The Great Pact by NinJoe

Format: Commander

Commander: Niv-Mizzet Reborn

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Five-color legendary value deck built to maximize Niv-Mizzet Reborn's ETB. The deck intentionally keeps most non-ramp spells two-colored, so resolving Niv refills the hand with legendary creatures, planeswalkers, and interaction. Primary pressure comes from Jodah, the Unifier chaining legendary spells and Sisay, Weatherlight Captain tutoring the exact piece needed, with Aurelia adding extra combats. A secondary Maze's End + Scapeshift package offers a compact alternate win. The commander is the main draw engine, but the Gate line and several independent draw/tutor pieces let the deck function after Niv is answered.
