Niv-mizzet EDH ideas?

[Kaalia with haste]

I used to have a deck built around this guy when I was pretty new to magic and EDH and took it apart because it didn't do anything I wanted it to. How would you build this guy? My main idea would be dig spells and counterspells to control the board and win later.

Auto include the {Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind} {Cusiosity} combo. Fun way to both live and die.
