When I saw this, I almost decided to not buy any M13. I hate this card with a passion. Not worth new art, not worth reprint, not worth playing. At all. Why? Why on earth would they.... Have they ever played against someone with a 200+ deck? It's so annoying and time consuming and WORTHLESS!
I guess you could say it passes the Titan test? If you untap with it, you win!
So I guess all the nonbelievers now need to apologize to the one poster who spoiled this and Rewind.
Strange times we live in.
I too am a little bleh that they reprinted this. Last time it was legal, people mostly got to abuse the card with transmute+tutor effects, but whatever.
i don't know what to think of battle of wits without anyway to actually find it in standard...unless we splash black for their decent tutors in standard...Well if you play this type of deck and loose to mill(non infinite combo if there is one sure there is) you should probably go cry.

Elixer of Immortality will be legal until RTR, so that can bring your graveyard back to your library just fine. You can tutor it out with Trinket Mage too. Still though...out of 200+ cards...hahaha

Actually, if memory recalls, just after survival was banned, some one T8'd a decent size event with an Aggro BotW deck. It was basically good stuff if the battle plan failed.
Then there is always the casual Spawnsire+ 200 Eldrazi gods+ Battle of Wits idea I saw once.
I'm loving this...I'm just putting the finishing touches on my legacy battle of wits deck and this is....well it's going to be terrible in standard unless RTR is loaded with tutors and maybe a wish reprint...
But OMG I love this card with full on Johnny passion

Doubtful. Biorhythm doesn't fit in the crunch.

Of wits was actually viable the last time it was legal. We had a lot of tutor effects during that time. I dont see it being viable now tho.
