Much Abrew: Battle of Wits (Modern, Magic Online)

by SaffronOlive // Jul 1, 2019

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. Last week, we didn't have Instant Deck Techs because of Core Set 2020 preview season, but the good news is we have a super-spicy list to play this week: 269-Card Battle of Wits! Somehow, someone managed to go 6-2 with the deck during last week's Modern challenge on Magic Online, which was good enough for 11th place but missing the Top 8 on tiebreakers. Since the deck is basically five decks mashed together, it's really hard to break down the plan other than to say if we can find a Battle of Wits and get it on the battlefield, we should win on our next upkeep. The challenge is that with 269 cards, it's not all that likely that we will draw Battle of Wits in any specific game, so we've got some random backup combos as well. Is it really possible that playing 269 cards is a good strategy in our current Modern format? Let's get to the video and find out; then, we can talk more about the deck!
