Niv-Mizzet Reborn

Niv-Mizzet Reborn is a five-color value engine that rewards you for playing cards with specific color-pair identities. When it enters, you get to cherry-pick the best cards from your top ten that match each of the ten two-color pairs (Azorius, Dimir, Rakdos, Gruul, Selesnya, Orzhov, Izzet, Golgari, Boros, and Simic). This means you're essentially tutoring up to ten cards from your deck every time Niv-Mizzet hits the battlefield—an enormous advantage in card selection and velocity.

The deck wants to maximize the number of two-color cards so that every activation is powerful. You'll focus on mana-efficient creatures, removal, ramp, and utility spells that naturally fall into these color pairs. Cards like Reflective Goat, Drover of the Boatswamp, and Counterspell variants all contribute to different pairs while advancing your gameplan. Since Niv-Mizzet is a 6/6 flyer, commander damage is always lurking as a secondary win condition, but the real power is grinding out value and deploying threats from the hand advantage you generate.

This deck plays a midrange gameplan: build your mana base, replay Niv-Mizzet if it dies (it will), and generate so much card advantage that you simply overwhelm opponents with resources and a flying 6/6 in the air.
