You should try out Arcanis the Omnipotent, you can draw your deck with him and Mind over matter. And then when you do draw out your deck with that combo, Niv/curiosity, etc you can cast inner fire and some fireball type spell.

[fusionshogun]

Does Arcanis, the Omnipotent seem redundant? I didn't mention this before, but the deck is designed for one versus one play. Arcanis seems a little slow to me, but I can try him out. What would you suggest I cut from the list to run him? Inner Fire into Fireball/X burn spell seems unnecessary because if I've drawn my library, then I've probably already killed my opponent.

I would run Hall of the Bandit Lord and Minamo, School and Waters' Edge.

I'd always be afraid to run out Niv without way to win the game on the spot. Hall is like lightning greaves, in that you'll get value out of Niv no matter what, and can combo off the turn you play him.

Minamo untaps your general. I think that makes it almost strictly better than an island when your general draws you cards.

[fusionshogun]

Thanks for the suggestions! I can't believe I forgot those cards. I'll replace two Islands with each of those lands.
