It's pretty funny how Leyline of the Guildpact is both thematically perfect for Niv and helps you cast him easily but is a total non-bo because it completely hoses his ability.
This looks like one of the most complicated decks to build, but I'm not surprised you excelled! These videos are the reason I've been a subscriber for years
Based on the guy's follow up plays I highly doubt that was a GG indicating the opponent thinks he won. It was more a reaction to his hollowed haunting being removed and the opponent being annoyed because his hand was garbage. He was still a bit of a pleb but I don't see on what planet youd call GG in that position with that hand and board state.
Feel the same as the commenter above me. OP knew at that point they lost, but may as well finish out the game to get quests done/let you get quests done. I’ve done the same, but I just now realized how it looks to people who don’t know what I’m doing.
This build looks sweet. I was trying out a more controlling version with battles and enchantments, as they are permanents that can stick to the board before playing Niv. Basically the goal is to keep the board clear, then use a solved Case of the Shattered Pact and Invigorating Hot Springs to make Niv attack twice in a single turn with haste and deal tons of damage. The only other creature in the deck is Ertai, so with just two creatures and the setup I've mentioned it's possible to kill your opponent in a single attack step (unless they were playing lifegain). I'm still experimenting with finding the right battles and mana base, but when the deck does its thing it's super satisfying.
8:07 : I'm a tad sad you choose not to use "buried in the garden" on "Jetmir's garden". It was a bitmore risky yes, but come on, the flavor would have been so on point ! Anyway, incredible content right there, keep it up you amazing person !
26:22 your brew, your tactics, and your knowledge of the meta all comes together at this beautiful decision. An awkward game that you guided and matured into victory.
Thank you for the idea for rainbowed niv mizzet. Ill try to bring this in a LGS by converting it into BO3. I might put an aurelia somewhere in between.
i play a historic version of it with the 3 rainbow Nivs , all the charms and the best 2 mana 2 colored legend creatures. Its hilarious if you add Ravnica Battle , and the Guildpact artifacts
Not sure I am going to try to play this one (although I do already have two copies of Niv and most of the other cards in the deck, so who knows) but I do have to say I realliy enjoyed this video. This is one of those types of cards where there's not a big reason to even play it, but you made an enjoyable deck out of it. Thanks! You should try making a Niv-Mizzet, Supreme deck. Its hexproof from mono-colored is far more useful and it also got huge buffs thanks to all of the 2 colored instants and sorceries in this set. A Jeskai deck built around it that utilizes Lightning Helix, No More Lies, & Ill-Timed Explosion could actually be pretty potent.
Just log in every day and grind out three wins and complete the daily quest. I paid $0 in and have hundreds of mythic and rare wildcards on two accounts.
I like how you put a question mark in the thumbnail cause technically this deck doesn't contain every guild so it's more accurate to leave a question mark there
Not sure exactly, but maybe doing something would multi-colored tokens might help. We have things like green and white detectives, red and blue elementals, etc that might pump the count easier than real permanents?
That's a good point, going through all the options I could see Courier's Briefcase being worth it as another early ramp card. We already have quite a few Selesnya cards, so not sure if it's worth it. Quintorius still seems too slow, so it doesn't solve our Boros problem.
It's an option, but it feels a little clunky when Rivaz can't ramp into it. We already have quite a few 5-drops as is, so it's either Humans or Dragons for the top end. Jodah is the easier card to build around with Cavern and Courtyard for additional fixing. Did a deck with him before MKM released.
21:14 u so lucky he didn’t just fire off the Field of Ruin😂 Lesson learned, always fire off the turn 3 field of ruin instead of letting the mana go to waste.

The earlier Niv Mizzet animations made me fall in love with the guy.
Dude hit the battlefield like a boss. ❤
Back when they actually bothered to make animations for arena 🥲
Yea... Now they just upload the decks on arena with no animations, no bundles to get more cards and still no storymode...@@Harry94074
@@Harry94074 They stopped doing them b/c ppl complained about them.
Pretty sad they no longer see the value in the animations that made Arena cool at the start 🥲
@Bl4ckDr4co bc magic players are miserable 😂

That all colors clause, tragic
💯 They should have added a clause that didn't count him. I was so sad when I realised they didn't fit together.
14:53 truly was a glorious turn. An utter deluge of value, Niv himself would approve.
wow. really took a lotta brewing id imagine for this one. you keep on impressing me man. really sweet deck.
Wow, i honestly can't believe this deck works. You are a genius
This looks like one of the most complicated decks to build, but I'm not surprised you excelled! These videos are the reason I've been a subscriber for years
Would love to see a Standard deck with Niv Mizzet Supreme! Making use of lightning helix etc. Great video as always
Hexproof from Monocolored is certainly more relevant, so could be pretty decent!
@@LegenVD looking forward to it! ;)
Never thought he would work in standard
Jury is still out 😅
And then Legend came. He takes every "useless" card and shows you can build a deck with it. Noice.
It’s legend. Dude could win with 60 mountains
Bet he’s a fun commander too
So cool to see Niv work a bit. The Sarkhan/Rivaz shenanigans were hilarious. Thanks for sharing this one, really enjoyed watching it.
Beating people who throw early GGs at you is so satisfying
It makes me feel just as good as chump-blocking the 20/20 with no trample
Based on the guy's follow up plays I highly doubt that was a GG indicating the opponent thinks he won.

I don't think it was an aggressive GG. More like 'you Got me Good'
I’ll throw out GGs when I know I know I’ve lost but want to finish out the game. I don’t see the issue as it’s exactly what it looked like to me.
We appreciate the attention to detail in having the third match be with Thirdguy
Your decks are amazing!
I love how unique and off-meta your decks are. Always entertaining videos!

Still living up to your name through technically not conceding at 20:01. I love it
This Niv-Mizzet is my favourite brawl deck atm, feel validated that we have used many of the same legends
Excellent video as always Luca! Always look forward to your uploads! ❤
I’ve been wanting to see a deck with the newest Niv and this deck is sweet.
5 COLOR BS, I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I was wondering if the new Niv was gonna get some love haha appreciate you Luca!!! 😊

I was thinking he'd do it and have some pun, would have added a lot of value
At least the pun quote at the end was hilarious

Yeah, definitely have one planned!
Poor boros 💔 always love your brews, your videos are so much fun!
Poor Boros, the best color pair in standard right now, lol
Wish I had the cards to be so free to play this game. At least we can see you play these cool decks.
Just log in every day and grind out three wins and complete the daily quest. I paid $0 in and have hundreds of mythic and rare wildcards on two accounts.
With all the legendaries I think Gold-Forged Thopteryx would be the ideal Azorious card for the deck.
Yes, could definitely see the advantage over Dennick!
Fun deck :)

What a cool, interesting deck! I wonder what this would look like in commander.
Man getting back in Arena is hard. The fact they expended standard makes it painful.
Only 6 uncommon in this deck, 52 rares and 2 mythic. Next.

Why wasn't jodah the unifier used in this deck lvd? What was the thought of not adding him?
not dying to mono r with a full grip of 5 drops is my guess

I feel like you owe someone a ‘Nice’ when they hit you with the 5 colour Niv pile for lethal, it’s just polite.
Would djeru and hazorat have a place in this deck? They fit the guild color and the deck has a ton of legendaries.
It’s an option, although we have a bunch of 5-drops already and Rivaz doesn’t ramp into it unlike our other Dragons.
21:14 u so lucky he didn’t just fire off the Field of Ruin😂
Lesson learned, always fire off the turn 3 field of ruin instead of letting the mana go to waste.
I wonder how good a Voltron deck of Niv Miszzet would be, for historic
I've been trying to make this deck but couldn't get it right. Let me try this?
this deck would be so fun if sunfall and mono red didnt exist, like 90% of the decks people try to make now
You've got all those legendries, but no Hajar to protect them?!
The Gruul slot was already quite full, otherwise I would’ve included it!
wouldn't Melira be a solid pick for this deck too?
Possibly, although I did not since we already had lots of Selesnya cards.
Elkingdeking logged on today with the intention of NOT losing to monored.
Not bad for a budget deck.
😂
👍
Any reason not to throw Jodah in here for extra value? Is two 5C cards just not viable?

Nivvy Mizzy the Wizzy Lizzy
Bit of a shame Niv's power mostly comes not from his weird abilities, but from being a 6/6 flyer
niv mizzet - sounds like a sneez, suprises you like one.
All these cards will be out of standard before I get enough rares for this deck. 😭 Lol
Guild domain
LEYLINE THO. WHY NOT IN THE DECK
It's a nonbo with Niv-Mizzet since everything becomes multicolor and no longer a two-color pair.
Loses to a single field of ruin tho
crafted this deck and i have yet to win a game, deck is trash and you should not spend money crafting this!
I tried to warn you 😬
Best of one is so dumb
Worst deck i have ever played
the new Niv is clearly a design flaw. Way too much effort for a payoff in my opinion (Having different color pairs)
My first sealed event of the new set and I got two of them :( No way to make them work
His older desigsn were so much better, give us izzet Niv, not this multi colored mediocrity
This is the worst deck i played . It doesn t fit in current standart
legenvd could you make avaible the thumbnail for download? Would really love this as my wallpaper. Ty as always
I'll post it on my Patreon!
