Teferi's Puzzle Box and Howling Mine work well in a Niv-Mizzet deck, especially if you run Cerebral Vortex

I like the idea, but I'm not too sure Faith's Reword works the way you want it to. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the permanents Faith's Reword returns all enter at the same time, so I don't think you'll get to draw off Soul of the Harvest.
You need some cheaper mana ramp (eg Llanowar Elves) and maybe some way to cheat the dragons in (eg Quicksilver Amulet or Elvish Piper).
You going to want to bump Full Moon's Rise up to 4x. Ratchet Bomb will kill your transformed Werewolves. I know I have all 3 my Ratchet Bombs in all my sideboards just because of flipped cards and tokens.
Thanks man, now just to hunt down / order the cards I'm missing :|
Marrow-Gnawer could be used too, it gives Fear to all the rats :p
Paradox Haze can give you more upkeeps and that'll allow you to put more than one thing on Panoptic Mirror and still have "infinite" turns (the mirror can have more than 1 card imprinted and you chose one spell to copy per upkeep you have).
Do you not like Modern? I've been enjoying it lately (my group only plays it once a month). I think it mite be because most (99.9%) of my collection is 8th Ed onwards :p How many fetches do you think? I'm thinking max 4, because more mite be unbalanced.
This was designed before Smelt existed. Also, if I where to make this, I'd include Phyrexian Metamorph as another Artifact copying card.
What lands would you use (keep in mind I want this Modern legal) ? I'm thinking maybe Verdant Catacombs for deck thinning, but can't think of much else.
Being dual colour, Birds of Paradise would work better than Llanowar Elves, though $ birds and 2 elves mite work well here. As for the lands, I sugest looking into fetch lands (Zendikar's Verdant Catacombs, Scalding Tarn, Misty Rainforest and Arid Mesa) and dual lands that the fetches can search for (Ravnica's Stomping Ground). You caould also use one of my favourite dual lands - Fire-Lit Thicket. taking a quick look at your creatures abilities, you'll want more mana ramp for them.
Thanks for taking a look. I can't belive I forgot Gravepact 0.0 I'd like to keep the Hunter, but I'm OK with moving him to sideboard. Earwig is just a big creaure without the prowl, so I won't be adding him. Any other ideas?
Crusader of Odric in place of Geist-Honored Monk. I think the monk costs too much mana. Also have you thought of working in Rally the Peasants?
Thoughtpicker Witch is another nice sac outlet. Bloodghast and Nether Traitor are nice for recursion.
Oona's Blackguard's last ability could be a replacement for Larceny, only problem it getting +1/+1 counters on your other creatures. One idea is Ring of Xathrid, but that's a little time consuming...
Interesting build. I wouldn't mind seeing what you'd use in your sideboard.
Glad to help :) I think you missed Hymn to Tourach, it's not legal. Here's a few ideas: Horrifying Revelation, I like this card and I think it's underrated. Psychic Miasma is interesting, it has a possibility of returning to your hand to be played again :) Despise, Duress and Inquisition of Kozilek all cost 1, but the choice depends on what your group plays a lot of.
You can't regen from a sac affect
Sorry, my mind is on Modern. Those two are still banned in Extended. Needle Specter, Abyssal Specter, Larceny, Death Denied, Jester's Cap and Eradicate are also banned in Extended. Megrim, Hypnotic Specter, Scepter of Fugue and Coat of Arms are legal, but are phasing out of Extended on 5 October 2012.
Liliana's Caress is a better option than Megrim, it costs {1} less :) Hymn to Tourach and Dark Ritual are not Modern Legal. You can check what is and is not legal for any format here: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=judge/resources/banned
