Have Sen Triplets out.
Imprint Silence or Orim's Chant on the Scepter.
Practical upshot in a regular 1 v 1 game?
Your opponent cannot cast spells on your turn or his turn. On your turn, you can play anything in his hand, including lands.
Social upshot?
Your opponent will never speak to you again.
Vocal upshot?

Use Research with Isochron Scepter, Battle of Wits, Lapis Lazuli Talisman, and an infinite mana combo (lets use two Palladium Myrs and a Myr Galvanizer).
Cast Battle of Wits, the two Palladium Myrs and the Galvanizer. Go infinite with the Myrs and cast the Talisman and then the Scepter exiling Research. Pay from the infinite mana and tap the Scepter to cast a Research copy, pay to activate the Talisman's ability and untap the Scepter, rinse and repeat. Keep doing that until you have 200 or more cards in your library, then wait a turn to win the game. Or, if your impatient, use Time Warp.

It seems odd to me that there are so many comments about trying to find ways to break the scepter. That's already been done. The correct card to imprint on this is Orim's Chant. See the old extended archetype "Scepter-Chant" for further explanation.

Ah yes, I can see this + Silence + Grand Abolisher getting out of hand. But really, what doesn't get out of hand with this card?

combos with every single 2 mana instant ever made!!
they could've made it fair by forcing you to pay it's mana cost (so it would virtually cost 4)

I seem to remember a deck that used this and Shrapnel Blast, ultimately killing off the opponent by sacking the scepter to the shrapnel blast. Well, at least that's how i'd use this
