  1. 2018-03-16 · wotc — If dealing 1 damage to a permanent or player causes you to draw a card, perhaps because Niv-Mizzet is enchanted by Curiosity, you'll continue this loop until the loop is interrupted, perhaps by a player losing the game.
  2. 2018-03-16 · wotc — If a spell or ability causes you to draw multiple cards, Niv-Mizzet's ability triggers that many times.
