Niv-Mizzet, Parun
Leverage Niv-Mizzet's card draw and damage output by casting high volumes of low-cost instants and sorceries, utilizing cost-reducers and spell-copying effects for explosive wins.
Asked for“A $300 Niv-Mizzet, Parun commander deck — a spellslinger deck centered on instants and sorceries with prowess, cost reduction, and magecraft payoffs.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
