I decided to make an EDH deck a couple of weeks ago because a few of my friends were starting to make and play decks. I chose Niv-Mizzet as my general because he is one of my favorite multiverse characters, and because Blue is my favorite combo and I find its interaction with red very interesting. In my playgroup we have Sliver Overlord, Szadek, Lord of Secrets, Momir Vig, and two others I can't quite remember .
This is a combo Niv deck, our playgroup is ok with this. I know some playgroups may not be, and that's why I have tested it without the combos and I have found that it is still very potent. I was looking for some suggestions for the deck from you guys. The general idea is to use a lot of hand cycling, draw and control to eventually win the game ether with Niv/Crawler damage or with a big beater(AEtherling, Steel Hellkite, Jin-gitaxias ect...).
I have about 55% of the deck irl. Looking to get the rest through trading,
tip money, ect...
That scepter is pretty awesome, could you copy ancestral vision to draw three every turn? windfall is another nice card too. I know about the knowledge pool combo, that's a bit too much of a dick move. We don't mind combos, but that keeps people from doing anything, which isn't fun.
Yeah, our group has banned out palinchron because its get too degenerate.
Another card like that is Erayo. She's extremely political and extremely easy to flip in your deck.
As for the scepter, slap counterspell on it turn 2 and laugh your ass off for the rest of the game as you just made a 30 minute game a 4 hour long game.
edit: Scepter is specific to instants. But the amount of utility it gives you out of counter magic, cantrips and tutors is just stupid.
Another suggestion from playing blue is/are Vedalken Orrery and Leyline of Anticipation. Flash is OP in any deck, ever, and getting Leyline in an opening hand is an instant keep.
