In max power games life totals have often been very chipped away by swinging from dorks or partners to get Tymna draws and lifegain isn't a viable option for cedh. Usually having 70+ cards in the deck is enough. However there are a few options if your opponents aren't able to be killed by those pings.

1. Combo with Niv, leaving some number of cards left in the deck, then cast Glint-Horn and move to cleanup with 60+ cards in hand. This will deal 40+ to everyone plus whatever you already dealt.
2. Combo with Niv and kill the 2 players in the strongest positions. Leave 15+ish cards left in your library. Play all your mana rocks, keep a handful of counterspells/interaction. Go into beatdown and just win via commander damage or regular damage
3. Combo with Niv and evenly distribute damage. Get down to a few cards in deck and use Dockside and bounce spells to repeatedly bounce him and get a bunch of treasures. Cast a Rolling Earthquake large enough to kill them but not you.

Because there are already good options available, Oracle/Jace/Labman are wasted slots. You already should have won the game with the cards that exist in the deck. Those cards are mostly dead cards if you aren't comboing off. Some people opt for other options like Winds of Change, Scroll Rack, and Eldrazi Titan, or Timetwister which can help you deal more damage. Winds of Change in particular is only 1 mana, more useable than Oracle/Jace/Labman, and will double the amount of damage you can do.

Oh so you go through charity and ping with glint horn. Thanks for the tips. I am just getting into edh as a new format, and I am definitely looking into this deck.

I am running timetwist for a few matchups though.

I mean i's your choice, but I dont know any 2or mroe-colored cEDH deck which is/should running as much basic lands as Niv does... It's really difficult to cast Niv Mizzest fast and because of that, I choosed to slow all my enemys down with: Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon, Back to Basics, Cursed Totem and Trinisphere, because those cards are fitting in no better deck...

New Cards I can recommend:

• Keep Safe to protect Niv
• Fierce Guardianship/Deflecting Swat
• I would cut Sleight of Hand/Impulse for Decoy Gambit

As some newb: Why isnt Intuition played?

What are your thoughts on:

• Sarkhan, Fireblood (ramp for niv, then pivot into looting)
• Sakashima / Spark Double (damage^2, could win off the grind)
• Valakut Awakening (potential for big damage, worst case it's a land)

Hello.

I play this deck, and have for some time. I frequently check your updates and I really appreciate you doing that.

I want to know if you'll be making any adjustments for hullbreacher and jeweled lotus? I can see lotus being strictly better ramp than lannery O'Connor, and I didn't much care for steal enchantment in my meta. Seems like it would be a nice slot for the hullbreacher.

What are your thoughts? Will you be testing these cards?

Thanks!

I've made significant changes with the release of commander legends, but currently only keep my moxfield lists up to date. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/HmRJ5ju54USIf9UVsl5kwQ

So, instead of Trinket Mage, why don't you slot in Muddle the Mixture for that 2cmc search.

I'd suggest Library of Leng for the self milling issue that might happen

What do you think aboud Resculpt for pongify? It one mana more but you also can exil artifacts
