Ok, first of all (Levi BTW) here’s what to cut:

Elixir of immortality (irrelevant)
Archivist (overpriced)
Myojin of Seeing Winds (overpriced)
Stoic rebuttal (replace with forbid, it’s way better)
Chrystal ball (this is just a suggestion, i prefer Mystic Speculation because if you draw it late game you can use it more than once a turn, unlike the ball)

Here’s what I would consider adding:

Seat of the Synod (if you have a tezzeret in a deck, you have to have one of these. just replace an island)
Izzet Boilerworks (cut an island for it)
Cerebral Vortex (fun to cast alongside Prosperity or the like)
Clout of the Dominus
Freed From the Real
Archmage Ascension
Rite of Replication (multi purpose battlefield control/mad draw power/general removal)
Bribery (belongs in every blue edh, period)
Ivory Tower
Braingeyser
Lightning Greaves
Scroll Rack
Vicious Shadows (maybe, it’s a little pricy)

Hope this helped

What about Venser's Journal? I know you have Reliquary Tower, but Journal would be nice as well.

Thank you for the advice on my EDH deck by they way. I have another one involving Skithiryx I thought up if you would like to look at that.

I think that Paradox Haze would work quite well with some of the cards in this deck, and Forced Fruition would help in milling your opp. out, and High Tide for some mana accel.
And Donate is always good for some shenanigans, for example donating Mindmoil to your opp. or donating Forced Fruition to your opp. then you'll be drawing like mad and it would only take a few spells to kill your opp. with general damage; i have a Mindmoil deck that has some parallels to this, if you wnt to check it out, and if you would take a look at my EDH deck, that would be great

I would say to look into the Mirrodin swords. Specifically Fire and Ice. Allows you to deal a little extra damage, and more importantly, draw a card upon dealing damage. Works well with your commander, and is simply a fun card overall! After that would I would say find a spot of Sword of Feast and Famine. And lastly, Sword of Light and Shadow.. very broken for EDH in general

And of course, I would say drop Beleren, and otp for Jace 2.0, he would give you a significant advantage. Yeah he's expensive, but he's also extremely good. Find a way to get one and throw him in. But I don't think I needed to tell you this.

The reason I din not add any swords to begin with is because this deck isn't centered around attacking, and I did not know what to take out. Most if not all of the cards in here will work to my advantage, and I have ended up drawing 8 cards whenever my opponent draws 2. As for uncle Jace, there is no way in hell that I can afford him, and no possibility of me getting it in a trade from anybody. It is just completely beyond me and my tiny budget. Thanks for the advice anyways.

EDH is a special format, and one that I like the best. Typically played in multiplayer, EDH is meant to be fun and rather slowish. the rules are as follows.
1. 100 cards in the deck, which is 99 plus the general
2. The deck needs a general ( a general is a legendary creature. IN EDH the general is the most important part of the deck and has special rules. At the start of the game the general is set aside in a zone called the commander zone. From this zone the general can be played at anytime by paying its mana cost.)
3. The deck can not contain any card that is a color or has a mana symbol anywhere on it that is a color that is not on your general. (for example, in a deck with NIv Mizzet as the general it is illegal to have a card in the deck with green, black or white anywhere on it.)
4. If the general would be exiled or put into a graveyard its owner may choose to put it back in the commander zone instead. If he/she/it does the next time they play the general it costs 2 colorless more for each time it has been put back into the commander zone.
5. games start with players possesing 40 life
6. Games start with players drawing 7 cards, with partial paris mulligan (to lazy to explain that)
7. The person who goes first still draws on the first turn
8. If a player is dealt a collectve 21 damage from one general that player loses the game.
I think that pretty much clears it up, if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask.

Protip: Has to be 21 combat damage from the general to kill them, not effect damage. Nice try.

I was just about to post that... you beat me to it! Niv Mizzit can still kill in one turn. My friend has done 126 damage in one go with the bitch, killing everyone... it was insane.

I knew it was 21, I just didn't feel like fixing it. But if that rule is true then I have to change my plan of attack. Either way, I still pretty much just win as long as I can get Mind Over Matter and Kozilek.

Why do people never add "Curiosity" to Niv-Mizzet decks o.O To overpowered or something?

I had it in here once upon a time, but I soon realized that their is no glory in instant win combos. It is also more fun if I can win without it.

What about Intruder Alarm? For every creature who enters play, Niv nets you a card and a point of damage since he untaps. Seems good, right? Now imagine that with Arcanis in play too :D

Funny story. Once upon a time I played EDH with some guy who was using Lady of scrools as his general, and he plays intruder alarm. This was kind of awesome because I preceded to kick everybody's ass abusing my opponents card. It is something I considered, but I decided that their are not enough creatures in this deck to put it to real use.

You should check out some of the new-coming cards for the commander decks...Nin, the Pain Artist combo'd with Niv should be epic.

I would, But I would have to deal damage to one of my own creatures. Thats something I dont fell like doing. There is another card I saw that was kind of ridiculous, Minds Aglow, that I might add. Besides, I am going to the commander event this weekend, and the one Im getting has nin in it, so I might decide later after I run it a bit.

I would put charisma in over cards like treachery, really brutal card with Niv Mizzet. Awesome deck though.
Please comment on my Niv Mizzet deck.

Steel hellkite is good, but he has nothing to do with the theme of the deck, and I wouldn't know what to take out for him.

Soul Barrier is a pretty cool card that can hinder your opponent and/or change the battle I'm just not sure what you would take out for it. Taking out Gitaxian Probe and putting in Telepathy might be helpful.
Noble Benefactor is also really useful, but it can be very helpful to your opponent as well.

Hey I'm working on a Niv Mizz firemind commander of my own right now and I was looking through your deck and it's really awesome... I def like the declaration of naught it's awesome. But I was curious in my Niv Mizz I have mostly all draw card sorcery and instants and you have very few. Do you draw enough cards with the enchantments?
