Artifact
Mana Cost: 2
Imprint - When Isochron Scepter comes into play, remove an instant from your hand with converted mana cost 2 or less.
2,T: [Play a copy of the imprinted instant.]
Some cards off the top of my head:
Ancestral Recall
Mana Drain
Lightning Bolt
Price of Progress\n\n

So who's gonna be packing MD artifact hate now?
*goes to add Rack and Ruin MD to Stacker*
Other annoying cards.
Vamp tutor
Mystical tutor
STP
Fork
Berserk
etc...'
Wow hey speaking of Fork, here a decent reason not to unrestrict. I mean with this card you could get a colorless Fork every turn and with 4 it wouldn't of been hard to draw one for intial imprint either.\n\n

Wow, and it has a reasonable casting cost too. I think I can start playtesting Null Rod as a 4-of now.

So does this make up for the disappointment over artifact lands?

This card is extremely powerful.
If you only think about the possibilities that this card provides.
Some more targets:
Tainted Pact/Impulse/Brainstorm
Naturalize
Artifact Mutation
Abeyance
Acc Knowlwedge
Dark Ritual/Cabal Ritual
Lim Dul's Vault
Stifle
Ebony Charm/Coffin Purge
Diabolic Edict

Extract
Note that you can also play off-color cards with it.\n\n

Ya...off the cuff, Mystical Tutor and Vampiric Tutor spring to mind. Swords, Argivian Find and Orim's Chant in Parfait...my god people, there is no more Berlin Wall, are the fates so fickle that Parfait could finally work?
I really wish we knew exactly how Imprint worked, does the imprinted card spring to the zone it was removed from when the Imprint permanent is destroyed or does it stay RFG?\n\n

What we need now is a way to remove removed from the game cards even further from the game (that or just pack artifact hate--though it would be more fun to have a card that stole someone's Imprinted card and made their artifact useless).

With all the goodie artifacts coming (or supposedly coming) in this block, shouldn't Null Rod just be reprinted anyway?
Oh that's right, it's on the Reserve List. Muahahahahahaha...
(Yes, I do know that even though it's on the reserve list, WotC could still print it anyway.).

It will remain removed from the game. Disenchanting it in response to the comes into play would be bad, too. But then you could still wish for the imprinted card. |

Have you noticed the rarity though? This thing is uncommon! Should be real easy to get even though they will inflate the prices initially.

Can't use FoF with it (since FoF is a 4 drop) but the possibilities with this thing are just insane...

Much of this set needs immediate restriction. There is no doubt that this 'Isochron Scepter' is completely degenerate. dci@wizards.comLet's try to nip this in the bud, eh? |
