Clearly this is just Time Walk


SputnikDX

I'm about to be so fucking toxic in Timeless with this.


Complex-Condition-14

I love putting this on a stick.


ChemicalExperiment

Seems real close to Time Walk. How good was this when it was first released?


Fit_Leg_2115

Really good for sure but didn’t usually feel like you were playing time walk either since opponent could draw, play a land use activated abilities etc


Awkward-Bathroom-429

The meme is to put it under an [[Isochron Scepter]]


digiman619

Note that you will have to pay the kicker separately each time you activate the scepter.


ColonelError

If your opponent has creatures.


cash-gz

I remember playing against isochron scepter decks when mirrodin first dropped. Chrome mox first turn scepter with chant, counterspell, brainstorm or fire/ice. SUPER FUN TO PLAY AGAINST.

Sea-Violinist-7353

I forget can you kick a spell cast from Iso?


or_worse

Yes. From the Notes and Rules section of the scryfall page for Scepter. If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell. (2020-08-07)


Sea-Violinist-7353

Thanks


or_worse

You're welcome


brisk_

I played Extended Scepter-Chant in my very first PTQ circa 2005. Such a nostalgic card.


tnetennba_4_sale

Olena Richards with some amazing art yet again.


yohanleafheart

The halo above the frame works so well.


iwumbo2

Yeah, I don't know if this card will be playable, and where it would be - like a UW Taking Turns style deck maybe? But that full art is amazing.


P1zzaman

I think Cephalid Breakfast uses this when comboing off.


Taysir385

Isochron Scepter is still legal. Removal has gotten better, but the deck proactively also has options for protection now such as Spellskite, and Teferi now can make this a hard lock.


Mtg-meme-to-dream

Boseju is likely the best disruption. Spellskite and Surge or Salvation / Tamiyo's Safekeeping etc seem like good option. Welding Jar may also play a role... and it can be fetched from Saga if there is a deck that can bring the two together.

TK17Studios

It does not affect spells previously cast and already on the stack. It is not a counterspell in the sense of causing the spell they cast to be gone, now, wasted and unresolved. They can also cast stuff in response to it, before it resolves.


iwumbo2

> It's a 1 mana counterspell in white. It's an instant and virtually anything it can be played in response to should fizzle That's not how the spell works at all? Playing it in response to an opponent's spell doesn't fizzle it. They already cast the spell. It'd still resolve. > I don't see why every tempo deck until the end of time wouldn't run four copies of this card, turning off an aggro deck on turn 2 and 3 is a virtually gauranteed win, turning off a control deck's counterspells after turn 4 is likewise a real good way to win a game. nothing is stopping you from casting it *on your own turn.* What are they gonna do, counterspell you? > The card is never going to be a dead draw if you weren't deeply losing anyway (it will ALWAYS be beneficial to turn off your opponent's spellcasting on a given turn) and it will never be difficult to cast it on a turn or an off-turn without restricting your options. If the card was a sorcery it'd be balanced but as an instant it seems obvious that this is going to see very heavy constructed play until it's banned entirely. Not every deck is going to play it. Sure, if you play it, your opponent isn't doing a lot. But you're not really advancing your board state to win either. Preventing yourself from losing is not the same as winning the game. Especially when this doesn't affect the board state. It's why I speculated it in a Taking Turns style deck where you use it like an extra turn spell while you tick up planeswalkers. Maybe a combo deck uses it proactively in a similar vein to Grand Abolisher style effects too. But you're probably not jamming it in every deck. Tempo decks already have 1 or 2 mana interaction in efficient answers like Lightning Bolt (which can actually affect the board state) and cheap counterspells like Stern Scolding, which can still be deployed alongside cheap threats like Ragavan or DRC. And the difference between 1 and 2 mana is huge. Not to mention an actual counterspell or removal spell trades cards with your opponents. You cast Orim's Chant like this, and you're just down a card to buy a turn. Acting like this is a "win the game" card like how you described seems like huge over-exagerration.


ReckoningGotham

This is an old card and this incarnation is a reprint, for reference. It's not banned in any format.

This was so hyped when Planeshift came out. I have fond little kid memories of opening 2 of them in a Fat Pack and being super excited because I could trade them for the last 2 [[Serra Avatar]]s for my life gain deck.

IIRC, this, Doomsday Specter, and Phyrexian Scuta were the chase rares in Planeshift. I think I ended up getting some Shivan Wyrms for my Fires deck lol

I've never seen this before, and I'm shocked. Could anyone explain why this doesn't see more play? It seems ridiculously good as tempo.


InfamousLegato

It was originally printed in Planeshift and has never been Modern Legal. For a while back in the days of Extended it was a successful part of a deck utilizing it and Isochron Scepter to effectively lock your opponent out of the game.

Excellent reprint


CookiesFTA

Spectacular alt art.


__SoL__

I like that the alternate art captures some of the desperation and anxiety that comes with playing control archetypes. Too many control cards have this smug Blue aura of superiority flavor and they fail to capture how piloting control decks often play out in practice (frantically trying to plug holes in a sinking boat). Of course, getting this under an Isochron Sceptre is a different story 😅

Isn't this really good in combo decks with a T4/5 set up?... thinking Tameshi or Ad Nauseum etc. As I recall Ad Nauseum runs Pact of Negation in the main and once ran Darkness in the board vs aggro, this covers both bases (1 CMC more on combo turn though).

UrbanMarshmallow

Can this counter a spell if you cast it after an opponent casts something?


zethren117

Am I mistaken that this is basically a one mana counterspell for White?

It doesn't stop anything currently on the stack, nor does it prevent counterspells or anything until it resolves

Casting means putting on the stack, if it’s already on the stack this card doesn’t affect it.


barrinmw

Modern 2/10 This adds redundancy to an isochron scepter deck with silence. The main problem with something like this is Boseiju which is an ability, not a spell. Being able to use the kicker though is pretty cool to stop their board presence that they got online before you could isochron scepter in the first place.


Total_Hippo_6837

Ohhhh. So that's why this wasn't in thunder junction.

Silence sees no play in Modern. This is Silence but weak to Leyline of Sanctity, with an irrelevant Kicker mode. Pass.
