Overview

This Deck is Mostly Focused Around Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and his ability to deal 1 damage to someone whenever you draw a card. As a result, This deck draws a lot of cards, using cards like Thought Reflection, Ophidian Eye, Blue Sun's Zenith, and Arcanis the Omnipotent. The Deck is also heavy on Burn and Control Spells, to help Keep Niv-Mizzet alive and keep drawing to deal damage.

Combos

Some Cards combo very well, with one Infinite Combo in the deck.

Blue Sun's Zenith + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Thought Reflection : This Combo can double the amount of card's you draw off of Blue Sun's Zenith, Thus, Doubling the amount of Damage Niv-Mizzet does

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Ophidian Eye : This Infinite Combo exploits Niv-Mizzet's ability to tap and draw a card, if he is enchanted with Ophidian Eye, he will draw a card, do damage, then, since he did damage, you will draw another card, causing an infinite loop of triggers.

Cards I've been Thinking of Adding

This Deck is a constant Work-In-Progress (as with most of my decks) and therefore, there are several cards that may fit better in the deck than others some examples of cards you could add will be listed below

Jace Beleren: Jace is good for this deck because of his ability to draw a card, he also can serve as a Mill Win-condition if you get to ultimate him later.

Consecrated Sphinx: Consecrated Sphinx would be amazing in this deck, as he allows you to draw two cards whenever an opponent draws one, so if you have a playgroup of 5 or 6 people, you could be drawing 10-12 cards per turn cycle, and dealing that much damage to something if Niv-Mizzet is out.

Jace, Memory Adept: This Jace is good if you want more of a Mill Strategy as a backup, as his ) and +1 abilities mill a lot of cards, but if you can ultimate him while Niv-Mizzet is on the field, you can easily deal half someone's life-total in one hit.

Jace, the Mind Sculptor: Jace, The Mind Sculptor can be included for a little bit more control of what your opponents are doing, as well as stacking your draws.

Curiosity: Curiousity is a Cheaper Ophidian eye, so it helps if the Eye gets blown up, and also just adds a second "Copy" of it, so chances of getting it are a little better
