Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind is a card-draw engine that punishes opponents every time you draw. Your core gameplan is to untap Niv repeatedly, tap him to draw cards, and ping away at opponents or blockers. Once established, he becomes a self-sustaining damage machine—each card you draw triggers his damage ability, so you're essentially turning draw spells into direct damage.

Build around maximizing card draw through cheap instants and sorceries, especially ones that draw multiple cards or let you draw at instant speed for surprise damage. Include untap effects like Curiosity (turns him into a true engine) and effects that trigger on card draw to multiply value. You're aiming to chip away at opponents gradually while drawing your deck and improving your board position simultaneously.
