Weird Science (Niv-Mizzet Parun Control cEDH; Episode 12)

from Tryhard Academy · host Tryhard Academy Podcast

Welcome in to a new episode of the Tryhard Academy Podcast.  In this episode, Cole will be taking the reins predominantly to discuss Niv-Mizzet, Parun; both as a creature, and as a Curiosity-oriented control deck formulated for the cEDH gamespace.  While this deck may look like a throwback on the surface (to old school decks involving Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind), don't let the name fool you. This draw-go control style of build has more than one way to "skin a cat", and is fairly resilient to many different types of commonly occurring stax pieces. When it comes to explosive bouts of Weird Science, few can do it better than Niv-Mizzet himself. Don't forget your safety glasses for this one. =========================================================  DISCLAIMER: All audio/video footage appears courtesy of the respective authors and proprietors under the Creative Commons License.
