+1 from me, I love Grixis wheels. I highly recommend Waste Not. If youre having trouble with creatures hitting you in the face then put a wall of zombies between you and them. Vampiric Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Lim-Dul's Vault are great for setting up a miracle cost on Reforge the Soul or even getting that control piece when you need it. More wheels! Dark Deal and Whispering Madness are missing. Dark Deal is worth testing over the other. Anyway, checkout my baby Nicol Bolas' Machinations if you want. It is combo with control elements that was originally made to mess up Hermit Druid people so it can handle most group games while getting hated on.

+1 For using nekusar. I play him as well. Here's my brew: Kmowledge Hurts

I love Whispering Madness because when encoded on True-Name Nemesis, the player you target isneveryones target, people don't want more wheels.

Also, Sire Of Insanity seems weird, but with Waste Not and/or Bloodchief Ascension...

May I suggest bloodchief ascension, curiosity and Helm of the Ghastlord? Creeping tarpit works great with Whispering madness owing to cipher only caring whether it is a creature when the cipher trigger resolves

Bloodchief ascension is insane but often too slow and is removed before it gets counters, although it's worth a sideboard still situationallyrics, curiosity and Helm both work exclusively on nekusar in this deck, and are a dead card later in the game when he has died too many times, plus,removing nekusar is fairly easy in edh and if you try and combo out with nekusar and either enchantment it usually doesn't resolve, although I'm aware of the cards combo potential, they're too exclusive to be worth it

Tar pit Is a great Idea, unblockable cipher creature with evasion makes it a much better cipher target since it stays on the land and can survive my creature wipe spells, the only truly good cipher target with my utility creatures is considered sphinx because flying, I usually don't need or get to use the cipher, but having a ciphered wheel on a land does seem like a great backup plan, thanks

Also may I ask your opinion on my Nekusar list,

Looks very combo based, I used to run stuff like mindcrank and leyline of the void/helm of obedience, But they ended up being cut as they don't really have any functions outside of a 2 or 3 card combo and thus are very inconsistent in 100 card singleton, my list is designed to be as consistent and fast as possible, using global wipes to fish for the opportunity to safely chain wheel effects or combo out with dream halls or mind over matter, although admittedly this is far from a budget list and I've been playing nekusar since he first was printed
