Deck Description

This is the deck I use in my local Commander League, I only use cards available in foil, as it is literally 100% foil at the moment. My Niv is the top 4 champs promo XD
Looking for some suggestions to make it more consistent.

Well you don't really need Jace, Architect of Thought. It's not really that beneficial towards the goal of this deck. You could also profit by adding in some protection for Niv Mizzet in the form of Spellskite, Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, Champion's Helm, alexi's cloak, or something. Since you are likely going to have a large hand, forbid might be a good choice for the buyback. If you want to increase your chances of having no maximum hand size, Venser's Journal, Spellbook, or Library of Leng would help. Glen Elendra Archmage is also another great card you could add in to achieve a bit more control.

Cheers, I guess you're right about Jace, I'm just a big fan of Jace, the only reason JTMS isn't on here is because I don't have a foil one yet haha.
I might put my greaves back in :)

You're missing Tandem Lookout as a third combo piece. Riptide Shapeshifter would be able to tutor it into play naming scout at instant speed. It could also tutor up several others like Jin for added control.

Flusterstorm, Wasteland, Desertion, and Capsize are not from foiled sets... Judge foils?

You definitely need a way to protect your general like Lightning Greaves.

Insurrection is just a good stuff inclusion that is completely off theme, you can easily cut that.

Yeah, Flusterstorm and Wasteland are judge foils, Desertion from Commanders Arsenal, and Capsize a promo for something, just not sure where from.

Hadn't seen Riptide Shapeshifter yet, seems kind of cool, and I just hadn't found a spot for Lookout yet but I might do so if I throw Riptide in.

I usually only play Niv when I plan on winning, and have either counter magic up or notice everyone else is tapped out, so Lightning Greaves usually does nothing I've found, I may trial it again though.

I plan on building a deck around this idea. You should take architect of thought out and add Ral.
