Enchantment (3)

After seeing the card Isochron Scepter, I knew I wanted to make a deck using, and abusing it.

Of course that meant throwing a metric crap ton of instants in the deck.

Cards such as Anticipate and Manamorphose provide card draw, and paired with Isochron Scepter, can give you a good amount of card advantage throughout the game.

Lightning Bolt is in here of course, and can be a great card to imprint on a Scepter. Vapor Snag is a great card to imprint as well, especially in my creature heavy meta.

Mana Leak and Deprive are both in here because I love me some anti magic (I'm curious as to whether remand would be a choice than either of these).

Due to the large amount of instants in the deck, Thing in the Ice   and Dynavolt Tower fit in here perfectly as my win cons.

I started out running three copies of Pyromancer Ascension in the deck, with could do some crazy things, especially with a the same card in the yard and on a Scepter. However after play testing I wasn't sure how much I liked it in the deck.

So I decided to take it out of the deck, partly because I've been wanting to put Surrakar Spellblade in a deck. This little guy can some great card advantage, and should be really easy to put counters on considering the amount of instants in the deck.

I'd love any tips, tricks, suggestions or any other thoughts on the deck! Thanks!

(Also, any sideboard ideas would be greatly appreciated.)
