Tryin to build a {nekusar the mindrazer} deck but I've never had a lot if luck with a grixis style before. I've tryed {thraximundar} but it was always a hit or miss, it either started rolling right out of the gate or couldn't get started in game play. Any Grixis advice or staples for this deck? I don't possess the Commander 2013 permade and don't have a {sol ring} to spare i.e all mine are currently in use.
As many {wheel of fortune} and {windfall} effects as you can. {burning inquiry}, {dictate of kruphix}, {jace beleren}, {viceling}, {forced fruition}!
Lots of {fate unraveler} type things too. Nekusar can be brutal, but yeah I hope this was of some help
{winds of change}, {molten psyche}, {teferi's puzzle box}
Talk to Rarehunter. He has oodles of fun with his Nekusar deck from what I can tell
I'm surprised that {Jace's Archivest} hasn't been said yet.

I said {windfall} and {wheel of fortune} effects...pretty much encompasses him and every card scotch listed
Oh, sorry I didn't notice.
{Teferi's puzzlebox}
{Liliana's caress}
{Spellbook}
{Dictate of Kruphix}
{Library of lang}?
{howling mine}
Protection....... Like {propaganda}..
{Anvil of Bogardan} with {Library of Leng} always good. {Psychosis Crawler} for when you draw.
Thanks for all the tips. Would a zombie creature basis be viable? I understand the main direction of the deck is hand recycling, but I don't want to clutter the works with to many strategys. I think a more Izzet style for creatures would be good for this
For creatures, I would recommend {Shocker}, {Barbed Shocker}, {Dragon Mage}, {Whirlpool Warrior}, {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind}, and {Nin, the Pain Artist} to start off. Also, keep in mind things like {Helm of the Ghastlord}, {Elder Mastery}, and {Neko-Te} work with {Nekusar, the Mindrazer}'s ability. {Hive Mind} may not be a bad choice with the wheel spells, too.
Edit: If you're going the wheel route, consider picking up {Dream Halls}. You'll be discarding your hand often anyway, and this saves quite a bit on mana.
Oh, also {Underworld Dreams}
{Whispering Madness} and {Invisible Stalker}, may as well throw in {Liliana's Caress} and {Megrim}. {Consecrated Sphinx}, {Reliquary Tower} and as mentioned, {Jace's Archivist}. Your whole game is to cycle cards through there hands, quick win.
{Venser's Journal}
{Library of Leng}
That way, when you wheel, you can choose whether to send the card to the graveyard, or back to the top of your library
Also can use effects like {Liliana's Caress} and {Megrim}. They discard, they take damage. I also like using {Hive Mind}. With that out, one or two wheel effects is game over. Or you can be mean like me and use hive mind with {Enter the Infinite}... Oops, I win
I also posted my build in this subforum in case you wanted to look at it and get some ideas...
