Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Nekusar turns card draw into a weapon. Your opponents draw extra cards every turn, which sounds generous—until those extra cards trigger Nekusar's second ability, pinging them for damage. You're basically forcing the table to hurt itself while you sit back and watch the life totals drop. The deck plays symmetrical draw effects (wheel spells, group draw) and other cards that punish drawing, turning a normally positive action into a slow burn.

Your win condition is attrition: chip away at everyone's life total simultaneously until they're in range for a final blow. You can also lean into cards that benefit *you* from the extra draws while hurting opponents—think spells that trigger on draw or cards that redirect Nekusar's damage. Since Nekusar himself is relatively fragile, protect him with counterspells or evasion, and load up on wheels and steady draw effects to keep the pressure mounting.
