My friends are pretty impatient and often scoop

Lol, again, this is for casual play among friends - This deck was meant more to be a turbofog variant, it doesn't really rely on getting scepter out really quickly, more of a stall deck though fogs, searches, and chants. Obviously it would have a very slim chance of winning against solely dispel/counterspell deck - but in many cases you don't need scepters out to win (although they do help alot)Obviously sideboard would help for most decks - for this setup I've played against mostly melee green/token so against anything else I'd switch it up ie. Graphdiggers - Leyline of sanctity etc.
alternate one.From magiccardsinfo: 12/1/2004: You don't pay the spell's mana cost. If the spell has X in its mana cost, X is 0. You do pay any additional costs for that spell. You can't use any alternative costs."You do pay any additional costs for that spell""Isochron Scepter will allow you cast the spell in its original state. Alternate casting costs can't be used at that time. However, additional costs such as kicker may be paid when casting a card imprinted with Isochron Scepter."
Isochron scepter tells you to CAST the spell. Kicker is an additional cost that you can choose to pay when you CAST the spell. Therefore you can pay kicker costs when using scepter. There are a large number of forums which say the same thing.
And all lands are already in possession so cost isn't bad at all
It would just be an ADDITIONAL 1w on top of the isochrons 2 tap
I am fairly sure that the kicker as many forums say it is allowed
