DESCRIPTION
obviously the primary win is obviously finding a battle of wits. using bitterheart witch you can grab curse of misfortune, which tutors up deaths hold if you need it or curse of echoes. curse of echoes lets you copy counters to resolve your tutors and battle of wits. of course, you also get curse of thirst to put a 5-turn clock on them. pod lets you tutor up the rune-scarred demon for battle of wits, and whatever of the 1-of creatures you need. mind unbound usually wont enable a win with battle of wits, but it also wont mill you out any time soon. once you have mind unbound online, you can actually clear out your opponents entire board and hand with descent into madness, while you exile cards you would discard eot anyway.
