Body of Knowledge

Creature — Avatar

This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in your hand.

You have no maximum hand size.

Whenever this is dealt damage, draw that many cards.

What kind of combo are you looking for?

Lock combos (something like Teferi's Puzzle Box + Notion Thief or Arcane Laboratory + Knowledge Pool) are pretty close to Stax and tend to lead to saltiness, but are as control-combo as you can get.

Instant win combos (Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank or Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond, for example) end the game fast, but need to be supported a little more, especially if the pieces don't do much by themselves.

"Open-ended" non-infinite combos (Rona, Tolarian Obliterator  Flip + Pestilence + Body of Knowledge) are the least salt-inducing, as long as you can finish them in a reasonable time, but they might not close out the game.

As long as you start with more than one card in your hand (otherwise the first time Body of Knowledge is pinged, it will die before the card is drawn) and you do not play too many cards that turn (lest Body of Knowledge's toughness becomes equal to or less than the damage marked against it), it will work. From a practical standpoint, you'll need to track the damage in case it becomes relevant.

If Niv-Mizzet, Parun pings Body of Knowledge for 1 damage, you may draw a card which in activates Niv-Mizzet's ability again, allowing you to draw cards as many times as you ping Body of Knowledge for damage. However, Body of Knowledges' toughness depends on the number of cards in your hand. So the question is: When Body of Knowledges' toughness increases by 1 from taking damage from Niv-Mizzet and drawing a card, does this also increase the amount of damage needed to destroy it by 1? In other words, can this combo be used to draw as many cards cards as I want?

You can use double brackets like this:

[[Niv-Mizzet, Parun]]

To link to cards so everyone knows what you're talking about. For example: Niv-Mizzet, Parun, Body of Knowledge.

This deck is really well built good job

You have several small fry that is good early in the game (ie. Simian spirt guide, Spellseeker , Trinket Mage ) but later in the game might not be so good. Have you considered adding Mystic Reflection so later in the game you can have several Consecrated Sphinx and Jace's Archivist . That would be great because your tokens would also enter as copies of those creatures

With all of the small tokens you're creating maybe add Impact Tremors and/or Purphoros, God of the Forge

Also if you for a wheel sub-theme you may want to add cards such as Wheel of Misfortune , Magus of the Wheel , Tolarian Winds , and Forgotten Creation .

For card draw Rhystic Study , Bident of Thassa , and Curiosity Crafter

with all of this card draw maybe Thought Vessel , Reliquary Tower , Spellbook , and Venser's Journal

Annnnnndddd some more great cards are Chasm Skulker , Body of Knowledge , Enter the infinte, The Magic Mirror and Finale of Revelation

BTW thanks for the upvote

cvarena21989 - thanks. Need to update list, but I did add curiosity. First week was fun. Killed 2 guys in same round, and killed the last guy the next turn. If found a response by using mana to draw cards, but it was too high cmc (Mana value) to cast, so I removed his blockers and killed him with Body of Knowledge and Psychosis Crawler with 20 cards in hand.

cards like Tishana, Voice of Thunder or Body of Knowledge can help give no hand limit and take advantage of the huge hand.
