feel free to check out my EDH Nekusar Pimp my Wheels. deck for some ideas. Piloting the deck is pretty straight forward. get out cards that burn opponents when they draw or discard or when you draw. The most common ones being Liliana's Caress,Megrim, Underworld Dreams, etc. Once you have 1 or more out proceed to wheel via Wheel of Fortune and similar effects.

There are a couple considerations you have to make before building a Nekusar list. Do you want to use Infect? Will your playgroup allow that? Giving Nekusar Infect is a very fast way to end a game, but also a fast way to end your relationship with your playgroup.

Do you want to go infinite? There are multiple ways to generate infinite mana, which you can use with something like Prosperity for infinite draw/infinite damage.

How much of a group-hug style do you want? Many lists will run additional draw artifacts like Howling Mine and Font of Mythos, but I am against doing so. I believe that you want to flood your opponent with cards once you start wheeling; these artifacts will only give them card advantage.

I do not run Infect, do not go infinite, and do not run Mine-effects. If these align with your thoughts for a Nekusar deck, feel free to check out my list.

GreenDawg I have those cards, except Megrim, due to flavor issues.
ducttapedeckbox I said in thee description I'm not using infect, it is too unfun. Not sure whether I want to go the Howling Mine route, and I don't really want the Palinchron combo in my deck.

Check out Nekusar, Take the Wheel!. It's my take on him.
