1  Eternal Formats / Creative / Isochron Scepter on: March 25, 2004, 07:42:17 am
Ok there seems to be a misunderstanding due to my sloppy wording.

I do want to make a deck based around the combo:

Isochron Scepter (imprinting Final Fortune) and Time Vault (untapping the Vault each time with a turn gained with the Final Fortune) and consequently gaining a turn when I tap the vault.  

I thought this could be a good deck because
-I need only three cards -only two need to be cast and can be countered-, none of the cards is restricted
-I need only 6 colorless mana in the turn I go off, IF I cast all the  elements in the same turn
-However I need NOT to cast all the elements in one turn. An imprinted Scepter or a Time Vault with sufficient counter back-up could work.

I would play
-blue for the counters and
red for artifact destruction (since both Null Rod Chalice 2 spell game over) and (creature/player) damage

This would give access to both Mana Drain and Seething Song for mana tempo.

Would this be subpar in the current environment?

What if try to combo with Time Vault

That's 2 (Scepter) 2 Vault 2 tapping = 6 colorless mana to go off (3 cards needed, neither of which is restricted), subsequent turns I only need 2 mana, that cannot be so bad.

No doubt lots of people are toying around with this card that begs for abuse.

I am working on a counter/burn deck with the Scepter as a card advantage engine.

If making such a deck would it be good to rely on Cunning Wish  and make the sideboard imprintable meta-hate or should not bother with the wish?

I was wondering the the following combo would work:

Isochron Scepter imprinting Final Fortune with a Platinum Angel in play?

My next question then is would the combo make a counter/burn deck better? Although an imprimted Timewalk with counter back up is very fierce I do see the problem of getting the Angel in play. I would probably need to cut cards to make room for some mana acceleration (Sol ring/Seething Song, Ancient Tombs..?) to get an Angel out timely..?

I do not have power, put I do have mana drains.

Thanks for comments
