Finally have an awesome base group to build this deck around
{Invisible Stalker} x 4
{Blighted Agent} x4
{Sword of Feast and Famine} x1
{Sword of Body and Mind} x2
{Isochron Scepter} x1
{Trepination Blade} x2
Not the most creative angle but I'm hoping to wreck house with it this weekend playing with my group. Suggestions are welcome, you suggest em and I'll tell you if I got em.
{invisible stalker} +
{Butcher's Cleaver} = rape
Scroll down a bit and look at my PureBlueSteel deck list.....may give you some inspiriation. I got the inspiration to build the deck from Valadin's Blue Steel deck posted in the Standard forum.
ðŸ'œ {Isochron Scepter}ðŸ'œ
Every time I use it I feel like I'm breaking all the rules! It's especially great with cantrips (cards that draw you another card like {Gitaxian Probe}).
Edit: yes, I know the probe is a sorcery, but I couldn't think of an instant speed cantrip off the top of my {Jester's Cap}. ;)
@ tkpritch221: Added. Thanks Bud.
@cltrn81: Nice deck. Noticed alot of double strike. Just to reaffirm, both phases of combat trigger the ability right?
@Blackjester: cantrip- I assume this is an activated ability of a permanent you control? And holy crap you can imprint that? Also I added {Gitaxian Probe} just because I had one and it's sweet.
That is the best part of double strike and The Swords......they get activated twice :)
What about {Loxodon Warhammer}?

Sorry I wasn't clear, but a cantrip is an instant or sorcery that draws you a card in addition to it's other effects, like {Peek}. Also, just a note that you can't imprint {Gitaxian Probe} since its a sorcery. I say this because i've made that mistake more than once. Hehe
{think twice} instant speed draw

True, but under an {Isochron Scepter}, cards like {Cerulean Whisps}, {Fleeting Distraction}, and even {Ice} give you added abilities on top of instant speed draw.

I would go with {Ice} rather than the other two.
Okay, Prophylaxis, there are dozens of cantrips that would be great "on a stick". I just didn't want to post each and every one. But yeah, {Ice} is tha ðŸ'£ under {Isochron Scepter}.

*cough, cough* {Terminate},*cough*, {Berserk},*hack* {Preordain} *sneeze*. Boy do I need some cough syrup! 😉
Edit: I was sticking with blue instants based on the cReatures mentioned. I don't know if I linked my deck "Sick'em" but it uses {Isocron Scepter} and combat spells, if you're looking for ideas.
