You can't  {Force of Will} a  {Last Word} ;)

But you can expect them to tap for 4 mana.

If mana were no object - I'd love {Counterlash} or {Desertion}.
I LOVE desertion. Best Counterspell in my Riku EDH by far! Oh, you'll cast Emrakul? Awesome. Thanks.

Got my {Desertion} in my Esper EDH deck. It always steals something different.
And it's just such a good feeling when you snag something big, too! Who is your commander?

{Dromar, the Banisher}. His ability has a bit of chemistry with {Desertion}. Bounce it, they cast it, I steal it. You can check it out here.

Awesome commander. I will try and upload my Riku list tonight. It's a little all over the place, but {Desertion} does work. If only the stolen creature triggered riku's ability.

Emrakul can't be countered though 😕
And I think it I have to agree with {Force of Will}. I'm also a big fan of {Rewind}. Yeah, it costs a bit much, but if you can afford it, you essentially counter for free. Pretty good in my book!

Haha, you're totally right about Emrakul.

Can I say  {Remand}, simply for the flavour text?

I worked the {Isochron Scepter} + {Remand} setup into one of my decks. I love drawing cards.

KILLERBEE

Lmao  {Isochron Scepter} goes well with pretty much anything

{Isochron Scepter} + {Orim's Chant} is always fun for one player.

Not quite correct, but close. Emrakul can be played in a deck, but not as your commander.

I'm throwing my vote in for {voidslime}. If bant, UG, etc., aren't your cup of green tea then it's kind of a niche spell but if you run those colors a lot like I do, it's a pretty versatile card.

What's everyone's opinion on {Daze}? A poor man's FoW? Top 25?
