Saved commander deck
Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius
This deck focuses on the Magecraft and Spellslinger theme, using cantrips and low-cost spells to generate value and tokens without needing the commander.
Prompt: Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius {2}{U}{U}{R} as the commander of a blue red deck. I want the deck to have plenty of draw and have a nice easy early game. Able to play a land or mana every turn to get niv out on turn 6 consistantly. I dont want the deck to depend on Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius in any way. I want the deck to be built around a specific mechanic or theme that gives its own type of card advantage in some manner.
