![]() Your best bet is lands that fix blue and red mana and colored mana rocks. Your mana base and fixing come strictly from artifacts and lands. You’re not playing green, so no mana dorks. It’s a win condition combined with the pings. That said, each Niv attack deals five damage, and winning a game via dragon attack is as old as MTG itself. It’s important to mention that Niv-Mizzet, Parun’s pings don’t count as commander damage. Decking can be a problem, and these can help avoid it. There’s a high probability that you’ll need to draw more cards than you have to kill your opponents, and that’s where Elixir of Immortality, Commit // Memory, and Witness the Future come in. ![]() These are auras that draw you infinite cards and deal infinite damage if Niv is wearing one of them. ![]() The main win conditions are Curiosity and Ophidian Eye. Talrand, Sky Summoner and Archmage Emeritus give you better rewards for casting spells, like drawing cards and making a 2/2.Įxalted Flamer of Tzeentch retrieves an instant or sorcery for you each turn while also pinging on spells cast. Young Pyromancer and Guttersnipe damage each opponent which is nice, and you have the new Third Path Iconoclast to add more redundancy. Proactive is when you play a creature and a cheap spell to get a benefit, and reactive is when you protect your already established board with a counterspell to reap more benefits. You want to play cheap creatures that give small benefits when you’re casting cheap spells since this is a spellslinger deck. It can be cast with flash, and each turn makes your spells cheaper. The new Mindsplice Apparatus from All Will Be One works wonders here. Storm-Kiln Artist makes you Treasures, which helps cover the cost of later spells. Haughty Djinn is also a beater, so it helps your strategy twice. Haughty Djinn and Baral, Chief of Compliance work in the same axis. Here you have cost reduction in instants and sorceries you want to cast. The protection part here is more important than the haste, but it doesn’t hurt to have both. Let’s add protection equipment in the form of Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves. The original Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind adds redundancy to the “draw a card, ping you,” and it can draw a card itself. Harmonic Prodigy was made for this deck since your commander is a wizard itself, and there are other wizards/shamans in the list. One of them is Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, which says that if a source deals exactly one damage it deals two more to the same target, effectively amplifying Niv’s pinging abilities. There’s loads of Izzet and legendary creatures related to the theme since the spellslinger theme is very popular, and those help to up your commander’s power. When things go south you can play sweepers like Starstorm and Blasphemous Act. Rapid Hybridization and Pongify are good interactive spells to have.Ībrade is an all-star in the format because it deals with mana rocks, expensive artifacts, and small creatures/commanders.Īetherize is a fun card to have to protect yourself.īlink of an Eye and Into the Roil are ways to interact on the board and also draw a card. You want cheap counterspells to protect your commander and your board.Ĭards like Negate, Counterspell, Swan Song, Dispel, and Ionize are all fair game.Īrcane Denial is nice because it gives you a card.Įxamples of more expensive counterspells are Dismiss, Rewind, and Dissolve. ![]() Red gives you Thrill of Possibility and Faithless Looting.įrantic Search is technically free if you have the mana to pay for it, and it’s great synergy with your commander. Let’s also add Gitaxian Probe, Ponder, and Preordain since that’s what you want to be doing to draw more cards and interact with your commander and spellslinger cards. You want cheap instants and sorceries to keep drawing more cards, pinging your opponents, and activating more synergies with your spellslinger creatures.īrainstorm is a very nice card overall, and it’s even better for you because it acts as a cantrip and draws you three cards, pinging players or creatures in the process. The “cannot be countered” text avoids paying lots of mana only to have your commander countered. It’s guaranteed to resolve, and you get a card back even if someone casts a removal spell or wrath on your commander. It helps to keep tiny commanders off the board, or you’ll kill a hate bear like Thalia, Guardian of Thraben for free.Īnother nice thing is that the commander itself can’t be countered. The pinging is nice, but it’s not the main feature. After all, green players cast sorceries fetching lands, red players play burn spells, and black players cast their edicts and the like. The best thing about this commander is the sheer amount of card draw that you get just by having Niv around. Each time you draw a card, you ping a target. Niv-Mizzet, Parun is a commander that draws you cards every time any player casts an instant or sorcery spell.
