Welcome to Nin, the Pain Artist.

The deck wins by drawing a ton of cards, tempoing out our opponents and slamming a creature whose power and toughness is equal to the millions of cards we have in our hand. We're running spells like Azami, Lady of Scrolls and Jace's Ingenuity to assure ourselves that our hand remains full.

This deck has tons of utility in the form of mana rocks, sweepers such as Cyclonic Rift and Blasphemous Act, Planeswalkers like Jace Beleren to go with our card-drawing theme, and creatures such as Darksteel Myr (who is a prime target for Nin's ability) and Burnished Hart (because double ramping on a 2/2 is insane). Vedalken Orrery because we're Izzet, and that means flash-nanigans.

Our creatures are hugely versatile, and mostly entirely wizards. Ertai, Wizard Adept is a reusable counter spell that rattlesnakes opponents away from our board. Sower of Temptation is a psuedo Vedalken Shackles on a stick. Talrand, Sky Summoner gives us bonus dudes for countering spells, which also double as prime targets for unloading Nin, the Pain Artist and drawing a full grip of cards.

Pet cards like Riptide Laboratory will keep our wizards protected and allow us to bounce Snapcaster Mage into another utility spell. Ral Zarek 's untap ability is insane with most of our deck: untapping Nin, the Pain Artist, Arcanis the Omnipotent, Mercurial Chemister , Ertai, Wizard Adept, Gilded Lotus, Mana Vault, Thran Dynamo, Fatestitcher or Sol Ring for endless value. The deck also sports a foil Italian Turn / Burn for style (because it's Commander!).

The obvious broken interaction in the deck can be found in the namesake of the deck: Enter the Infinite combined with Psychosis Crawler or Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind. Mystical Tutor helps us fetch this win condition in the event we need to end the game immediately, but my intentions are not to simply break the game every time. EDH is meant to be fun, yet sometimes you need an out!

With 99 cards and one hell of a general, I hope you're ready to Enter the Ninfinite.
