Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind EDH deck. It focuses on shuffling your hand into your library (Winds of Change, Whirlpool Warrior, etc.)/putting your hand on the bottom of your library (Teferi's Puzzle Box, Mindmoil, etc.) and drawing that many cards. I used to run Curiosity and the like, but it was just too boring to win that way.

Counterspells protect the combo/stop others' combos. There are better counterspells, which I hope to get.

Bounce spells mess up combat/stop combos when I don't have a counterspell. I have found them quite useful.

AEtherize, Evacuation, etc. protect me during combat since I don't have many big creatures.

Quite a bit of ramp because the commander cost 6 mana and the deck does basically nothing without him (except for Psychosis Crawler).

As Foretold lets me play things for free during my turn and play counterspells/other tempo spells for free during the opponent's turn.

Propaganda protects me early game (and late game), while Meishin, the Mind Cage 98% of the time makes combat damage impossible.

Glorious End is if I know I can win my next turn. It can skip an opponent's entire turn, and even get rid of "win" triggers and uncounterable bombs.

Tidal Force is quite useful. It can tap down an opponent's threat, untap mana for counterspells, untap Arcanis the Omnipotent, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, and others.

I've come to like Future Sight quite a bit. It acts like an extra card in hand and doesn't lower my hand size for Mindmoil/Arjun, the Shifting Flame.

I've been play-testing Venser's Journal to replace Library of Leng. I haven't found it that useful. The lifegain hasn't helped in any of the games. Library of Leng cost a lot less and helps with the few "discard and draw that many" effects in my deck.
