Let's abuse Isochron Scepter...
Angel's Grace - Helps stall your death so you can find answers.
Angelsong
- Another way to stall your death or just prevent your opponent's creatures from hurting you.
Extirpate - Continually remove threats via the graveyard and works well with Dimir Charm's mill ability. Suggested by Kaos_Kitty
Boomerang - A boomerang every turn in the early game could lock your opponent out of casting spells as long as you keep bouncing their lands back. Also great temporary removal for any permanent.
Dash Hopes - Knowing that you have this card ready to use will keep your opponent worried and will force him to be smarter about what he plays. Paying 5 life for a spell each turn is brutal.
Destructive Revelry - Artifact/enchantment hate. Pain in the butt for the opponents to have their stuff destroyed and burned.
Dimir Charm - Dimir Charm can be used to counter sorceries, or more likely, keep your opponent from drawing anything useful and mill him at the same time. It even kills small creatures. You can lock your opponent out of the game by manipulating the top cards of his library. Dimir Charm is actually a very good card in this deck.
Far / Away
- Bounce or removal. What more could you need? Because the cmc is both 2 and 3, you can exile it with the scepter and cast either side for value!
Muddle the Mixture - a counterspell and tutor for a scepter if you need one.
Research/Development - This is our big beater card. Again, because the cmc on one side is 2, you can imprint it with Isochron Scepter and cast either side of the card. This can put you 3 turns ahead of your opponent! Also, very rarely should you ever use Research, and if you do, only get the cards that you need really badly from your sideboard.
Terminate - 2 mana universal removal with the added 'cannot regenerate' clause. Have fun killing everything your opponents control! You may want to use Path to Exile or another kill spell instead however.
IMPORTANT Strategy:
After game 1, your opponent is more than likely going to bring in artifact hate, so a 4-of
Leonin Abunas
is going to help your scepters stay alive. Make sure that you side out at least 4 cards that aren't the best in this matchup so you can get the leonin out of your sideboard and into your mainboard. Why not have the Abunas' in the main in the first place? Because if your opponent sees that you are running no creatures, he will most likely side out any creature removal for artifact removal. and your Abunas' will nullify his attempts to crush your artifacts.
Please I need your help and suggestions for cards to abuse with isochron scepter or just cards that synergize well with others in the deck. Suggestions for sideboard is needed!
