I want the deck to the passive aggressive sort that punishes people for just playing. It may not sound like fun but it is my play style. My favorite deck is my Nekusar the Mindrazer deck.

I want to take the "Players cant gain life." cards out and just have it so opponents cant gain life but I dont have ideas for replacements yet but I do want to leave Tainted Remedy in for the time being.

Cards I am looking for would be things that do something similar to the commander or Painful Quandary and punishes them for casting the spell. This was just spur of the moment idealization but I do think I will focus on building it.

In my opinion the land base is pretty balanced thus far, only thing I need to really go out of my way for is the Badlands. (My wallet already aches.)

I am open to recommendations and ideas moving forward. Anything you have for making the deck faster/more consistent just drop it in a comment.

Afterthoughts: Looking back it does sort of play like my Nekusar just less focused on card draw and possibly a little more passive. I slap cards on the table and let them go to work.
