Nekusar Grixis EDH control deck. The typical Nekusar deck is a glass cannon, seeking to dish out damage to the entire table. This build takes a different approach. The approach is so subtle that your opponents won't look at Nekusar as a threat. Most Nekusar decks are public enemy number one and hence don't reach their full potential because they stack as many card draw enchantments as possible. This deck seeks to gain favor and is political in the beginning and slowly becomes a real curse late game. Over time, turn after turn your opponents slowly lose precious life while you protect your board state and search for infinite combo pieces. There's a lot of instants and protection (fog) pieces in here. When you're defenses are set then it's time to bust out the wheels, instant kill spells, and infinite combos to win the game. There's a myriad of them that you can easily tutor out:

Demonic Consultation + Thassa's Oracle = Self mill victory

Demonic Consultation + Laboratory Maniac = Self mill victory

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Ophidian Eye or Curiosity = Infinite card draw and damage. Use Elixir of Immortality to recycle cards and gain life Nekusar, the Mindrazer + Ophidian Eye or Curiosity = Infinite card draw and damage. Use Elixir of Immortality to recycle cards and gain life

Either of the above can be used with Laboratory Maniac to trigger a self-mill victory.

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + any mana rock that untaps for 3 or more mana such as Basalt Monolith or Mana Vault resulting in infinite colorless mana, then you can sling a myriad of big spells such as Omniscience etc.

Assign Phyresis or Glistening Oil to Nekusar, the Mindrazer It would be ideal to have some protection on your commander or a backup counter spell as this will generate a lot of hate and attention so if you do this make sure you have a possible winning hand. Then play Prosperity or one of your wheels such as Wheel of Fortune or Diminishing Returns You can cast Increasing Vengeance to amplify a wheel dishing out enough poison for lethal across the table or if you have Fiery Emancipation it's a sure win.

Peer into the Abyss + Nekusar, the Mindrazer is an instant kill. Have a backup counterspell. Use Increasing Vengeance or Double Vision to deal lethal to two players.
