Light(ning) scepter

by clashingsword on 28 December 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (2)


Artifacts (1)


Enchantments (1)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

ISOCHRON SCEPTER is the key card. You imprint ORIM'S CHANT on it, so the opponent can't do anything or attack during his turn. Or you imprint some damage (LIGHTNING BOLT (3dmg), LIGHTNING HELIX (3dmg+3life), FIRE // ICE (divide 2 dmg or tap+draw 1) on it. That's how you keep control over the board at first, and/or start burning on the opponent right away.

If you wait for REPERCUSSION to be on the board, your burn is doubled - it also strikes your opponent. Be it from mass burn like PYROCLASM or SLAGSTORM, or from your (imprinted) instants.

For decks without creatures, you can use the FORBIDDEN ORCHARD. Your opponent will wind up with pretty useless 1/1 spirits. The orchards are also great for any mana - plus they work wonders with CHAIN REACTION.

HUMILITY makes creatures small and, often much more important, robs them of their abilities. LEYLINE OF SANCTITY protects from discard or direct damage. The ENLIGHTENED TUTORS get you those cards, as well as a scepter.

As for the SIDEBOARD, I'd take out the whole Repercussion/mass burn part against counter/control decks, i.e. Forbidden Orchard, Repercussion, Pyroclasm, Chain Reaction.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Deck discussion for Light(ning) scepter

I made a deck almost exactly like this, only difference being that i replaced Slagstorm with Mizzium Transreliquat and i had no sideboard.

It never "Won" per say....About the 8th turn my opponents would simply Rage Quit. It was EPIC. In Team games, I built another deck to compliment it. http://www.mtgvault.com/aigloblam/decks/mea-mentis/

Great Job, by the way :)
