Nekusar aims to win primarily via damage from Nekusar's triggered ability (or some help from some little buddies). This is because this is the most fun. It also shuts down a lot of your opponent's win strategies. Best to have protection at the ready and don't play him until you have a shot at equipping boots/greaves. I usually tutor early for protection.

But, as soon as boss man hits the board, you're usually the archenemy. If you aren't going to be able to wheel everyone to death, you can always fall back on good ole (Lab Maniac / Thassa's Oracle / Jace with too many blue pips) + (Tainted Pact / Demonic Consultation)! With the right opening hand, maybe you win on turn 2 or 3 though. Earliest I've won with the deck is turn 4.

14 Wheels is a lot of wheels. Your opponents are going to see lots of cards, which means expect a lot of removal coming your way. And counterspells.

Glacial Chasm has won me many games with this deck. The ability to ignore all damage and continue to wheel is ridiculous.

This is one of my first commander decks that I've fine tuned over the years. It's a power house and I love it. It is usually a crazy game with explosive turns for everyone, due to the constant hand refills. I don't know if I win consistently with the deck... But the games are always a blast!
