This is designed to be a flavorful, casual deck that's fun to play with and against. The deck utilizes a number of deathtouch-granting artifacts to turn Niv-Mizzet and other pinging creatures into efficient sources of removal. Flavor-wise, the deck's win conditions are mostly dragons, and plays a high number of wizards and Izzet-flavored cards. I've tried to minimize Commander staples in order to encourage more unique games. The deck plays fair for the most part, with only a few combos--Hellkite Charger+Sword of Feast and Famine as well as Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind+Tandem Lookout are the only card combinations that will kill someone instantly. There's a lot of room for tweaking, but the deck in playtesting has been deceptively powerful, if a little inconsistent.
