Notes
 
Nekusar’s dinner party has evolved from decadent cruelty into organized collapse. Glutton for Punishment is a high-velocity Grixis wheel deck that weaponizes card draw, hand destruction, and recursive pressure to grind opponents between feast and famine until the entire table implodes. Extra cards flow freely at first through Puzzle Box effects, wheels, and symmetrical draw engines, but every refill becomes another step toward disaster as Nekusar and his cadre of punishment effects turn greed into self-destruction. Hands vanish. Life totals evaporate. Recovery becomes impossible. Whether through massive wheel damage, discard punishment, recursive graveyard-fueled turns, or sudden infect compression, the deck thrives on forcing impossible choices and punishing every attempt to stabilize.

Draw too much. Hold too much. Hope too much.
Nekusar is always hungry.

Exchange List:

Skullcage -- Bloodchief Ascension
Viseling -- Razorkin Needlehead
Iron Maiden -- Scrawling Crawler
Sturmgeist -- Fate Unraveler
Temporal Cascade -- Echo of Eons
Breathstealer’s Crypt -- Underworld Breach
Smoldering Marsh -- Haunted Ridge
Vivid Marsh -- Luxury Suite
Shocker -- Tainted Strike
Black Vise -- Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

    This is my list, looks like we've got a lot of overlap!  The Nekusar painwheel decks are pretty neat. 
    • Ryan Hallows | 21-Dec-2013 13:32
      Yes, I like Nekusar...however I would like it even better if I were able to play it. :) You guys sure you don't want to come to Virginia for Christmas?
      • Sean | 21-Dec-2013 13:56
        If only we could!  Maybe this summer?
        • Ryan Hallows | 21-Dec-2013 14:22
          That would be fun. We shall see how the job search goes. If we are still here (or closer to you guys) let's plan something for sure.
          • Sean | 21-Dec-2013 14:38
            Also, we got your card, thanks!  Ours are still on order at shutterfly (we procrastinated, they were slower than we expected). 


            Terrific name BTW, once you explained it.
