You lose!..... Ummm, scratch that...

[Deathseide]

 {Isochron Scepter} +  {Angel's Grace} + {voltaic key}

Imprint the grace onto the scepter, and activate on your turn, use the key to untap the scepter and use at the start of your opponant's turn or if you would face death by whatever...

Simple, but very effective...

[scarsabrex]

Blah blah obviously every combo can be deconstructed etc. What this combo does not protect against very well, poison and non damage based loss of life.

[Deathseide]

Except for the fact that {angel's grace} is split second and prevents you from losing...

[Double-O-Scotch]

Protects From losing until end of turn. If you mill out or poison counters, angels grace will save you till the end of your turn. It's seems really good, but its quite circumstantial. I'm not saying don't use it. But I prefer {orim's chant} with Iso scepter. Treat the sickness, not the symptom.

Except the grace won't save you during your upkeep when state based actions are checked.

[Double-O-Scotch]

Yes it will. "You can't lose the game this turn..." You're opponents upkeep sure...

[Gorzo]

Neither player gets priority during the untap step, meaning you can't use the scepter during that step. If something is in effect that would cause you to lose as a state-based action (having 0 life or 10 poison counters for example), you will lose during the untap step and be unable to stop it with scepter as you do not get priority.

[Double-O-Scotch]

Fair enough, but under what circumstances would you lose the game on your untap step?

[Gorzo]

Having 0 life, having 10 poison counters mainly.

[scarsabrex]

So, you lose during Upkeep, not Untap. But you still can't do anything to stop it, since you can't even cast anything before the game declares you dead.

Literally words out of my mouth guys...

[Deathseide]

Point being it is an effective combo against most things.
If all you are doing is bashing what others work up, then go elsewhere for your kicks

Which is why I replied starting with.

You won't die from having 0 life on your turn though. Grace says life is set to 1 and can't go lower and if they try to burn you on your upkeep you can activate and stop it

You can still lose to non damaging sources.

[Double-O-Scotch]

But it says you CAN'T lose the game that turn. I thought CANT supersedes CAN.
