Format: Commander

Commander: Niv-Mizzet, Parun

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Izzet control-combo deck uses Niv-Mizzet, Parun as a draw engine, removal piece, and primary combo outlet. The main plan pairs Niv with Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, or Tandem Lookout to create an infinite draw and damage loop that wins on the stack. Glint-Horn Buccaneer with the same auras provides a faster, commander-free win and acts as the hidden commander. Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal makes infinite mana and infinite Niv triggers when Niv is on the battlefield. Vivi Ornitier, Ragavan, and Gilded Drake add pressure while a dense suite of free counters and bounce protects the combos.
