Interaction between Helm of the Ghastlord and Nekusar?
Asked by Zebgora 11 years ago
I am working on an EDH deck built around Nekusar, the Mindrazer and as I am looking through the various cards in the deck, I know its going to come up with Helm of the Ghastlord .
If I have Nekusar in play and enchanted with the Helm, my opponent draws 2 cards (assuming nothing else is in play) and takes 2 damage. My question is do I then draw 2 cards and make my opponent discard 2?
Awesome! That's kinda what I thought it would do, but I just had to make sure. I know it's gonna come up when and if i can pull the combo off, so I figured I had better get some answers for back up :)

Yes. Nekusar, the Mindrazer's ability triggers once per card drawn, so it will produce two instances of each of Helm of the Ghastlord's conferred abilities. The end result is that your opponent is dealt 2 damage, you draw two cards, and your opponent discards two cards.
