Where it came from
Battle of Wits was originally introduced in the Odyssey expansion of Magic: The Gathering in 2001, designed by Mike Elliott as an outlier card that subverts the standard deck-building constraints of the game. It demands a minimum deck size of two hundred cards to trigger a win condition, turning the traditional strategy of deck efficiency on its head by rewarding sheer volume and complexity.
The Secret Lair version, numbered 1446, was released as part of a specialized promotional series that highlights the game's most eccentric mechanics. This iteration features updated, stylized artwork that leans into the whimsical and overwhelming nature of the card, serving as a collector-focused tribute to one of the most famous 'build-around' cards in the game's history.
