New combos and smaller deck —July 24, 2013
Thanks to ItchiUchiha117's friend for a little inspiration. New combo is hilarious Traumatize/Enter the Infinite + Psychic Spiral with backup from Omniscience and Laboratory Maniac if needed. This is deceptively strong with the amount of tutor in the deck.
With a good backup plan the deck can now afford to be a little slimmer down 10 cards to 230. Sideboard has been added.
I think this will be close to the final iteration of the deck for standard. Thanks to everyone for your help. Keep the comments and +1 coming! YAY BATTLE OF WITS!!

I think the rule still exist (although I couldnt find it in the comprehensive rules or tournament rules... huh) and it gets bought up every now and then by opponents. I usually split the deck into 2 piles of 120, shuffle then join the piles, which isn't much more difficult than shuffling two EDH decks. I'm pretty quick and thorough so I haven't had any complaints yet.
Thanks, ridiculous is what I was going for lol. It works well except against many aggro decks (which it keeps coming up against gah). Although not the most competitive thing, its a challenge and a lot of fun!

I checked all over the magic site rules and couldn't find any rule stating that there was a limit. Just things of the nature of "Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size. If a player chooses to use a sideboard, it may not contain more than fifteen cards." for Constructed Tournaments.
And more general rules state: "100.5. There is no maximum deck size." Wizzards Magic Rules.
No if, and, or, buts to it... Just no maximum deck size... I always tease my friend about her 100+ card deck that she has trouble shuffling sometimes quoting what I thought was the rule, but she will be pleased to know that I can't actually find the ruling anywhere valid.

This is lovely.
A friend ran a Battle of Wits deck with at least 3 other win cons, including Laboratory Maniac (used Enter the Infinite for that, it was horrible) and Maze's End . There were a lot less boardwipes, but he still won 90% of his games, including against a Legacy Dredge deck, somehow.
Anyways, +1.

Hahaha Enter the Infinite + Laboratory Maniac is about the funniest thing ever in this deck! I might just have to put that in there or at least sideboard. Or even Enter the Infinite into Psychic Spiral lol
Ahhh. Thanks, you made my day.

Keep in mind with Psychic Spiral that it's targeted and someone my kill you before you have a chance to set it off.

Did the rule of being able to shuffle your deck without assistance get removed? This card seems ridiculous. Neat idea if it works...
