Title: Insane draw combo
Post by: Birdbrain on November 20, 2013, 06:35:56 PM
{swans of bryn argol} + {niv mizzet, the firemind} = draw until you choose to stop

Seems reasonable.

But don't you have to tap him or wait till a draw to do this? Wouldn't you only gain three cards?

tap niv-mizzet, target the other creature with his triggered damage ability, the damage is prevented and you draw a card. Niv-mizzets damage ability is triggered again. Target the swan, and you draw a card. Niv-mizzets ability is triggered again. Target the swan and you draw a card. Target the swan again, draw a card. Target the swan again, draw a card

The swan prevents all damage done to it, so you can do this for as long as you have cards in your library

{curiosity} {ophidian eyes} {tandem lookout} all accomplish this as well

{tandem lookout} forces the draw but other 2 allow you to choose
