So is this "super smart" dragon just a scrub compared

>>51091367
Compared to oldwalkers yeah, compared to neowalkers he can probably hold his own. He ran like a bitch from the nephilim back in the original ravnica novels, so he's not actually that strong in direct combat.

>>51091367
Nope. He's probably able to crush the majority of ordinary planeswalkers, being an extremely powerful and intelligent dragon and wizard.

He's just bound to Ravnica.

>>51091367
He's mostly just a Mary Sue for nerds who liken themselves intelligent.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, I just wanted to say

Dragons with all sorts of frills and find and stuff are a god tier design aesthetic for a dragon. Niv Mizzet is a pimp-ass baller who is most fly and super fresh.

All it takes is a small bit of Curiosity and he'll kill anything and everything

>dies to removal

He's a chump. Any planeswalker who can throw around two mana can kill him.

Well, if you read the stories, Jace is terrified of him

And Ral Zarek is actively working to stop Niv discovering the existence of planeswalkers, because he believes he'd be a bigger threat than Bolas at that stage.

He's the head of the red blue guild of instants and sorceries. I think it's a safe bet he has counter spell.

Ral knows that the moment Niv finds out plane walkers exist, he won't rest until the secrets of planar travel are cracked. Ravnica would become an extremely unsafe place for walkers to be. Dissections, dissections everywhere.

Oh okay, I was reading the wiki and it made it sound like Niv as getting punked by Jaz and Ral without knowing it.
