Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2018-03-16
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.
- 2018-03-16
If a spell or ability causes you to draw multiple cards, Niv-Mizzet's ability triggers that many times.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
