Commander: Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind combo/control deck built around two interlocking win conditions. The primary line is the classic Niv-Mizzet + Curiosity infinite-damage loop: every card drawn pings for 1, and Curiosity turns each ping to an opponent into another draw, killing the table. The secondary line is a coin-flip package - Krark's Thumb, Frenetic Efreet, and Chance Encounter - that can generate ten luck counters in a single turn and win the game outright, with Goblin Bomb as a slower backup. The deck supports these with a heavy draw suite (Arcanis the Omnipotent, Future Sight, Windfall, Fact or Fiction) and a six-tutor package (Mystical Tutor, Merchant Scroll, Gamble, Fabricate, Long-Term Plans, Planar Portal). A chaos subtheme (Confusion in the Ranks, Grip of Chaos, Thieves' Auction, Mindslaver) disrupts opponents and buys time. This is a classic "draw your deck, ping everyone" engine with a chaotic, unpredictable edge.
