I love, love, LOVE this guy! He draws so much board hate, but I say bring it on!

I've been asked "Y U NO INFINITE COMBOZ?!?" I believe infinite combos ruin the fun of Commander. Period. Everyone's doing their own thing, getting a board state established, then BOOM! Johnny just wins out of nowhere with no real effort and without applause. Boring! Grumpy! It's not fun for anyone, which is kind of the whole point of Commander. Fun above all else. /endsoapbox

Nasty Nekusar combos:

Nekusar, the Mindrazer + Sigil of Sleep = Bouncy!

Elder Mastery + Nekusar, the Mindrazer = Discard twice as many as they draw? Yes, please!

Helm of the Ghastlord + Nekusar, the Mindrazer = You draw one and they discard one for every card they draw. Gross!

The above combos also work well with Fate Unraveler and Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, but unfortunately not with Psychosis Crawler.

I'm down with any suggestions, but specifically I'm looking for additional defensive options to help keep me alive long enough to waste everyone. Let me know what you think!
