Continuing on with the conflicting bi-colored combinations, we now have Red and Blue, also known as Izzet. Now a very common mechanic in red and blue colored cards is the draw burning, meaning that you deal damage to a player every time you draw a card. The legendary creature that works perfectly with this is none other than Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind.
Niv-Mizzet is one of the best creatures out there. He was ranked the best dragon card, and that is saying a lot seeing all of the amazing dragons there are out there. Now Niv-Mizzet is just a 4/4 flying for 6 mana, which is about your normal dragon power and toughness and casting cost. What makes Niv so good is that his first ability states "Whenever you draw a card, Niv-Mizzet deals 1 damage to target creature or player." Notice how it says that Niv-Mizzet deals damage, not you deal damage. That's right, you can deal commander damage with Niv-Mizzet without having to attack. But that is not all, Niv-Mizzet's second ability is the kicker. If you tap him, you draw a card. First off, anything that allows you to just draw a card is awesome. Secondly, that is another 1 damage right there. So with Niv-Mizzet, you have yourself a draw engine and a constant source of commander damage. I think he suits a commander's needs pretty well.
The best thing to carry in this deck would be drawing and draw hating. Something like Psychosis Crawler would work well. And as for draw, definitely put Minds Aglow into the deck. It is a great way to draw a lot of cards and dish out copious amounts of damage.
You can buy Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind and any other card that works with his deck for a low price at http://www.mtgfanatic.com/!
