Quote from: Dudecore on September 01, 2014, 08:35:08 PMI actually had Dack in this but I just don't see why he is that great. His ultimate is useless in this deck. I suppose his -2 is very relevant in commander? But yea I forgot how helpful his +1 is in this build.Quote from: cltrn81 on September 01, 2014, 08:25:45 PM

Awesome. Now:

+ {Dack Fayden}
Quote from: Dudecore on September 01, 2014, 09:20:28 PMI've always loved the idea of death by drawing cards. I have built other multiplayer free for all decks similar to this. This strategy tends to gain hate from other players and ends up making it me verse everyone else lol
Why Nekusar? What about him made you want to break into the format?
Quote from: Gorzo on September 02, 2014, 01:20:18 AMOh wow!
{Forced Fruition} gets out of hand REAL fast with Nekusar on the table.
Quote from: cltrn81 on September 02, 2014, 03:07:42 PM
I am thinking if running {master of the feast} over {baleful strix} unless anyone has a better idea to replace
Better yet....I am going to replace {dragonspeaker shaman} since I don't really have enough dragons
Quote from: DimirOverlord1300 on September 02, 2014, 04:41:30 PMYea I don't own then or I would. I had them all but gamble but alas I traded then when I left legacy for modern.
Looks like you're missing a lot of the good tutors... {Mystcal Tutor}, {Demonic Tutor}, {Vampiric Tutor}, {Gamble}, etc.
Quote from: cltrn81 on December 16, 2014, 05:36:19 PM
I just cannot bring myself to add things like {tainted strike} or {glistening oil}. Is it just me or does anyone else consider using that with Nekasur is a crappy way to win?
I do not mean to offend anyone who uses infect as a commander strategy. I just think it takes the fun away. Unless you are doing it to be a troll and then we'll hey trolls will be trolls.
Quote from: the_intelligentleman on December 16, 2014, 06:16:27 PMWere not competitive please don't listen to him. We have a Derevi deck and used to have A Uril deck and those two just looked really good in comparison to the other decks because they're alright, well, Uril was alight. Derevi is awesome and you could make the argument that that deck is competitive. /nonsensical ramblingsQuote from: cltrn81 on December 16, 2014, 05:36:19 PM

Lol that's how I win in my list, but my playgroup is really competitive so I need to be able to win relatively quickly.

Quote from: Gadnuk, Breaker of Worlds on December 18, 2014, 10:17:49 PMAs a general rule of thumb, if the combo piece is bad outside of the combo and the other combo piece isnt your commander, don't put it in.
If you have the right things in play, you may be drawing 2 cards on other players turns so the ability may get off faster. Especially with {Notion Thief}.

Quote from: Kaalia with haste on December 19, 2014, 07:18:09 AM{Notion Thief} is good with Nekusar given the right circumstances. It's a great way to steal the extra draw each players turn and a good combo piece with things similar to {Wheel of Fortune} so you can slow the .Fling. out of your opponents without having to hit them all individually with {Nicol Bolas}. Some decks actually don't even use the generals outside of the need for that colour combination.Quote from: Gadnuk, Breaker of Worlds on December 18, 2014, 10:17:49 PMAs a general rule of thumb, if the combo piece is bad outside of the combo and the other combo piece isnt your commander, don't put it in.

Quote from: Gadnuk, Breaker of Worlds on December 22, 2014, 12:34:37 AM{Notion thief} has had many a discussion over on mtgsal in the Nekusar thread. Most people, including myself, do not run it as it's effect is not optional. If you aren't keeping track on how many cards are left in your deck, once you put down 2 or more consecative wheels, you may just wind up decking yourself.Quote from: Kaalia with haste on December 19, 2014, 07:18:09 AM{Notion Thief} is good with Nekusar given the right circumstances.

Being able to get your commander out turn 3 is mucho bueno.
Quote from: Codester1991 on December 23, 2014, 01:37:02 PMI was leaning more towards {Mind Over Matter} + {Jace's Archivist} for Nekusar

Have you considered {sigil of sleep}? Since he deals a separate 1 damage for each card drawn, no one would be able to keep a creature on the board....

I also noticed you have {Prosperity} but not {Minds Aglow} (unless I overlooked it). Minds aglow in my opinion in 1000% better, as you play U to cast it, and X upon resolution. Whereas with prosperity you pay XU upon casting. If someone counters Minds Aglow, you only lost U and then you can use your mana to cast something else.
