Title: Battle of wits strategy
Post by: Birdbrain on December 27, 2012, 05:42:17 PM
Have {izzet guildmage} and {training grounds out} play {mana morphose} and duplicated till you have 55 mana in your mana pool half {G} and half {U}. Play {research/development} and duplicate it till you have 200 cards in your library. Then play {battle of wits}

Uhhhh, why are you playing Battle of Wits without 200 cards in your deck?

Because. You can get what you need with a smaller deck. And research allows you to bring cards from outside the game into your deck. Also, it's a unexpected surprise, since you start out with a smaller deck. Make your opponent go.."what the ****?!!?"

Technically, you only need the first three since {mana morphose} let's you draw cards...an unlimited discard trigger and {reminisce} might also might need to be in the deck so you can get up to the needed 55 mana
