Strategy

The "Nekusar, the Mindrazer" deck in Magic: The Gathering Commander format is built around punishing opponents for drawing additional cards. Nekusar's ability to make each opponent draw cards and then take damage for doing so is the central strategy of the deck. By combining Nekusar's ability with cards like Underworld Dreams, Fate Unraveler, Liliana's Caress, and others, the deck aims to deal consistent damage to opponents whenever they draw cards. One of the strengths of the deck is its ability to pressure opponents by incentivizing them to draw cards while punishing them for doing so. This can quickly drain opponents' life totals and disrupt their strategies. Cards like Howling Mine, Teferi's Puzzle Box, and Jace's Archivist provide additional card draw for all players, which can be beneficial in a multiplayer format. However, one potential weakness of the deck is its vulnerability to aggressive strategies that can end the game quickly before the incremental damage from card draw effects takes its toll. The deck also relies heavily on Nekusar staying on the battlefield, so removal spells targeting him can disrupt the game plan. Overall, the "Nekusar, the Mindrazer" deck offers a unique and punishing playstyle that can be challenging and fun to pilot in Commander games.
