I build a deck with the Mystery Booster 2 Lutri, Pauper Otter (Playtest).
Currently, I'm trying to figure out:
-
New ways of circumventing Lutri's companion restriction that'll give me greater access to cards.
-
Streamlining the deck. I've tested it a bunch of times and usually, it ends up in a grindy 1 vs 1 with either Shark Typhoon/Murmuring Mystic as a token generator that will ultimately win the game by combat OR by pinging the opponent to death Guttersnipe etc. (Magmakin Artillerist+Tandem Lookout/Ophidian Eye is infinite at EOT if I've 8 or more cards in hand and a restricted hand size).
Any recommendations are highly appreciated, but pls keep Lutri's companion restriction in mind.

Even though he's got horsemanship (basically unblockable) you've already got Hermetic Study and Psionic Gift to give your commander a ping to fire off his ability. But I like to run things in 3's if I can. So you might try Viridian Longbow or Wolfhunter's Quiver (if.. for some reason your meta runs a lot of werewolves? lol).
Also Neko-Te or Sigil of Sleep might be an interesting include since you could get double value with control for your pings since you'll want to be doing that anyways but tapping down or returning a creature might be of more benefit in the moment than drawing a card.
Ophidian Eye might also be interesting to play with to see if you could get even more draw although I see you've already got Curiosity which is strictly better.

I feel like Curiosity combos pretty well with Nekusar, the Mindrazer or Ophidian Eye

It looks good. I would cut a few creatures, start by looking at the 6 CMC+ ones first. You probably want to get down to 15-18 creatures.
Add in 2-3 more mana rocks and cut a land. Should be able to run with 34-35 lands with a low mana curve and more rocks.
Get rid of Cancel. There are a million 3 cmc counterspells that are cancel+. I like Admiral's Order but any other counter will work. Spell Pierce can also be a bit of a dead card once you get to the mid-game or late game.
You have enough islands that High Tide would be good. Ophidian Eye is another curiosity combo win. Could consider Laboratory Maniac or labman effect to have another wincon. Then anything that cantrips or creates positive card advantage like Preordain or Frantic Search helps with any left over slots.

yeah i think i'm missing some card draw here too. tried to incorporate some with Abundant Growth and Brainstorm but i'd much prefer some more consistent draw. i had Snake Umbra in a previous version (which went heavy on totem armor), which at least gives a little more value than Ophidian Eye for the cost, but it felt like this deck wanted a lower mana curve and by the time i get a few turns past a three cost, Ancestral Mask should be a finisher. that said, what do you think about the benefit of the extra 1/1 on Snake Umbra vs the extra creature for forced sacrifice fodder on Tandem Lookout? What about a transmute effect like Dizzy Spell to find a one or two mana? Kinda flexible single card seek for later in the game.
That's a lot lol sorry

Ophidian Eye and Helm of the Ghastlord appear to be the only Pauper-legal Curiosity enchantment effects, but they're a little high mana value.
I might recommend Tandem Lookout maybe, or Entourage of Trest if you think the game will last long enough for you to play it.
Deliberate, Opt, and Consider are some standard card draw spells you could use.

I'm still amused that the Deck Editor thinks it is 2/3rds Casual.
As someone commented it is an fun deck. But like any EDH, you fiddle with to get better game play.
Ophidian Eye - infinite loop here.
I still like an idea of balance in a game, being hard but not being OTT.

Niv-Mizzet, Parun seems like a nice inclusion. For me Blistercoil Weird and Delver of Secrets Flip feels underwhelming in edh you can swap them for some more draw or since you like cipher even Triton Shorestalker and Mist-Cloaked Herald.
Since you asked for card draw suggestions the main staples are X spells like Blue Sun's Zenith,Pull from Tomorrow, 4 CMC type Fact or Fiction / Steam Augury or Behold the Multiverse stuff and cantrips like Brainstorm, Ponder etc. There are also wheels like Windfall. Have you checked Scryfall? Their search engine is rather easy to use.
I still haven't build my Niv deck but I plan to put in the transmute package to find me the three combo pieces
Dizzy Spell for Curiosity
Drift of Phantasms for Tandem Lookout or Ophidian Eye
Hope this helps. Cheers!
