This is my Izzet control take on the main man. It doesn't use one card combos, Curiosity/Ophidian's Eye/ETC, but it instead uses mass card draw and deathtouch equipment to combo with Niv. I use it for more casual game when I want to play tight control games. It wins by grinding people out with pings for a frustrating, fun time.
