Back when I first started with magic, the Izzet were my favorite guild, and thus Niv-Mizzet was a natural choice for my first EDH general.

What started as a $30 deck with random cards from my entire collection thrown together, has now been tuned into a sleek machine of death and destruction. From my original deck, not a single card remains.

It has gone through many transformations over time, to adapt with the style of my playgroup. What first started as a jank deck turned into a curiosity / ophidian eye combo deck, which then turned into a deck based on winning through wheel effects (Discard 7, draw 7, etc).

I have taken a few steps to avoid infinite combos in my deck, as I enjoy the challenge of playing without them, and don't find it particularely fun to win with 2 card combos. Rest assured that all the available infinite combos with Niv-Mizzet lie safely in one of my trading folders in case of a local tournament.

Typically the deck wins by ramping up quickly through artifacts, then flashing Niv-Mizzet with the Orrery or Leyline in play, allowing you a full turn to do nothing but play cards like Wheel of Fortune, the Whirlpool Creatures, Time Spiral etc.

Years later, the deck has now been fully foiled, every card that exists in a foil print has been added to the deck!

The general himself is the Champs Promo full art version.
