Everyone draws a bunch of cards and LOVES IT! Show

JK Actually, they hate it ;-)

Strategy and reasons for leaving some "obvious" cards out

-Basically, stick some damaging permanents and let's all draw some cards!

Made this deck with no 2 card wombo-combos and no tutors, but lots of value. Group hug/slug which means people actually get to enjoy seeing more cards. Once the damage for drawing permanents start to stick, they will realize we are here for a good time, not a long time. I kept out the God of Salt Tergrid, God of Fright   and the one sided wheel guys like Notion Thief and Narset, Parter of Veils. I tried to make it as AOE drawing and damaging as possible. I also did not include one player kill combo cards like Peer into the Abyss, Curiosity, or Mindcrank which can go infinite with Bloodchief Ascension

Thematics for the deck

The deck's theme comes from Nekusar's name being the Mindrazer, which sounds very similar to Hellraiser. Teferi's Puzzle Box works wonderfully for the deck's goals and thematically since the Puzzle Box is a central plot point throughout the series. I also included some maze lands for Hellraiser II Maze of Ith, Labyrinth of Skophos, and Spires of Orazca   which we get off of the Thaumatic Compass   Also, my friends and I always wanted to make Phyrexian Tyranny and Forced Fruition work together well in a deck, it just feels so at home in this list.
