EDH Azorius Control Options
Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 28, 2013, 8:51 a.m. by ArantirTheDestroyer
I'm making a new EDH deck with Grand Arbiter Augustin IV at the head. I more or less have the manabase determined, but I need help coming up with good control options.
Specifically, things that work well with Isochron Scepter would be helpful. I already know about Silence, Counterspell, and Safe Passage, but I need others.
I also need help with the creatures. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Drat. I thought it cost 2. Thanks for telling me that... Is there any spell that does the same thing as Safe Passage for 2 or less and is U/W?

nothing like that i'm afraid, you could always try Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant

Cards good on a scepter? Arcane Denial, Memory Lapse, Mana Drain, Disenchant, Enlightened Tutor, Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Angel's Grace, High Tide, Brainstorm, Pongify, Rapid Hybridization, Boomerang, Flash, Holy Day, Snap, Ethereal Haze, and Abeyance.
That's a good starting place, the stick is amazingly good.
Land Equilibrium is a good control option, too.

@Lhurgyof Thank you very much! Do you know of any Transmute cards with CMC 1 that I could use to fetch these? I'm already using Muddle the Mixture to fetch the Isochron Scepter, Counterspell, and other such things, but fetching a Silence or Angel's Grace would be helpful.

Moment of Silence it's white's version of fog and one of my favorite white spells from back in the day. How ever I don't play edh so I'm unsure if it's legal in that format.

I'm sure your aware that Safe Passage costs 3 mana so dosn't go on to the scepter, in light of Silence though Orim's Chant will also work
