"He has no patience for minds that do not inspire him, or explode trying."

Izzet EDH with none other than the guildmaster and founder himself at the helm, Niv-Mizzet, Parun

I love this color combo, and the deck performs very well in a 1v1 or multiplayer setting. Able to hold its own farely well.

Major combos are; Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, Parun good ole infinite draw combo. This also works with Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and/or Ophidian Eye as all of them are interchangeable with each other IE the creature for the other or the enchant with the other. Niv-Mizzet, Parun + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind plus either Ophidian Eye or Curiosity two damage for every one draw? Yes please! Works also to kill two people at once!

Synergies include; Beacon of Tomorrows let's you net a bunch of extra turns (infinitely if you draw back into the beacon, hehehe.) Tack on Melek, Izzet Paragon and copy everything!

Other than these, a few things to note. Firstly, there is no card to allow for a maximum hand size. This is because discarding ends up feeding more draw than keeping things in hand, and refreshing the deck with Elixir of Immortality . Secondly, mana rocks allow for faster access to the commander, as soon as turn 4 (so I've done) maybe earlier. Lastly, protection for the commander (or the Firemind) is counterspells and burn spells, basically meaning that you really only target a player when you can go lethal with draw. Also remember, you can stop the infinite draw combo by targeting a creature instead of a player, saving you from decking, allowing you to reset your library and set up for lethal again.

After all of this, I hope you enjoy the deck! It's still in development, but I hope soon it'll be more than perfect!
