This deck should be reliably able to score a turn 5 or 6 win. The point is to transmute for one of 3 different mana costed tutors. After transmuting for them on turn 3, you drop the tutor on turn 4, and Battle of Wits on turn 5, win turn 6. Or you can hope to accelerate once, draw a tutor and drop Battle of Wits on turn 4 for a turn 5 win. Rearranging the top of your deck (3 to 5 times) triples to quintuples your chance of nabbing one of 68 tutors fast. The deck can even do some removal with its transmuter cards, Clutch of the Undercity, Brainspoil, or with the Bouncers.
Any advice?

SOrry, but there's no way to give advice to a BoW deck without EXTENSIVELY playing it, and it takes quite a while to build it on MWS. If you can send me your .dec file, I can try to work on it a little.

Sure, I'll do that as soon as I get access to the computer with it. I'll just upload it.
Anyways, I tested it once and had a 2 mana transmuter in my opening hand, but then I drew Brainspoil, transmuted and took a Thoughtseize next turn. Ick. Then my other attempts were thwarted my counters and I died a horrible deck to UB Control. I think I'm going to toss in 4x Pact of Negation, just because I forgot about it and can see it coming in handy when trying to drop a turn 5 BoW.
So I've got 16 counters. Meh.
