Niv-Mizzet Never Mizzes EDH

by ovoorbach on 25 November 2014

Main Deck (100 cards)

Sideboard (34 cards)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Always wanted to build a deck around Niv-mizzet.

With Niv-mizzet in play you want to draw as much as possible to do as much damage as possible.
For this deck I prefer hand cycling over straight draw.

Counterspells/Bounce to stall opponents long enough to bring out one of many possible Win cons..

Still trying to keep it within reasonable budget. So no Force of Will, etc

Sideboard is a Maybeboard

How to Play

Niv-mizzet + Curiosity, Ophidian Eye or Tandem Lookout = Win
In case you draw your whole library, Laboratory Maniac wins you the game Or Guile keeps your draw going until all opponents are gone.

Niv-Mizzet + Enter the Infinite = Win. With Dream Halls even more effective.

Miracle Cards can be put on top of library with Mystical Tutor, Brainstorm and especially Library of Leng.

Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon and Ruination for non-basic land hate. So keeping my own non-basic land number limited. Chromatic Lantern cancels out some of the non-basic land hate on me.

Psychosis Crawler is an alternative Niv-mizzet

This deck seems pretty awesome. I love that EDH is becoming popular on here. A card I would make room for is Epic Experiment.

hmmm, Epic Experiment is a great card, but i am not sure if it's effective enough in this deck.

Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Jace's Archivist, Desolate Lighthouse, Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius (technically 2 different creatures so legendary effect does not go) and Jushi Apprentice are good cards for the deck. All in all though this is a very strong deck anything suggested at this point is up for debate but do keep in mind that looting (draw and then immediately discarding) is actually very lethal in this deck and a good way to search for combo peaces.

Jin-Gitaxias is great. Almost win when it drops. Jace's Archivist and Desolate Lighthouse fit well. I put them in.

I suggest Negate, it is to specific without gaining a large bonus because of that detriment. Many combos come from creatures.

sounds like a plan... Hinder is a real beast in EDH...

+ Library of Leng
+ Windfall
- Blue Sun's Zenith
- Jin-Gitaxias

Hand Cycling is very powerful in this deck, Windfall will do much more damage(via Niv-Mizzet) then B.S.Z. and Library of Leng gives me the option to keep cards I discard.
Jin-Gitaxias is great but too expensive.
