You get a card! You get a card! You get a card!

Sub $100 Version in progress and trying to keep this one between $200-300 for now!

Lands Show

There isn’t really anything too special in here, but I have a few utility lands; Bojuka Bog, Geier Reach Sanitarium, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Nephalia Academy, and Reliquary Tower.

If you have the money to upgrade here’s a list of upgrades; Blood Crypt, Steam Vents, Watery Grave, Bloodstained Mire, Polluted Delta, Scalding Tarn, Underground Sea, Badlands, and Volcanic Island.

~

Removal Show

Archfiend of Ifnir - Everytime I wheel this creature turns into a boardwipe for my opponents even against indestructible or hexproof creatures.

Nin, the Pain Artist - I love this card in this list because with Nekusar in play it basically says deal x damage to target creature and it’s controller, they draw x.

~

Mindrazers Show

Breathstealer's Crypt - This card either gets rid of the creature they just drew or they get Lightning Bolted to the face. I love it perfect fit for the deck.

Mogis, God of Slaughter - This is one of my favorite cards ever printed. They either get rid of a creature or they get Shocked every turn. It really helps me slow down my opponents despite the insane amount of cards they get to draw.

Phyrexian Tyranny - Another perfect fit for the deck. Whenever they draw a card which they will, a lot, they either pay 2 mana or get Shocked.

Teferi's Puzzle Box - This is probably the best mindrazer in the deck. Every single draw step they get a new hand via draw and they lose a whole lotta life baby.

~

Wheels Show

These are pretty self-explanatory, but the best ones are; Jace's Archivist, Molten Psyche, Reforge the Soul, Time Reversal, and Wheel and Deal.

If you have the money to upgrade Wheel of Fortune and Time Spiral are the best wheels available.

~

Counters Show

Arcane Denial - This is the best counter in our deck because as they do get to draw cards off of it, it’s not immediate, they’ll take life, and it only cost 2 mana.

Muddle the Mixture - It’s another counterspell at face value, but it can also tutor up my combo pieces while also hitting other things like Waste Not or Cyclonic Rift.

~

Tutors Show

I once Merchant Scrolled for a Mystical Tutor, Mystical Tutored for a Dark Petition, used Temple Bell to draw it, Dark Petitioned for Mindcrank, and then used the spell mastery mana to cast and combo off with Duskmantle Guildmage in one turn. Idk why I told you that instead of describing the cards, but this was just so cool.

If you have the money there’s heavy upgrading here in; Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Gamble.

~

Utility Show

Forced Fruition - This card is hilarious in this deck. Whenever an opponent plays a spell they draw 7 cards and lose 7+ life.

Incendiary Command - This card is a wheel, board wipe, and more. It does so much for this deck and is a great tool for all points of the game.

Laboratory Maniac - Lab Maniac makes me feel better about myself because of the three mill decks in my meta and because I can accidentally draw myself out possibly.

Phyresis - Apparenly because you know magic, infect counts non-combat damage and Nekusar can deal 10 damage pretty fast.

Sigil of Sleep - Imagine playing against a deck where at the beginning of every draw step you draw 2+ cards, lose 2+ life, and have 2+ permanents returned to your hand. Doesn’t sound like fun, right? That’s exactly why I’m playing it!

~

Mana Rocks Show

I don’t think there’s really any reason to explain these cards, but here’s some upgrades if they’re in your budget; Mana Crypt, Chromatic Lantern, and more.

~

Board Wipes Show

I’m kinda really iffy on In Garruk's Wake I wonder if Black Sun's Zenith or Starstorm would be better, but I’m not very well fitted for commander yet, so I’m welcome to suggestions.

Obviously Damnation is a great card if it’s in your budget.
