Boros Scepter

Trying to find the best 2 mana burn spells for this deck. Anything better than Incinerate? Needs to be able to hit creatures or players.

You could try either Searing Blaze or Searing Blood although one card I love in this kind of deck is Silence

Thanks for the suggestions! I love Silence under the scepter but I hate losing card advantage by playing it from my hand. So I decided to stick with mostly burn

Skullcrack is definitely what you're looking for!

Skullcrack will definitely be in the sideboard but I prefer the option to hit creatures for a mainboard option. Great suggestion though!

Have you thought about Atarka's Command? I know it doesn't hit creatures, but the green splash gives you more options for your deck. You can also use your Isochron Scepters to get extra lands into play. Probably the best thing, however, is that you get to play Destructive Revelry in your sideboard.

For strictly Boros colors, other options are Angel's Grace, Dawn Charm, Burst Lightning (you can pay the kicker even when it's imprinted), Deflecting Palm, Galvanic Blast (although you'd need more artifacts in your deck), Intervention Pact, Sudden Shock, Surging Flame, and Pact of the Titan.

Skullcrack is going to likely be the best option, however.

Personally I love running Atarka's Command, Deflecting Palm, or Skullcrack.
