Niv-mizzet deck is exactly as the title implies, gathering up knowledge and allies, the longer this deck stays out the stronger it gets. It has plenty of control aspects such as counters, bounces, boardwipes, and removal, coupled with a lot of draw power. Niv-mizzet can act as a draw engine and a beater, which according to my brother is all the deck does, the deck excels on a limited number of creatures and plenty of other utility cards that make it easy to adapt to whatever it is playing.

This deck has no natural infinite combos, something that is easily associated with the izzet colors, the only combo I have accidentally came across was an infinite turn combo requiring 3-4 pieces and A LOT of mana.
