X-cepter

[Captain Caveman]

Isochron Scepter seems like a powerful card, but I haven't seen to
many type-2 decklist. The single card section has a thread with
several replies but I've only seen one decklist and it was extended
and/or type-1, I think.

Can something work in type-2? Below are a couple of ideas. They use
several junky cards because there just doesn't seem to be enough good
support cards in type-2 right now, so I have to use these.

I'm open to whatever suggestions,.. someone,.. anyone,.. can offer.


R/u Scepter:
*4 Shock
*4 Shrapnel Blast
*4 Guerilla Tactics(sludge me?,.. take four!)

*4 Boomerang
*4 Mana Leak
4 Thirst for Knowledge

4 Isochron Scepter
4 Ensnaring Bridge
4 Pyrite Spellbomb

9 Island
7 Mountain
4 Great Furnace
4 Seat of the Synod



R/b Scepter:
*4 Shock
*4 Shrapnel Blast
*4 Guerilla Tactics
*4 Chain of Plasma

*4 Terror
*4 Misery Charm

4 Isochron Scepter
4 Ensnaring Bridge
4 Pyrite Spellbomb

9 Swamp
7 Mountain
4 Great Furnace
4 Vault of Whispers

I'm a little hesitant on scepter - though it can be very strong...

Something to think about would be shrapnel blast, vs. artifacts... fist of the anvil creature base, bounce/counter - blue based, and black ased - wrench mind maybe?... Not as much in green...

Life Burst with White?...

I feel the blue is unnecessary; just play a monored Burning Bridges type deck. You get to play with Mindstorm Crown I believe from Mirrodin as well and Hammer of Bogardan from 8th.

Hammer is overrated. Don't waste your time with it.

hammer isn't over-rated... it has to have the right kind of deck to support it, and not many people know how to play it... it definitely is not a fast environment card though...

but running red/white now - with rule of law - that could be a strong card...

it's just not played correctly...
