Hello, do you think Nekusar the Mindrazer would belong in a Yidris deck? Cuz if there are all these wheel-like cards like windfall, reforge the soul, etc, it would be helpful to deal damage as well.
Yeah. I used to run a Nekusar storm deck with wheels in it maybe 2 years ago and tried tuning it as far as I could take it. Before doing a bunch of revisions, I used to have Sakashima the Impostor in the deck. He did next to no work. The way the deck was designed made it so that if I could untap with Nekusar and face no insane countermagic, I'd win that turn. Taking a turn off to Sakashima Nekusar for double damage was insanely win more and I laugh at myself for not realizing it immediately back then.

Nah. If you're going the whole wheel based storm approach, you've really got to double down on it. Taking a turn to tap 5 mana on your main phase and delaying going off by a turn is silly. If you want to ping life instead of mill, use nekusar as your general.
