Is Scepter-chant back?

[thefreakaccident]

So, minor history. Scepter-chant was a deck from WAAAAAY in the past, before pithing needle, before revoker, before counterbalance, before krosan grip, and yes, before abrupt decay.

Since the printing of Teferi, Time Raveler shoring up the lock and providing bounce for hate cards, I decided to give this deck another look.

Here's the test list:

The Combo//11
4 isochron scepter
4 orim's chant
3 Teferi, time raveler

Countermagic//11

4 force of will
4 spell pierce
3 counterspell

Advantage//13

4 brainstorm
4 ponder
3 narset, parter of veils
2 snapcaster mage

Removal//5

4 lightning bolt
1 council's judgement

lands//20

4 flooded strand
2 scalding tarn
1 arid mesa
4 islands
2 plains
3 tundra
4 volcanic island

sideboard//

4 red elemental blast
3 meddling mage
2 supreme verdict
2 swords to plowshares
1 council's judgement
2 pithing needle
1 surgical extraction


There's a number of directions in which to take the deck.

We can go black for discard to pair with teferi on people's draw steps, we can stay UW for consistency and further locks via back to basics in the board, or we can go the tried and true method of adding red for blasts/burn.
