It's an interesting card. I'm glad though that I play mostly on MTGO, so shuffling huge decks ain't a problem. :)

Hilarious choice for a reprint; good to see that Wizards hasn't lost their sense of humor.

If we get any tutors in RtR, I could see this thing being taken to a tournament or two.

I can't wait to see someone lug a huge deck in just so I can sideboard in Nevermore.

Played this in a draft. My opponent stared at me.

And that's when I played Omniscience! :D

And that's when I lost all my friends! :D

Casting Battle of Wits in Standard: 5 blue mana.
Casting Omniscience in Standard: 10 blue mana.
Casting 200+ spells for FREE off of 4x Boundless Realms fairly ramping your Demonic Revelation?? Priceless.

EDIT: I drafted a foil one of this. After going in thinking I was going to build a nice Red-Green creature beats deck for two and a half packs, I got passed a Battle of Wits and I cursed because I knew how the night was going to end. I resigned myself to the inevitable.

I picked the best cards I could for my 40 from what I had (got no rares I could really use actually so the deck I was about to run wasn't very good anyway- that's what makes this story a little better, lol)

And I set aside 200 Islands and my two Battle of Wits (somebody later told me they passed me the foil one over Ajani, Caller of the Pride. I wasn't going to be winnin... (see all)

@timmyforever Okay, let me get this straight. When a card is balanced and capable of still being good in a game, you rate it 0.5 because it isn't broken. When someone builds a deck around this using powerful (not to mention highly expensive) tutors to win, you rate it 0.5 because it'll make you lose once in a while. Why don't you stop being a dick and rate cards based on the fact that they're good, not on the fact that you may lose to them or or just below your standards. You'd probably rate Black Lotus 0.5 because it dies to Smelt.
