Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind + Illusory Ambusher

Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

Illusory Ambusher

How it works

1. Give Illusory Ambusher indestructible by any method.
2. Draw a card by any method.
3. Niv-Mizzet triggers, dealing 1 damage to Illusory Ambusher.
4. Illusory Ambusher triggers, causing you to draw a card.
5. Repeat from step 3.

This clever loop turns damage into an endless chain of card stock and firepower, anchored by Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and Illusory Ambusher. Once the Ambusher is safely granted indestructible, it serves as a willing punching bag that responds to every single point of damage by feeding your hand. Niv-Mizzet's triggered ability provides the initial spark, pinging the Ambusher to trigger a card draw, which in turn untaps or retriggers Niv-Mizzet's fiery wrath. Because the Ambusher shrugs off the lethal damage, this feedback loop sustains itself indefinitely, letting you riddle any target with near-infinite damage while drawing your entire library.
