It's cute but, if you have the cash to get 2x Jace: TMS, you should play a more mainstream deck. I love Niv-Mizzet, but I think there are stronger UR plays in the format currently. If you want to stick with the wizard dragon, maybe make a Modern Runeflare Trap deck?

Niv makes me draw, not the opponent. Runeflare wouldn't work.
I'm doing this as a "for fun" experiment. Even though there are clearly better options, I'd like to make this as good as possible. If I wanted raw power, I'd run UB Faeries or some blade deck, for instance.
I first tried this:
3x Gelectrode
3x Wall of Frost
3x Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
Spells
4x Curiosity
4x Ponder
2x Preordain
3x Cryptic Command
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Volcanic Fallout
4x Mana Leak
2x Jace Beleren
1x Jace, the Mind Sculptor
4x Scalding Tarn
4x Steam Vents
4x Cascade Bluffs
6x Island
5x Mountain
4x Spell Pierce
1x Volcanic Fallout
3x Basilisk Collar
2x Pithing Needle
3x Tormod's Crypt
2x Electrolyze
I've since changed it to:
3x Gelectrode
3x Wee Dragonauts
3x Wall of Frost
3x Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
Spells
4x Curiosity
4x Ponder
3x Cryptic Command
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Mana Leak
4x Rune Snag
2x Jace Beleren
2x Jace, the Mind Sculptor
4x Scalding Tarn
4x Steam Vents
4x Cascade Bluffs
6x Island
4x Mountain
4x Spell Pierce
3x Volcanic Fallout
3x Ingot Chewer
2x Pithing Needle
3x Tormod's Crypt
Wall of Frost can be changed for Plumeveil, but I'm undecided on which is better right now. I like Frost more except it'll lose to Caw.
Other burning questions are: add Jhoira of the Ghitu? Add Chalice of the Void? Also, what's some good enchant removal?
Really, I'll just take whatever suggestions I can.
