are there scepter chant decks playing phlage or galvanic discharge?

Let me look up the Isochron Scepter + Orim's Chant archetype and search for those cards simultaneously!

Let me search for the archetype under some alternative names, and also query the database for relevant cards in the meantime:

Let me search the database directly for archetypes containing decks with Isochron Scepter and Orim's Chant:

The archetype "conflict" looks promising — let me check what that is, and also directly query for entries that have both Scepter + Chant alongside Phlage or Galvanic Discharge:

Now let me get a clean summary with totals and also grab some sources:

🛠️QueryArchetype Inclusion Rates for Specific Cards

Yes, absolutely — and it's extremely common! Here's the breakdown for Scepter Chant decks (Isochron Scepter + Orim's Chant) since mid-September 2025:


Azorius Control (the primary home) — 152 entries

  • 🔵 Galvanic Discharge: 150/152 entries (99%) — essentially universal
  • 🔴 Phlage: 145/152 entries (95%) — near-universal
  • Both together: 143/152 entries (94%)

The Azorius Control shell has fully adopted both cards. Discharge serves as cheap interactive removal imprinted on Scepter or played on rate, while Phlage provides a threats/escape win condition.

Other archetypes with Scepter + Chant:

  • Omnath Control: 6 entries — runs both Phlage (6/6) and Discharge (6/6)
  • Jeskai Wizards: 4 entries — Discharge only (no Phlage)
  • Affinity: 4 entries — Phlage only (no Discharge)
  • Jeskai Control: 1 entry — both

TL;DR: Phlage and Galvanic Discharge aren't just present — they're core staples of the Scepter Chant archetype, almost always appearing together in Azorius Control.
