Yeah, niv mizzet is kinda on the expensive side, I would consider any cards below $2 budget, as this deck is not going to see competitive gameplay, only playing this with my freinds. unless it has a really big impact on my gameplay(eg wincon) wouldn't really look for cards that are too expensive. sorry for the late reply
