I'm thinking about making a deck around {Isochron Scepter}. What are the best cards to use, in your opinion?
If you want to have some fun with the scepter, use cards like {Boom // Bust}. To look at them all, go to card database > search by text > filter > type in "//"
{Silence} XD
It was my mistake:
You have to search by name, not text. // works by name.
{Mana Drain}
{Orim's Chant} over silence? Best combo in my friends cube except palincheon mana doubler.
Don't forget {arcane denial} and {counter spell}
There's also {surgical extraction}.
Dude, {Isochron Scepter}+ {Orim's Chant} is wicked.
If you run 2 or more scepters, of course you can always create an endless supply by using an {Animate Artifact} and {Followed Footsteps} on one.
Anyways, have one equipped with {Autumn's Veil} and the second with {Alter Reality}
Or the equivalent versions, depending on how old school you go

I'm pretty sure most single cards on an {Isochron Scepter} will hose your opponent bad enough that you shouldn't need 2 card combos if done properly.
In some cases, yes. In others, a single card on a scepter would be useful but not decisively so, which is why having multiple options available is very handy

Oh I'm not disagreeing that multiple {Isochron Scepter}s is better... Just unlikely to happen
Which is why having an option in the deck to clone the scepters is good as well
