The problem with Battle of Wits is that when you consider you will need 200 cards in your deck once it hits the battlefield and that it might take several (or many) turns to get Battle of Wits on the battlefield, you will need to play somewhere around 240 cards to make Battle of Wits work, which means you're increasing your deck size by 300%, which in turn leads to a massive drop in consistency, to the point where Battle of Wits simply isn't worth the cost in competitive decks

Still nice to have for Legacy and Vintage, though

When I see Edgar across the table, I just know I'm not ever going to be able to keep their battlefield clear

But these are expensive and fragile spells so having enough of a controlling and tempo game going is key
