Title: best of the best for isochron scepter
Post by: DirtyMustachio on December 19, 2013, 05:59:06 PM
{Isochron scepter}

So I've been tinkering with commander and such lately and figured I'd come up with a best of the best list for people to have access to.

Iso scepter can go just about anywhere and I just thought a toolbox would be nice.

#InBeforeRageQuit.

{Counterspell}
{Demonic tutor}
{Vapor snag}
{Undying evil}
{Geth's verdict}
{Diabolic edict}

I feel like we need a subcommander discussion thread.

Isochron is a must for any EDH deck I agree.

You've got so much good blue stuff - endless counters or {boomerang}!
Multiple tutor spells
Token generators
Path to Exile/Swords to Plowshare
Disenchant
Fog

SO MUCH

Demonic tutor not so much. Other fun ones though are {Mana Drain} and {Orim's Chant}

{Orim's Chant} is my favorite by far. {Cloudshift} is fun with {Aurelia, the War Leader}

If you flicker her out after the first combat she reenters as a new creature and you can swing two more times for a total of three combat phases.

Any/all of the charms are worth mentioning.
Options in your colours, do different things with the same cards. Massive value right there.

Oh yeah and  {Apostle's Blessing}

Also theres a few dual cards gorzo mentioned that habe at least one side cheap enough to imprint.

Apparently you.CAN cast either side

My favorite of those would be
{Far // away}

Yep! Additional costs may be paid (you do have to actually pay for them, they aren't free), so add-ons like kicker and entwine are usable. Don't confuse it with alternate costs, though, that replace the cmc with something else, which you cannot do, like overload.

Fuse says "you may cast one or both halves of this card from your hand."

I have a friend who plays a  {Grand Arbiter Augustin IV} EDH with iso in it. He's taking it out actually. When you get it off yeah it wins you games with stuff like  {Boomerang} on it, other times it's a dead card.

Since she leave then comes back, she isn't seen as the same creature so she gets to attack again.
