Time Vault with a Final Fortune in a Scepter yeilds limitless turns. With those 3 cards, 2 islands, and the Sol Ring, the 
combo can (attempt to) go off on my second turn. Without the Sol Ring (and with four total Islands) it can go off on my 
forth turn. Timely Mana Drains can also help it happen quickly.

I've thought about Tinker but my artifacts are combo pieces and I'm leary of running artifact lands (and can't afford 
Moxen).

If I don't get the combo, I spend my time looking for it and delaying whatever it is my opponent is doing. Sometimes I get 
to play with my Scepters; there are many fun imprints in the deck (especially Recall).

My metagame is light on pure aggro, but there are some creature-based combo decks that are capable of aggro. The control is 
usually black, artifact, or white/red. There are a few combo decks.

My budget is fairly modest, but once every six months, for my birthday or Christmas, I can get an expensive addition (this 
is how I got the two P9 cards and the Mana Drains). My next opportunity comes this December.

I like it being mono blue for the Force, but I've been tempted to splash black (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor) and/or white 
(Enlightened Tutor, Balance). Of course, this would require dual lands (so they can be fetched with the fetchlands), and 
those would take a while to aquire playsets of (and given the number of nonblue cards already in the deck, I don't know if 
I could keep running Force of Will if I did splash another color, and the Force has proven to be the premier 
combo-protector).

The sideboard is somewhat random. I usually only end up Wishing for Final Fortune or Force of Will. Occasionally 
Evacuation, Thwart, or Stifle. Some cards are in the sideboard just as possible Scepter imprints.

Well, there you have it. Critiques appreciated.
