Battle of Wits!

[Jak]

From the Battle of Wits draft thread, it got me interested in putting one together to see how it looks and plays (MWS for me since the deck would be ridiculously expensive). I figured a community deck building thread built around the card would be fun to put together. I know Fakespam put one together a while back and played it in some tournaments so hopefully he can come in a help the deck out.

Rules for posting

1) Please, when recommending a card, include how many.

2) When recommending a card, include a reason for its inclusion. I will ignore all posts of just a card suggestion.

3) No lists. The purpose of this thread is to build the deck as a community. I am sure all of us could throw together a list of legacy staples.


I will update the opening post and keep the updated list on each page.

So....
