Manipulating Isochron Scepter
Asked by FALLEN-X-ANGEL 9 years ago
Is it legal for me to Cast Isochron Scepter and when i imprint it, is it legal for me to pay the X in Aurelia's Fury . Or is it Illegal because it's cast as X was 0.

You only choose X when you're casting the spell and paying its mana cost.
Aurelia's Fury can be imprinted on Isochron Scepter because X=0 everywhere except the stack, but casting it with the scepter isn't going to do much. If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost", like the scepter does, any X in the cost defaults to 0.
