then the fact that it lets you pick three cards from your grave yard its basically a wheel effect with two MAJOR downsides: One, you let your opponent pick three cards from their grave yard and Two, there is no draw effect to ping with Nekusar.

That Library of Leng though! Do it! Nothing sucks more for an opponent than watching you pick and chose your next hand while they discard their hand and draw four lands and a one drop. Personally I never really liked Breathstealer's Crypt , not enough of either damage or discard. On the damage front, you shouldn't be lacking in that with the cards you already have. If it is the discard you like than put in Helm of the Ghastlord , far more brutal when on Nekusar + it gives you card draw, +2/+2 and is less mana intensive.

I think of Ill-Gotten Gains less of giving people advantage and more of giving me a Hinder , a Wheel of Fate , and a Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir back in hand. Then you can cast teferi and Wheel of Fate the turn after you use Ill-Gotten Gains . (Using the counter magic to keep someone from breaking you with it.)

oakenshild Don't forget about Liliana's Caress and Megrim . If you Ill-Gotten Gains back a Wheel of Fate that's a potential for 28 damage with one Liliana's Caress effect in play. Also, Waste Not will have fun there too.

If you like the MoM/ temple bell combo, the you may want to look into Otherworld Atlas

Also Mind Over Matter and Jace's Archivist is an Infinite combo that you play butDidn't mention in your comments.

You still need U for each tapping but anyways, Mercurial Chemister is pretty slick in these kind of decks as well.

hmmm... still not convinced on Ill-Gotten Gains . I see the potential in setting up a sweet combo but at the same time it sets your opponent up to be able to counter anything you play, or if you have to wait a turn to play those cards you got back, they could set up a board state that you have to respond to instead of playing the god combo you just worked so hard to get. Yes if you have a Megrim or Liliana's Caress you can do some pretty sweet damage but you could do the same damage with a Winds of Change or Whispering Madness and have to bonus damage from them drawing. I think it's more of a preference thing, than which card is better.

hahahahah!! OMG Otherworld Atlas would be hilarious!! Maybe it's not quite at a competitive level, but it looks like a blast.

I was gonna say that you would need to add Fatestitcher or something similar to go infinite with MoM and Jace's Archivist and then I realized that you can untap lands with MoM...

The chemister is good but I'm not sure if there is any thing that is lack-luster enough to warrant being replaced with him. Everything in here seems pretty streamlined to me.

Slight nitpick with your reasoning: Winds of Change doesn't discard anything.

Whether you need the blue or not... Even If the highes number of cards a play has is 2 (EXTREMELY unlikely in this deck) then you trigger the archivist, everyone draws two (Nekusar would deal 2 to everyone) you discard 2 cards to Mind over matter, that will untap the archivist and an island. Rinse, repeat.

Lookin for advice and comments on my list as well. Feel free to check it out and leave a +1. Thanks in advance.

Nekusar's Perfect Storm

Also I you want to speed up the deck you can lower your overall land count an take out your higher cmc cost cards like Sire Of Insanity and play lots and lots of more mana rocks.

I play just about every rock worth playing and consistently kill around turn 5-6. Just a thought, though. Lol

Ohthenoises haha, good point, I didn't even notice. Like I said its just a preference. All cards have their ups and downs.

I can see most of the mana rocks that I know of in here.

Talisman of Indulgence the 3 diamonds like Sky Diamond the 3 medallions like Jet Medallion Helm of Awakening Mox Diamond Mox Opal Pentad Prism Fellwar Stone Mind Stone

Speaking of niv... I'm a HUGE fan of the Curiosity cards on Nekusar. That might as well be another "combo" with Mind Over Matter lol

How come you have a Sire Of Insanity ? Doesn't that kind of mess with the drawing lots of cards thing?

(but if it works for you then ignore me lol)

Dream Fracture ?

Sakashima the Impostor is an extremely versatile card that does a lot of work in this kind of deck. Other great cards worth considering are Wound Reflection to help you get there faster while Painful Quandary is an amazing control card that helps offsets the advantage you give your opponents. And it may be personal preference, but I find Ebony Owl Netsuke is a very underrated card that wrecks life totals, especially earl game, while I find Spiteful Visions too detrimental to my own game plan to be worth running.
