Draw and Tutors aplenty for you to get the lands, sorceries, and artifacts needed to survive until turn 7 or so, at which point you cast peer into the abyss, preferably with a tapped Boseiju to avoid counters, and deal a casual 60 or 70 damage. There's a good amount of recursion so you you can still win against multiple people, or recover from being forced to discard Peer or similar. If you do a decent job managing your instants and sorceries to stop your opponent from developing board too much in turns 4-6 you usually don't have trouble surviving for long enough to get Nekusar out, you have very few permanents out, and almost no creatures, so total board wipes don't hurt much. Counter anything that would ruin your strategy. This isn't a great competitive deck or anything, it's not consistent enough to get out board wipes and similar by turn 3, even if it can sometimes manage it, and if you don't play a land every turn for at least the first three turns, it is slower than you want it. It has multiple victory conditions though, besides peer it can transition into a decent endless recursion deck with solid control, but is limited by a lack of life gain. Commander damage isn't that big a risk unless they have a voltron, which you should prepare for with aoe removals backed with either Boseiju or a counter, it's usually better to tank than block with Nekusar, since playing him on a turn really slows down the deck considering how much draw and tutor you have, other creatures are mostly to help early game if you're going against an aggro, sometimes it's better to tutor out some cheap creatures than constantly using instants and sorceries to not die. Lighthouse is mostly included in the off chance you need to tutor it out because a player's hexproof. I like the defensive instants and sorceries in this deck personally, but it's probably worth developing a sideboard of potential replacements.
