The Combos

Drift of Phantasms Is a great combo piece tutor for this deck.

Muddle the Mixture can generally find an answer for any major problem. Can be used to get board wipes and creature removal including things with x in their cost. Popular targets include:Starstorm, Cyclonic Rift, Curse of the Swine, Burn , Izzet Signet or just a better counter spell. ( Mana Drain , Negate, Counterspell.)

Mind Over Matter + Temple Bell

Mind Over Matter + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre (Makes the combo infinite damage with the graveyard shuffle ability)

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Ophidian Eye

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Curiosity

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Tandem Lookout (The last damage of the combo must kill Tandem Lookout because it is not a "may" ability.)

If you have Desolate Lighthouse or Cephalid Coliseum you can discard a big eldrazi for game winning extra damage in larger groups.

Consecrated Sphinx + Temple Bell (card draw for days son! More opponents more card draw. Throw the Untap ability of Ral Zarek and you just got out of hand.)

Personal Tutor or Mystical Tutor + Temporal Mastery = Time Walk. (Reverberate / Twincast / Reiterate / Fork makes others at the table a bunch of sad pandas.)

Future Sight + Sensei's Divining Top = Excellent Digging Ability. (Throw in either Helm of Awakening / Semblance Anvil (exile artifact) / Stone Calendar / Cloud Key or Etherium Sculptor to draw as many cards as you can handle.)If Niv isn't out to finish them with draw, work on getting an Omniscience out asap and win in creative funky fresh ways.
