So there you have it. Island/Mountain numbers will change once I play it more. Scalding Tarn will probably pop in at some point as well. Any comments on it are welcome, meant to be a fun, casual, but not a pushover, deck for multiplayer.

Add in Curiosity; it's another Ophidian Eye for Niv-Mizzet.
The only other advice I can give is that you have a lot of cards that are one-shot effects and then done. In this format you want your cards to have more longevity.
I'm also confused on what your win con is; other than the Niv and O Eye combo.
Tolaria West is great if you need to search up anything with 0cc like lands so you can assemble your tron engine better.
You might want to stay away from auto-win combos like Curiosity or Ophidian Eye with Niv or you'll be accused of being unfun to play against. Mystical Teachings can grab ophidian eye for you if you want the combo.
Mind over Matter + one of the El Drazi Titans (Kozilek is the least harmful, just in case it gets stolen) will let you infinitely run through your deck with Niz to damage everyone lethally, assuming you're at a multi-player table.

"I think EDH would be more fun for the majority of participants if players just showed eachother their decks rather than actually playing games out."
Yeah, once I had it posted, I was going through it and realized I really only had 1 win condition (well, 2 if you count Chance Encounter, but I'd need to play it, and then still be able to get 10 flips for me).
I was trying to stay away from what happens with every other EDH deck with blue in it that I make, which is 2-card win conditions. Sort of ironic, as now that's the only real one I have
And yes, I do have too many one-shot effects. I'll lay it all out here soon and see what I can add in to recycle more.
Thanks for the comments so far, I'll update the list sometime later today.

You might want to stay away from auto-win combos like Curiosity or Ophidian Eye with Niv or you'll be accused of being unfun to play against. Mystical Teachings can grab ophidian eye for you if you want the combo.
I highly suggest Crucible of Worlds" target="blank">Crucible of Worlds, Academy Ruins and Vesuva with all the land destruction you could run into and fun things these cards can do for you.
Cast Through Time and/or Izzet Guldmage can really be awesome if you have it out and lets say Time Warp or any card draw spell.
Mnemonic Wall and nucklavee also help recycle cards.
All is dust is kind of an auto-include. You might even want more sweepers like volcanic Fallout, Pyroclasm etc because you are very creature light. Even Comet Storm, Fireball, cone of flame, etc. are great. chain lightning is awesome and so is lightning bolt.
Trinket Mage can get out your spell bombs or Relic of progenitus, sensei's divining top etc.
If you want to be really multiplayer friendly toss in a Standstill and everyone will love you (except the guy who pops it).
Cryptic command is another great versatile card for you.
Thada Adel, Acquisitor can steal you a ton of good stuff and so can bribery.
Spellbound Dragon - I always look for a home for him because I like him so I'll suggest him even though he is sub-par.
gelectrode and electrolyze are both awesome too.
Eldrazi-wise it couldn't hurt to toss in any of them especially if you have the tron set up. Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn are great win cards.

Edit: Going to pick up the following to find a place for in the deck. I really like the luck sub-theme going on.
Frenetic Efreet
Krark's Thumb
Squee's Revenge
Crooked Scales
In other news, I took out Chromatic Sphere and Star. Added Mnemonic Wallp and Spellbound Dragon.Edits in first post.
