 So if you happen to be running around with Counterbalance in Legacy, you have most of the parts to build an Oath deck. You may have to pick up a few more Underground Seas but thats about it outside the Legacy banned cards. Here is what you will need to pay out to port over.

1 Balance - $.45
1 Imperial Seal - $3.75
Mana Vault - $2.25
Time Vault - $3.75
Mystical Tutor - $4.75
Sol Ring - $4.00
Demonic Tutor - $3.50
Mana Crypt -$6.50
Vampiric Tutor - $23.95
2 Mana Drain - $19.75 each
4 Oath of Druids- $19.00 each 
              +
4 Forbidden Orchard- $1.50 each

The above list equals out to $170.65 tix to grab just the 15 Legacy banned cards. Buying more than what’s listed here is beneficial as you will have a pool of variants to build from , much like the Counter Top decks you built from.

Some versions run Wasteland and some run more Jace, but all of them run a large portion of this list. I hope you guys enjoyed me slugging it out for you and glory in the Daily, there are still three more distinct builds of Oath that I know of so look for other variations in the future. Until then light up the comment box!

Hey Whiffy, again I fixed your stretched photo to fit (cut it into a 64x64 square and scaled it.)

It's here if you want it: http://outofthebrokensky.com/mtgo/whiffy285x85.jpg

Questions for you Sir Penguin. by menace13 at Tue, 05/17/2011 - 06:33

Round1G1 Oath resolved for you after the Drain war. You didn't play Oath on your 2nd mainphase for Drain mana next turn not that it mattered there but it could have and is just wrong to do so with Drains from a technical staindpoint.
Your boarding for R1G2 showed how little you had for the mirror. Oath is the 2nd most winning deck. Grudges seemed a fine choice over Crypt and Sabotage if you did not want to keep Oaths in. Game 3 you went down to 15 blue cards from 17 in game 2.
Game 3 Demonic Tutor was probably better off getting Tinker or Jace to fateseal and not die to tokens depending on if you think he has Sabotage for BSC or Claim for Oath/vault. Clearly Vault into ripping E.Tutor 3 turns later was better but hey who needs planning with sik rips?

R2G1 The anemic Blue count shows up and Annul could be better for this meta than Sabotage, not sure but seems it. Playing out the Top to find a Land and maybe get Vault in 3 turns was your best bet, probably slightly better than playing Key go.
R2G2 sideboarding out Top and Mana Vault on the play might not be optimal, although I wouldn't know what else to board out. Progenitus is also great vs Shops as they do not have the new Metamorph online and no outs in the form of Duplicant.
I thought your opening 7 game 2 was nuts on play. Fetch for Sea, Sabotage turn 1 play, untap play Vamp get Orchard to enable Grudge and play Needle on Wasteland,Worker or Kuldotha depending on what he played.The 5 card hand worked out well until he played Helm and found a Crit before you got to Reveal Grudge or draw Orchard sooner.

R3 I call Shockwave 4-0ing at 2-0.
R3G1 Gains most likely Tutored for Tezz and found FoW off Bstorm or the draw step. Jace would have been better since the Mirror will have Claims/Grudges and he was out of protection, also small chance to draw land and play around Pierce.
R3G1 would Demonic Tutor for Orchard to have the 2nd one in play and 2 Oaths have been a game winning play over Time Vault unless he had 2 Claims or 2Counters or Claim/Grudge+Counter?
R3G2 You Might have played the Demonic and Oath too early knowing Gains doesn't have Drain and your hand could beat Pierces. Why weren't you Shuffling away Emrakul with the 2nd Brainstorm?
You played the Tropical on the 2nd Brainstorm before the Brainstorm resolved missing on the chance to Shuffle away for a new draw that turn.
LOL @ the Sabotage on your own Mana Crypt, You're not playing Storm and not sure what that does for you but deplete hand
R3G3 Why Not Brainstorm EoT instead of playing Key go on play, it could have set up D.Tutor for FoW to push Thru 2 Oaths(or stop Vault+Key from Gains) and shuffle away Emrakul.

R4 didn't watch it.
