Thanks! I'll have to play around and test those out. I feel like it's weakness is in multiplayer. If an aggro deck gets going while I'm focusing on others I don't have any answers really

Try adding some shut down for multiplayer. Ensnaring Bridge is never a bad idea and Meekstone might buy you some time too. Also remember that you only need 21 cards drawn because it WILL be counted as commander damage!

hmmm that could work pretty well. Thank you.

Good stuff, good stuff. Perhaps Foil , free counterspells are always a solid choice. Also, mreguy, general damage is combat damage but that still should not be all that much of a problem once Niv gets a curiosity on him. +1

Heh, got enough counterspells there? Anyway, I think I'm going to steal some cards from this for my own UR deck's maybeboard, starting with the suggestion you gave me on it.

As for suggestions: A Howling Mine and/or Font of Mythos might do you some good (in addition to card draw, I'm told they're good cards for multiplayer politics), as would a Library of Leng and Spellbook to keep you from having to discard from all the card draw (use a Library if you must choose one over the other; otherwise go with both).

Thanks! I'll be making some tweaks this weekend and will try to fit some of those in there!

@Mreguy commander damage only applies to combat damage. Damage from commander's abilities do not count towards this.

"If a player has been dealt 21 points of combat damage by a particular Commander during the game, that player loses a game"

you could put Blue Sun's Zenith in instead of banefire if niv mizzet is out it just seems better

+1 for the name

hey bud u should take a look at my niv mizzet deck for some ideas. i feel like u need more card draw in your deck.
