Post by: Aladormax on April 01, 2014, 09:33:04 PM
I would run a ton of  {Wheel of Fortune} style effects as well as  {Howling Mine} and  {Underworld Dreams} to hurt other players. The top end on this scale is pricy but  {Chains of Mephistopheles} is good for driving people crazy. Please post the build so I can suggest more fun things to do to people in magic, like playing  {Black Vise} in this deck or adding  {Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur} for the lols.
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: Nymuera on April 01, 2014, 10:50:09 PM
{prosperity} {bloodgift demon} {vision skeins} all work well. And throw in {reliquary tower} to keep what you have to draw.

The jace that has all players draw a card and 1 player draw 20 cards for ult

{duskmantle seer}

Theres probably hundreds of cards thatll help here so youre in for a long haul

Post by: Sparkle Ninja on April 01, 2014, 11:30:50 PM
{Descent into madness} because I don't know

Quick tip: Duskmantle does not make the player draw the card, just put it in their hand, so Nekusar won't trigger there :) for anyone who is confused

{Teferi's Puzzle Box} is stupid in that deck too

Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: DylanW18 on April 01, 2014, 11:54:14 PM
The point it the deck is to make your opponent draw themselves to death. The puzzle box means your opponents are taking 5+ damage ish a turn..

{Jace Beleren} who would generally just destroy in this deck, even if you don't ult him

I would still play notion thief. Thief + 1 wheel effect = gg
Title: Re: Nekusar

Yea i mean the thied puzzle combo is still utimate lockout, its just win in a very different way
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: rarehuntertay on April 02, 2014, 07:07:49 AM
Wow. I come in and see all the suggestions. Thanks everyone. I'll try to think of a build, this are all good suggestions. Puzzle Box is a definite, I've loved that card since it first came out
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: Coffee Vampire on April 02, 2014, 09:48:54 AM
Be sure to pick up {Waste Not} when it comes out. That card + {Wheel of Fortune} in a 4 player game is just insanity.
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: Remillo on April 02, 2014, 11:04:21 AM
Also, don't forget {Library of Leng} so you can pick and choose which cards you hold on to while everyone else has to ditch everything!
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: DylanW18 on April 02, 2014, 11:30:52 AM
{Sire of Insanity} is a possibility
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: rarehuntertay on April 02, 2014, 01:32:23 PM
I was also thinking of adding in  {Master of Cruelties}... Which would force them into a difficult position. Do I block and lose a creature, putting me in a worse position against the other players; or do I just die the next time I draw?
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: MisterJH on April 02, 2014, 01:35:52 PM
I think itd be a fun little addition, do it!
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: DylanW18 on April 02, 2014, 03:24:23 PM
{Mogis, God of Slaughter} is also very solid in this build, as it deals damage over time, just like Nekusar
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: rarehuntertay on April 02, 2014, 04:21:43 PM
{Nekusar, the Mindrazer}

{Psychosis Crawler}
{Kederekt Parasite}
{Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind}
{Nicol Bolas}
{Mogis, God of Slaughter}
{Sire of Insanity}
{Nin, the Pain Artist}
{Jace's Archivist}
{Master of Cruelties}

{Windfall}
{Prosperity}
{Wheel of Fortune}
{Time Reversal}
{Time Spiral}
{Whispering Madness}
{Winds of Change}
{Howling Mine}
{Temple Bell}
{Forced Fruition}
{Underworld Dreams}
{Teferi's Puzzle Box}
{Bloodchief Ascension}
{Price of Knowledge}
{Spiteful Visions}

{Jace Beleren}
{Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded}
{Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}

It's a start. Currently at 28 cards. I plan on running 41 lands, so that leaves us with 31 spots more to fill. Keep up the work guys!!!

That better be sarcastic because he is easily the worst PW to ever be printed

ok, brackets fixed.
As for our 2CC planeswalker friend, his +1 allows me to dig, and his -4 will damage the opponent. And seriously, who's going to attack him? He is just.... so...... weak....
Title: Re: Nekusar
Post by: MisterJH on April 02, 2014, 05:49:50 PM
He does allow you to dig, but theres a solid chance youll discard something you need randomly. Unless you plan on running GY recursion tibalt really is not worth the risk, theres much better cards todig with

His +1 will always discard the card you want.... His -4 is so over costed for the ability... And his ult depends on how good your opponents moves have been... Which is crap

However, I have seen several decks run {Gamble} and his plus one is a weaker version of such. I will test him and find out. He might be fun to play just because of the "lol" factor.

tibalt is only useful if you {hive mind} a {enter the infinite} the -4
and i would add a {stuffy doll} to go with the artist of painto refill your hand when you need to

That's 36 spells so far. Still thinking 41 lands. Is that too much? Leaves room for 23 more spells. Should I put in  {Megrim}-type effects since everyone will be discarding a lot? Keep up the suggestions!!!
