Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"The main premise of this deck is DRAW. I've added as much as I could without limiting the deck in harmful ways. There isn't much burn here, mainly trying to use counterspells as our removal. There are a few hard removal options such as Pongify and Rapid Hybridization, but spot removal options are limited in the deck. \n\nThe primary focus is to get either Niv-Mizzet onto the field and then cycle through the library for any 1 of 3 infinite draw combos (Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, or Tandem Lookout) with Niv. After that it's all about drawing as much as possible to take out our opponents, or point the damage at creatures as removal. There is no infinite hand size cards here, mainly because I've found it better to discard down to seven and recycle the grave to reapeat Niv infinites as much as possible. Elixir is probably the best option here, but there are a couple other options just in case. \n\nThe deck is built as control until we can combo off. Triskadekaphile and Laboratory Maniac are alternate win conditions, as well as the infamous Thassa's Oracle. \n"}]}
