Nekusar, the Mindrazer - Commander Deck Tech

Nekusar has been wheeling and dealing damage to play groups ever since its first printing in 2013, and after a decade of forced card draw its recent reprint in commander masters, seems like the perfect time for us to talk about an this commander icon.

[@kismet8010]

Looks like an interesting build. I might have to give it a try.

[@remy333]

Nice tech. Thanks. 🍻

[@richardszalkai3817]

very underrated channel

[@corymachlan6177]

This is almost exactly how I was thinking of building it.

[@jonmasich8732]

Been looking for a recently updated deck video for this guy i just got the secret lair

[@deathreaper2410]

another defensive equipment you can consider running is winged boots 2 drop blue equipment 1 to equipment gives nekusar flying and ward 4

[@starslayer18]

I’ve been wanting to build Nekusar for a while and this build looks really fun and up my alley. I do plan on adding a Helm of The Ghastlord in just so when I wheel nobody will have hands but me…..I will then be promptly beating in the parking lot lol.

[@giannimeschiari5154]

Check out library of leng, no max hand size, and when you're forced to discard you can put any card on topo of your deck instead

[@Astoth119]

Nekusar primer, or "How to lose friends and be ejected from playgroups".

[@alexabney7913]

Just got my metal is forever version of nekusar but I’ve never built a deck with him

[@remy333]

Do you have a decklist uploaded? If I hit the “…more” link below your video title it just takes me to your channel overview. Was thinking maybe you shared it in the description, but for some reason your description isn’t expanding on my device. If you have a link it would be super appreciated. Thanks!

[@kismet8010]

He doesn't have a deck list. Just gives you options to run in your own build.

[@phareux5135]

Does nekusar s effect only work on Battlefield?

[@duathhadron5040]

Yes. The only commander effects that work when they’re not on the battlefield are Eminence abilities. If Nekusar had Eminence he would 100% be banned or he would be even more expensive than Edgar Markov.

[@oron91]

Am I an asshole for putting "Phyresis" in this deck? 😅

[@Watchmyarm]

No the video suggests it even.

[@guildmasterandy3767]

This Deck got me hated off the table. Like I could never play it without getting focused down just for playing the deck.

[@tokertalk9648]

You missed out on one of the most important aspects of this deck. Graveyard shenanigans. Aside from the reanimation effects, you should have at least a couple ways to be able to play those wheel effects from the graveyard. Cards like Snapcaster Mage, Yawgs Will and Past in Flames are a must in Nekusar decks.
