Does Hullbreacher trigger Nekusar?

Asked by Quickspell 3 years ago

Does it make sense to run Hullbreacher with Nekusar, the Mindrazer ? Or does Hullbreacher prevent Nekusar from dealing damage, since opponents won't draw cards?

Delphen7 says... Accepted answer #1

Nekusar only deals damage when an opponent draws a card. When Hullbreacher replaces the draw, they don't draw a card and you would create a treasure. Since they didn't draw a card they won't take damage.

Running Hullbreacher would be up to you. If you don't think it would work, don't! But if you have lots of expensive cards that could benefit from the treasures, or you want to include the Hullbreacher, go for it!

To echo what Delphen7 said, Hullbreacher will prevent Nekusar's effect from working. However, they both want the same kind of setup with wheel effects and such, so as long as you can either get Hullbreacher off the field when you need to or use a pile of Treasures to power a separate win, it's probably just fine in the deck.
