Uba Mask is just waiting to be broken...

Think of the following situations (with no cards in hand):

Brainstorm. Wow, so now I can play with 5 Ancestral Recalls?!
Bazaar of Baghdad.  Tap: Draw two cards
Timetwister/Wheel of Fortune/Time Spiral. Wow. So you get to play with  7 new cards until end of turn, while your opponent's cards are practically useless? Not to mention that your opponent needs to discard his/her hand for 7 cards that they will lose at end of turn. Wow, as if draw-7s weren't already broken enough...
+much much more!  Very Happy

Once this card finds its place, I can see it being broken...
Standby for an Abusian Mask tourny-winning decklist  Cool

And if you have any deck ideas for an engine/backbone of an Abusian Mask deck, post here/let me know.

Hey,
What about Gilded Drake SB (used against oath)? It costs 2 (like every other creature in this deck), and its very nice to Vial one out right after they oath up an Akroma/S.O.T.N. It even has some uses in other matchups, I guess.
Good Luck


EDIT: Nevermind, lol, I just noticed that you already use it Very Happy

Ok,
I think that I improved the mana base.
Is UG Oath with Intuition/AK engine strictly better than this?
Is there any way to fit the Intuition/AK engine into this deck? If so, what should I take out?
Are the advantages of running black completely overshadowed by the Intuition/AK engine?
Am I better off playing a different build of Oath?

Thanks for your help!

Without further adu, here are my decklists for "BUG Oath" (BlackBlueGreen Oath):

BUG Oath:

MANA:      
        4 Polluted Delta
        2 Tropical Island
        3 Underground Sea
        3 Island
        4 Forbidden Orchard
        1 Strip Mine
        2 Wasteland
        1 Library of Alexandria
        1 Black Lotus
        1 Mox Emerald
        1 Mox Jet
        1 Mox Sapphire
        1 Mox Ruby
        1 Mox Pearl
        1 Mox Diamond
        1 Chrome Mox

COMBO PIECES:  
        1 Spirit of the Night
        1 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
        4 Oath of Druids
        1 Gaea's Blessing

CONTROL:  
        4 Mana Drain
        4 Force of Will
        2 Duress

DRAW/BROKEN/TUTOR/OTHER:  

        1 Ancestral Recall
        1 Mystical Tutor
        1 Demonic Tutor
        1 Vampiric Tutor
        1 Mind Twist
        1 Time Walk
        1 Skeletal Scrying
        1 Pernicious Deed
        3 Cunning Wish
        4 Brainstorm

SIDEBOARD (I need help with this... it isn't complete):
SB:  1 Vendetta
SB:  1 Smother
SB:  1 Diabolic Edict
SB:  1 Skeletal Scrying
SB:  1 Stifle
SB:  1 Blue Elemental Blast
SB:  1 Morphling (?)
SB:  1 Morphling (?)
SB:  1 Misdirection
SB:  1 Naturalize (?)

The aim of BUG Oath:
The aim of BUG Oath is the same as most other Oath decks... it uses Oath of Druids to put a big creature into play. It disrupts other decks with cards like FoW, Duress, Mana Drain, etc.; these cards are also (obviously) used to protect your own cards.

Advantages of running black:
Duress (Disruption)
Vampiric Tutor (Find what you need)
Demonic Tutor (Find what you need)
Mind Twist (Nice after a Drain)
Yawgmoth's Will (...)
Pernicious Deed (A fine board clearer)
Skeletal Scrying (Nice draw synergy with Oath)

Card Choices:
I will only detail on cards that might be questionalbe...

Vendetta- Because pesky welders can get in my way. This can be tutored for by any of this deck's tutors.
Also useful against Fish, Juggernauts, etc.

Diabolic Edict (SB)- Useful in the mirror, and against MeanOath (which I have a feeling I'll be seeing a lot)

I have not tested enough to make many conclusions... this is just a deck idea.

Constructive criticism, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks!
