Still a bit new to MTG but from the limited time I've played this deck, it seems a bit slow? Any ideas? If there are cards from newer sets like LOTR or Phyrexia that can improve the viability of the deck, pls let me know. Thank you! 🫡
#Need upgrade suggestions for Niv Mizzet, Parun

hi hi
definitely reduce your spell mana cost
niv mizzet is both card advantage and a great source of damage, so you want to play many cards at a time
cards like [[strike it rich]] and [[snap]] are essentialy free
since niv requires alot of colored mana treasures are amazing, [[mines of moria]] and [[spiteful banditry]] will help you aquired them
finaly looking for creatures that helps your instant casting or commander triggers will help alot [[harmonic prodigy]] makes you draw 2 card dans deal 4 damage whenever casting instant or sorcery
ohhh which ones do you recommend replacing from my deck?
Already got the [[curiosity]] combo I see. You chose violence and I respect it 
[[Storm-Kiln Artist]] is an absolute house in my izzet deck. Would recommend
oooo that's pretty helpful, do you think Lier is still viable for this deck?
I put it in since I got it from a draft booster XD
Also maybe reducing basic lands would work?
I mean Liers all upside unless you plan on running a lot of counterspells. Would personally not go lower with lands. I usually use EDHrec average as a minimum for what I should run. Cutting lands is usually a trap
mmmmm I see
Niv-Mizzet was also the first deck I built myself! I'll link mine but it has come a long way now and is very high powered but maybe it'll give you ideas on what to add. I took a stax/control route with mine until I assemble the combo. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/-zCYM1EEsk6XZ5kgg3ZUHQ
Ohhh thank you so much! Wdym by stax?
Do you think that [[The Reality Chip]] is good for the deck?
Legendary Artifact Creature — Equipment Jellyfish
You may look at the top card of your library any time.
As long as The Reality Chip is attached to a creature, you may play lands and cast spells from the top of your library.
Reconfigure 
(
: Attach to target creature you control; or unattach from a creature. Reconfigure only as a sorcery. While attached, this isn't a creature.)
0/4
someone also suggested this in another server
[[Fiery Inscription]] [[Torbran, Thane of Red Fell]] [[Ghyrson Starn]]
Multiple cards match “Torbran”, can you be more specific?
Legendary Creature — Tyranid Human
Ward
(Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays
.)
Three Autostubs — Whenever another source you control deals exactly 1 damage to a permanent or player, Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph deals 2 damage to that permanent or player.
3/2
[[Torbran, Thane of Red Fell]]
Well you need to decide if you want to be a combo deck with curiosity or a spell slinger deck. I would suggest go all in on combo because there are better izzet spell slinger commanders. If you do go combo its a high powered deck by nature because if you resolve curiosity you just win on the spot.
hmmm, I could probably just use the suggested cards to upgrade, which ones do you think are pretty slow/useless from my deck?
Lier, forgotten creation, psychosis crawler, archetype of imagination, rivers rebuke, sleep, swarm intelligence, clout of dominance, arcane melee, jaces sanctum
Insidious will
Also I don't think torbran fits in the deck really. No point in doing more damage if you already are going infinite
A good way to look at deck building is you have a goal and then ask yourself the question about each card how it helps me accomplish that goal. So for example in niv your goal is to combo off with curiosity, now think about what each card does and how it helps you accomplish that goal.
Ahhh I see
Got it. Thanks for that 😁
It just gets daunting with the amount of cards
, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.")
(You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)
