Wisdom can be summed up in two rules: Control what you can. Eliminate what you cannot. ~Dromar the Banisher

As the Tyrant of Grixis, Nekusar vastly prefers having his enemies killed by a noose wrought by themselves than mindlessly beating them to death. With that preference, Nekusar's repertoire consists of magic, not to kill the opponent by force, but by forcing the enemy to tighten his grasp around their own necks. Additionally, being both a Zombie and a Wizard, Nekusar has utter disdain for mere mortals, and consequently has numerous spells at the ready to dispose of all life nearby. The few that he does keep, however, are wizards of great power, intellect, or mindless eldrazi which can be controlled easily.

Combos Show

Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell= infinite draw, decks them even if I don't have nekusar out, uses Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre to avoid decking myself

Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank = mill opponents out of their library and drain them of their life in the process

And now for the unusual combo I can almost guarantee is unique to this deck... Creeping Tar Pit/Lavaclaw Reaches + Dual Casting + Time Spiral. First, animate the land, doesn't matter which one. Then, enchant the manland with Dual Casting. Cast Time Spiral and copy it using the manland. Seeing as Time Spiral untaps 6 lands, You can untap the manland and other lands, and then repeat the cycle. Results in infinite mana, infinite casting of all the instants in the deck, and infinite storm count. Does require the ability to produce 12 mana in one turn though.

Future changes:

Spinerock Knoll->Cascade Bluffs

Crumbling Necropolis-> Mana Confluence

Vivid Creek->Scalding Tarn

Decree of Pain-> Damnation

Thran Dynamo->Izzet Signet

Nevinyrral's Disk->?

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon->Vandalblast(not sure)

Necromantic Selection->? (Good wipe, allows me to wipe the board and keep nekusar... but is high on the curve. Thoughts?)

Any input is appreciated, as long as there is some basis to the suggestion.
