Late game or when you have a full build banner of command is way better than abyssal scepter if you have the gold.

Banner: Legendary Stats +200 health +60 ability power +20 magic resistance (actually 40 mr since the aura applies to you as well) +10% cooldown reduction Aura UNIQUE – LEGION: Grants nearby allies +20 magic resistance and +75% base health regeneration Active UNIQUE – PROMOTE: Greatly increases the power of a lane minion and grants it immunity to magic damage. 120 second cooldown.

vs

Abyssal Tier Legendary Stats +70 ability power +50 magic resistance Aura Unique: Reduces the magic resist of nearby enemies by 20 (700 range).

They are two completely different items. Abyssal is also an offensive item as well as defensive since if you are a mage that relies on getting close to enemies to deal damage (such as Ahri's W and R, Katarina's Ult, or Amumu everything but Q at long range) It reduces the enemy's MR so you deal more damage.

The issue is that, odds are, one of your tanks picked up Aegis/Locket, so the second aura would be a waste.

Abyssal Scepter is being reworked. Won't be out next patch, but probably the one following. All of this will be moot in a few weeks.
