Niv-Mizzet, Parun
$5.58
Legendary Creature — Dragon Wizard

Izzet spells and counters that draw off every instant or sorcery, ping for each card and combo with Curiosity.
Read more
Niv-Mizzet costs six and can't be countered. Whenever any player casts an instant or sorcery, you draw a card, and whenever you draw a card, he deals 1 damage to any target. So every spell at the table turns into a card and a ping. With Curiosity or Ophidian Eye on him, each ping draws another card, and that loop deals damage until your library runs out or the table is dead.
In the recorded games, most builds played as counterspell control and protected Niv-Mizzet with Fierce Guardianship, Force of Will and Misdirection. Curiosity was the main finish, and Tandem Lookout did the same job in one game. Windfall and other wheels drew lots of cards at once, and Thousand-Year Storm with Brass's Bounty made huge mana. Niv-Mizzet also cleared boards with Anger of the Gods and an overloaded Vandalblast. Red Elemental Blast and Reality Shift were common answers, and aggressive decks sometimes won before the dragon could take over.
