UW Control Orim's Chant Isochron Scepter

How about for the UW control deck that runs 4 Orim's chant and 3-4 silence

Let me look up the UW Control archetype and search for those key cards simultaneously!

Let me try some alternative archetype names and also query the database to find which archetype runs these cards together:

Interesting — the card combo of Orim's Chant + Silence is most heavily associated with Ruby Storm (187 entries) rather than a control deck! Let me get more details on that archetype and check the Azorius Control card list to see if it runs these cards:

Now I have a clear picture! Let me also grab the winrate and check Silence presence in Azorius Control:

Great data! Here's the full breakdown:

🔵⚪ Azorius Control — Modern

This is the right home for that shell! Orim's Chant is a core piece of the deck, often paired with Isochron Scepter to generate repeatable "skip your turn" locks.

Key Card Presence (Main Deck, last ~90 days)

  • Orim's Chant — 80.5% presence, avg 3.98 copies (essentially always a 4-of)
  • Isochron Scepter — 76.0% presence (the Chant target)
  • Silence — present in only ~4% of lists (fringe inclusion, mostly as 1-of)

So while Silence can show up, the typical build runs 4x Orim's Chant and largely skips Silence, using Scepter as the lock piece instead.

Performance (July–Sept 2026)

  • Winrate: 51.3% (excl. mirrors) — 843W / 801L / 68D
  • Meta share: ~3–5% presence weekly
  • Trend: Volatile but showed strong runs in late July/early August (up to 61.8% WR some weeks), with a dip in August and a recent uptick back to 59.5% the week of Sept 21
