Does Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind combo actually work?

Asked by Splinterdmytwin 10 years ago

I have been reeding the text on curiosity and it says specificaly combat damage.

So does this work?

You misread Curiosity. It says "Whenever enchanted creature deals damage to an opponent, you may draw a card." I haven't seen any edition with the the combat part at all. If you have a physical card that says "combat damage" I would like to see a picture. Gatherer has the exact wording I quoted.

Curiosity does not specifically say combat damage - it works on every damage dealt by the creature. You might have a print or translation of it that reads combat damage, but the Gatherer specifications are what counts in any case.

That being said, this combo works - you will draw cards and deal damage interchangingly until you mill yourself, or you manage to kill all opponents (or anything else happens).
