I saw on edhrec a deck category called wheel.What does it mean ?
As mentioned by cdkime, the most common deck revolves Nekusar, the Mindrazer's ability, and other permanents with similar effects, like Fevered Visions, Phyrexian Tyranny and Underworld Dreams. Your opponents lose life when they draw a card, so you make sure they do that as much as possible, using wheels like Reforge the Soul and Windfall, wheel-like effects of creatures like Barbed Shocker or Jace's Archivist and of course powerful artefacts like Teferi's Puzzle Box.
Here is my decklist as an example of a deck relying on this mechanic : Drawing Your Last Breath

Wheel effects are any effects that cause you to discard/shuffle into your library/set asside your hand, and draw a set of new cards. They get their name from Wheel of Fortune.
These cards are almost exclusively run Nekusar, the Mindrazer. This is a particularly lethal combo, as you are hitting the entire table for massive damage. With cards like Phyresis or Helm of the Ghastlord attached to Nekusar, can either finish all your opponents simultaneously, or prevent them from ever retaining any cards they draw.
