Instead of opt, you could use Overwhelmed Apprentice

It is one thing to draw cards in magic, but an entirely different thing is WHAT you draw.
Card advantage is based on drawing so many cards that your opponent can't compete.
Card quality (known as generating value in arena) is about drawing enough good cards that your opponent can't compete.

Since winning with card advantage is inherently based on your overall card quality, the simple solution is to bet card quality alone.

Scry is a mechanic that increases card quality and overwhelmed apprentice is capeable of that, and more.

1: it's a decent blocker against aggro.
2: if your opponent scry on their turn, you can play apprentice and stop them from gaining card quality.
3: if you play it at turn 1 you may disable a combo deck by just being lucky.
4: if you play it at turn 1 you get information on what your opponent is playing so you get to plan ahead early.
