FormOverFunction on Bureaucracy!

I’ve played a number of games now and the deck is a lot of fun! This is the first deck (basically) of mine that has counter-magic in it, so I’ve had to reassess my playing habits, but otherwise it’s loaded with weird interactions that sort of pilot themselves. The commander is really important to get out there, as it will build you a 2/2 Army pretty promptly, and you need to draw a lot in order to get a good amount of theme on the table. Confessor matches up nicely with the draw/discard effects, and your first clue on your turn will get you two cards each turn. The color-hate (like Justice and Sanctimony) can be sort of feels-bad so a few of the games I’ve just sat on them (only justice, come to think of it). Library of Leng and Ivory Tower are always a great team, and Island Sanctuary is buttressed well by drawing on other people’s turns. The downside I hadn’t considered with that, though, is you’re still pretty weak to flying. I managed to use Abbey Matron in the best (only?) way, blocking and then pumping, which sort of felt like unlocking an achievement. Restore the Peace is great both against tokens that are beating you up AND against big baddies that block your 2/2s. Martial Law is one of the best answers to fliers and other trouble, almost like an Oblivion Ring that you can re-target every turn. This post is getting pretty long, so I’m going to wrap it up... but I think you get the notion ;p Thanks for asking MagicMarc!!

I had to look up what “spellshaper” means, so keep that in mind as you read LOL. Is there some manner of value you can create with Library of Leng and stacking specific cards in a specific order on the top of your deck? It would be utilizing that lesser-known aspect of the library, and I’m always a huge fan of that.

Library of Leng would let you connive to the top of your library if you wanted

As a fan of Nekusar, the Mindrazer, I can confidantly say that this deck looks really solid. Something I've always liked is Library of Leng. It lets you discard cards you may want to keep back to the top of your deck, which allows you to keep your best stuff when you wheel everyone elses best toys away. Sangromancer can offer a bit of extra life in case you end up being a a target. Reinterpret is a wild counterspell that can lead to some fun plays and drop bombs while also interrupting your opponents plans. Feed the Swarm gives you another way to potentially deal with pesky enchantments. Burning Inquiry is just a pet card of mine. Can really mess up peoples plans. Wheel of Misfortune needs to be read and re-read 7 times, but it puts in so much work while being just a touch chaotic. Wheel and Deal can also really mess with people, especially since its a wheel at instant speed. You are already running Notion Thief, so Narset, Parter of Veils is just another way to lock out extra card draw. Bloodchief Ascension gets out of hand really fast, and very quickly ends the game. last thing, Tinybones, Trinket Thief is a nice little card draw engine that doubles as a wincon. If you are having a hard time trying to find cuts, I have noticed there are quite a few cards in the deck that have really high mana values. I would personally start there. I am not sure your budget, so feel free to take all of these suggestions as you see fit. From one Grixis player to another, I wish you the best of luck with your deck.

Library of Leng is a "no max hand size" card you missed. I would replace Spell Book with it. I has some really interesting applications with discard effects as well (Windfall, One With Nothing, etc.).

i would take Library of Leng over Scroll Rack in any Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck
P.S. Abundance + Library of Leng = ignore any Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck

If that is the goal, Library of Leng is the better choice I'd say

So if your play group is ok with this "certainly salty" rudeness, I strongly recommend Pox (and Smallpox). Not for every playgroup because of the land destruction but its really fun the way it changes up the game and can punish bad decisions. Also poxs give you the highest discard to mana value ratio. Another rec for this deck is Dark Deal. 3 mana make each opponent reduce hand size by 1 plus it synergises with your Library of Leng.
