I've played this in: Ambassador Laquatus
Annul is pretty sweet, especially if you don't have access to green or white. Both of those colors have a wealth of great disenchant effects that you should totally be running. Some of the most powerful effects in the format come in the form of artifacts and enchantments. If you're in blue, this is a cheap and effective way to shut those down -- and you haven't lived until you've countered a turn 1 Sol Ring (Okay, I'll be honest, I haven't done it either, but it's a dream of mine). I think the conditional counters are my favorite to play in EDH. For example, I have jammed Dispel in many, many lists.
As for Isochron Scepter, well... yeah, it's a little loose. Annul is probably way too conditional to use your precious scepter on; you're better off with an actual Counterspell or something that draws cards, since you're opening yourself up to a big card disadvantage if an opponent has their own artifact removal. So maybe this steps outside the week's theme a little bit, but it's a neat one-mana instant that you should consider playing.
See you tomorrow, with a much sweeter Isochron target!
