The Best Scepter Targets in MTG
In the collectible card game "Magic: The Gathering," artifact cards represent powerful physical items deployed against your opponents. Scepter artifacts are often sought after because they grant users commanding abilities that might quickly change the course of the game. Unlike a combat artifact, a scepter doesn't need to be equipped to a creature already on the battlefield. Although scepter artifacts are beneficial when used in most decks, wizard decks especially benefit from having one or two scepter cards shuffled in the mix.
