Infect Niv deck

For my primary dragon combo I want to get "Morophon, the Boundless" out on the field as fast as possible via "Tiamat" or preferably "Defense of the Heart". If I'm able to play "Defense of the Heart" (turn 4 the earliest) I'll be able to pull "Morophon, the Boundless" and "Jodah, Archmage Eternal" from my library onto the battlefield for free. If these two are on the field I'm able to instantly play "Tiamat" on the same turn for free as well as the 5 dragons I tutor for. Preferably my Niv combo which are: - "The Ur-Dragon" - "Niv-Mizzet, Parun" - "Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind" - "Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" and normally I'd tutor for - "Morophon, the Boundless" but since "Morophon, the Boundless" is already on the field my 5th dragon would be - "Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund". Since all dragons can be played for free while "Morophon, the Boundless" and "Jodah, Archmage Eternal" are on the field. I would play "Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" first which is important so any dragons played after him will have a token copy created. Followed by "Niv-Mizzet, Parun", "Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind", "The Ur-Dragon" and "Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund" (any order) Now all my dragons have haste due to "Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund" putting me at a total of 12 dragons on the field. If I don't have "Jodah, Archmage Eternal" or "Fist of Suns" out on the field with "Morophon, the Boundless" I would play "Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" for 3 mana and with 4 mana leftover (since "Tiamat" cmc is 7 I should have at least 7 mana the following turn to play "Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" and "The Ur-Dragon") I'll play "The Ur-Dragon" after, this way I get a token copy of "The Ur-Dragon" and with "Tiamat" and/or "Morophon, the Boundless" attacking (since they were played the previous turn they won't have summoning sickness) I'll be able to put 2 permanents from my hand which will be "Niv-Mizzet, Parun" and "Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind" onto the field. With "The Ur-Dragon" static ability of "whenever a dragon attacks, draw a card for each attacking dragon" I will now draw 12 cards before any of my attacks resolve which will trigger 2 of my dragons "Niv-Mizzet, Parun" and 2 "Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind" allowing me to deal 4 damage for each card drawn which will equal to 48 damage (If attacking with all 12 dragons. 7 dragons and 5 token copy dragons) just by drawing cards. This is before any blockers are assigned to my attacking creatures.

My 2nd dragon combo would be my Skithiryx combo. In order to do this I would tutor for: - "Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" - "Morophon, the Boundless" - "Atarka, World Render" - "Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon" - "Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund" The objective of this combo is to play "Morophon, the Boundless", then play "Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" followed by "Atarka, World Render", "Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon" and "Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund". "Morophon, the Boundless" will give +1 to all other dragons. "Atarka, World Render" will provide all dragons double strike while "Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund" will allow my dragons to have haste. "Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon" will now be a 5/5 infect with double strike. Downside to this is once I've eliminated 1 opponent, I now become the target for removal spells and board wipes.

I also have "Dragon Tempest" to add damage to the free dragon casting combo. With "Dragon Tempest" on the field I will now deal 1 damage every time a dragon enters my side of the battlefield which could potentially add up to 78 damage (if all 7 dragons are played on the same turn) on the same turn of playing 5 dragons with "Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm" to get the token copy dragons.

Another win condition I included in my deck is playing "Exsanguinate" while "Bloodletter of Aclazotz" (which also synergizes well with my Niv combo as well as my "Dragon Tempest" combo) is on the field. I wanted to have another means to victory just in case my dragons keep getting board wiped. But my dragons don't really need to stay on the field for more than 1 or 2 turns. Especially if they're getting haste with "Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund" then they could potentially deal enough damage to all 3 opponents at once.

I've included cards to help reduce the cost of dragons and help with ramp. As well as free cmc spells and cheap counter spells to help protect my dragons. I also have some cards with cascade ability to help play creatures for free, that way I'm not just playing 1 card per turn. Best case scenario I could potentially win at the earliest by the 4th turn.

And if I'm not able to pull off my Niv combo I've also included "Triumph of the Hordes" and "Blightsteel Colossus" as my 2 trump cards. If I can give "trample" "infect" to whatever dragons I have leftover hopefully its enough to tip the scale after getting hit with every removal spell/board wipe. And if for some reason I can't manage to get any Dragons out, I'm hoping that I'll be able to play "Blightsteel Colossus" either for free with "Omniscience" preferably or at a lower cmc with "Jodah, Archmage Eternal" or "Fist of Suns".
