The scepter was added in place of Ajani Vengeant. Often I find the scepter works best at imprinting Lightning Helix, making it a pseudo-Ajani.

Telling time instead of Sphinx's Rev also works well with the scepter, making it have a sort of Sensei's Divining Top effect.

There is an abundance of instants and overall answers in this deck, making it much more beneficial to leave mana open and play off the curve rather than on it. Also, I've noticed that playing Celestial Colonnade as a T1 play is often the best, since this deck really lacks any T1 answers. There aren't too many things on T1 that warrant a Path or a Bolt, with the exceptions being:
Deathrite Shaman
Noble Hierarch
Birds of Paradise


Against almost any deck besides Affinity, Aven Mindcensors should be completely boarded in, and possibly removing Bolts or Electrolyzes to make room. Certain decks such as Tron or Pod could warrant Shadow of Doubt, since they don't play very many counterable spells anyways.
