Basic Strategy

  1. Ramp into wheels. Wheels draw into more ramp, etc etc.
  2. Cast Nekusar and pain permanents.
  3. Setup heavy wheeling to burn or poison opponents out.

Broken Paths To Victory

A. Dream HallsPerhaps the most busted card in this deck, having this in play means you are well on your way to victory. Wheeling draws you a ton of cards, which you can then play for free, allowing you to effectively power through the majority of your deck with ease. Important support card: Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir.

B. Mind Over MatterA powerful enabler that allows you to untap artifact mana and lands at a whim. Paired with the heavy amount of card draw, MoM performs a similar role to Dream Halls. Less risky, but not as broken. This enchantment also creates nearly infinite mana artifact ramp cards, and has its own infinite with Temple Bell.

C. Hive MindAn enabler in the sense that you'll cast less wheels while this is in play. Cast a single wheel, and deal up to 28 damage with Nekusar in play. Note that this card is dangerous, and I wouldn't cast it until you're ready to go off.

D. Infect Poison (Tainted Strike / Phyresis / Glistening Oil)An alternative method to winning via burn. These are cheap enablers that also reduce the cost of winning by a large margin. Cast them on Nekusar before performing two wheels. This is by far one of the riskiest plays - I may end up taking these out if it's too easy to deal with Nekusar.

E. Notion ThiefEOT flash this guy in and draw up to 28 cards with your next wheel. From there, you can proceed to win via Psychosis Crawler or by setting up a big wheeling turn and then bouncing Notion Thief to your hand with Chain of Vapor.

Things to Keep in MindThis is a chaos combo deck. Don't fall in love with your hands. If there's a pain card, and it's not convenient to cast, don't be afraid to wheel it away. The point is to build large amounts of mana first. Due to the random nature of the deck, you can't expect to have a linear game plan at all, so embrace what the heart of the cards gives you.
