Draw card decks are hilariously fun, but I have a question for you.

How do you plan to win with this deck?

I assume you do, especially since I can see you have curiosity/ophidian eye and Niv which works well. aeon chronicler and sturmgeist can be good beaters, but I have no clue how you can succeed if Nin is your commander.

Do you only want to kill your opponent by you, and only you, drawing cards?

Words of War and Words of Wind are enchantments that can help with that. Spiraling embers hits folks for the number of cards in your hand. Inner Fire is similar but nets you red mana instead of damage, good for something like comet storm.

Is milling your opponents an alternate condition? Or combat maybe?

If it is might I suggest a few more Group Hug type cards, like Temple Bell, Font of Mythos, and Forced Fruition. They have good synergy with Tiblat's middle ability, which is a copy of Sudden Impact, and the inverse to Spiraling Embers.

His last ability is Insurrection, which might be worth putting in the deck too. The blue version of it is called Reins of Power, which might also be worth a spot, and if you like where this theme is going you can throw in a Dominus of Fealty.

I have a red/blue/black deck with a similar theme if you would like some more ideas.

Your deck is the first I've ever seen to have a Grafdigger's Cage. I never looked at it closely before, but this card is completely amazing in EDH. It screws over so much graveyard shenanigans and it is cheep. Please do not take that card out, you won't regret it.

In all honesty i havnt thought about how i would win with nin as commander. I just figured i would end up decking them, and using a couple of artifacts to cycle my graveyard back through. Or just draw until i hit niv and pull and infinite combo with him. I appreciate the input, consider some of the cards that you listed up here about decking an opponent. Instead of Temple Bell though im going to be running Howling Mine.

Temple Bell and the Mine are functionally the same. I consider the one mana difference in Temple Bell's cost worth the ability to get the card right away and control when to trigger it. Just a preference thing really.
