A friend challenged me to build a deck with which I win via Battle of Wits. This is my first shot at it.

My idea was to have my deck filled up with lots of possible ways, to search cards. In all my playtests I had Battle of Wits on my hand until turn 5.

My problem so far was, that I need to last at least until turn 5 to play Battle of Wits. I tried to give it a shot with Dark Ritual, but would be glad for any suggestions on how to make the deck faster.
