Niv-Mizzet, Ghost Counsel
Niv-Mizzet, Ghost Counsel Commander Deck
The deck revolves around converting life gain into card draw by repeatedly triggering Niv-Mizzet's ability to pay life equal to the amount gained, creating a self-sustaining engine that trades life totals for hand advantage. The commander's tap ability drains each opponent for 1 life while gaining 1 life, which immediately fuels a draw-and-pay cycle, so the deck prioritizes ways to untap Niv-Mizzet and multiply its activations. Win conditions center on either decking opponents through attrition and card advantage or assembling life gain triggers in large bursts to draw into a lethal combination of drain effects.
