Niv them right in the mizzit by Ovaughn

Format: Commander

Commander: Niv-Mizzet, Parun

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a spellslinger tempo/combo deck helmed by Niv-Mizzet, Parun. The primary game plan is to deploy the commander, then use a dense suite of cheap instants and sorceries to trigger its draw-and-ping ability, eventually assembling the Curiosity combo to deal infinite damage to all opponents. The deck also supports a secondary storm plan through Ral, Crackling Wit's emblem or Thousand-Year Storm, and can generate overwhelming value through copy effects like Teach by Example and Shaun, Father of Synths. The deck is built around high card velocity and stack interaction, using a mix of cantrips, wheels, and repeatable draw engines to maintain pressure while disrupting opponents.
