Does this combo work?

Asked by ChrisNicolella 5 years ago

I play a Niv-Mizzet, Parun deck and wanted to make it competitive. I read about this loop from this decklist but I don't think it works: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/niv-mizzet-parun-control-cedh/

So Kozilek, Butcher of Truth 's triggered ability would resolve and then you'd have a full library, but would you regain priority after this to cast one of the free spells in your hand?

Below I copy and pasted the loop he describes. Let me know if this is a legitimate

Kozilek gives us a looping mechanism for NMP card draw/damage. There are 2 particularly useful ones: Manaless Loop This loop is not shortcuttable, but is very useful if you're low on mana, other players are low enough on life where you don't have to go infinite, or certain pieces have been exiled. 1. With Curiosity effect on Niv, draw cards until you get Snapback/Submerge/Git Probe/Mogg Salvage and Kozilek and at least 1 card left in library. 2. Move to cleanup step and discard down to maximize handsize dropping Kozilek and keeping the free spell. Kozilek's trigger will force new End Step 3. Cast the free spell causing the Niv to trigger, looping through the deck. 4. Repeat. If you don't have enough targets for Submerge/Snapback, counter it each time with a Pact or Force of Will

Yes it is in the rules. During clean up players only get priority to cast spells or activate abilities in certain situations. The main one being an ability being triggered during clean up. This will cause there to be another clean up. Rinse / repeat.
