Nekusar, the Mindrazer

Legendary Creature — Zombie Wizard

Oracle text

At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player draws an additional card.

Whenever an opponent draws a card, Nekusar deals 1 damage to that player.

His enemies wondered if the lich king's brutal death and unnatural rebirth had been his plan all along.

If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," it doesn't count as drawing cards and it doesn't cause Nekusar's second ability to trigger.
