The sideboard is basically a way for me to remember which cards I have taken out, so disregard them for the actual list:)

Personally, I cringe at the nigh on nonexistent creature base. But I see what you're doing here, and I love it!

I recommend {Underworld Dreams}, {Spiteful Visions}, and {Kederekt Parasite} (as well as Fate Unraveler from Born of the Gods) since they let you kill your opponents even faster, and {Laboratory Maniac} since {Notion Thief} and wheel effects can let it win you games.

 {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind}

Also... More creatures... You are going to make the entire table want to take you out of the game, and you need some sort of buffer to allow your game plan to work.

 {Sturmgeist} would fit well here, too. He's not as nasty as {Psychosis Crawler}, but he flies and draws you another card!

{Venser's Journal} would be good, too. Gives you another card with no max hand size so you don't need to bank on finding that reliquary tower as fast, and the life gain in a deck like yours will really let you take a beating!

 {Graveborn Muse} and somethink like {Army of the Damned} or {Grave Titan} to gain more card draw

 {Past in Flames} and  {Yawgmoth's Will}  make my deck work, I don't know how many times these cards have allowed me to just outright win.

I appreciate the comments,  {Past in Flames},  {Yawgmoth's Will}, and {Venser's Journal} made the cut.

I am still toying around with the idea of adding more creatures such as  {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind},  {Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius}, and  {Sturmgeist}.

 {Teferi's Puzzle Box} makes for a fun game, and with Nekusar it can be lethal.

It wrecks your opponents and lets you pull off {laboratory maniac} wins pretty safely. Can't ask for much more than that :)

Yeah you have to pick and choose when to play  {Notion Thief}, but it can work well at times. This whole deck it built around proper plays. I'm going to post the updated list.

Revised the list.

Consider cards that give Nekusar infect. He deals the damage, so if you give him infect he'll give poison. {Glistening Oil}, {Phyresis}, {Tainted Strike}, and {Grafted Exoskeleton} are the main ones in Nekusar's colors. There's also a {Mind Control}–type spell that grants infect, but I don't use it.

Also, if you're using Niv-Mizzet, you might want to consider using {Curiosity} and {Ophidian Eye} as a secondary win con. In that case, you may want to throw in an Eldrazi titan to make sure you can keep your combo going.
