This is one of my lists I crafted towards the end of last year, right after Oath hit it big at SCG. I haven't had much time to keep it up to date due to scholastic obligations, and its not exactly a budget list.

1 Humility
2 Goblin Charbelcher
2 Eternal Dragon
1 Balance
1 Enlightened Tutor
4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Abeyance

The deck obviously has all of the problems I pointed out before. Replacing the power from the deck can probably be obtained with a trade of 2 expensive ($$) mana producers with one land, and one mirage block diamond. Without a lotus, argivian finds aren't nearly as good, but I would still include them because of artifact destruction. As mentioned earlier, tax is pretty bad at the moment, as it relies too much on your opponent, so I have more tithe in the deck because of its interaction with scepter and its gaurantee of a land fetch.
I had originally figured that the swords would completely destroy Oath, but then i realized that they had countermagic. Most of the sideboard is there for combo matchups (chalice, rule of law, abeyance, orims chant), and the totems are for any welder matchups.
Like I said before, I haven't had much of a chance to modify it, but the blood moons have seriously lost their appeal. The red can probably be removed altogether and replaced with black for duress and the like, although that would reduce the efectiveness of the belchers. I would also try to put another humility in there, and possibly a wrath of god or something of the like.
The deck is slow in most cases, but can be very fast with a artifact mana and charbelcher start. If you want to play the deck, make sure to test a lot, and be sure that its what you want to do.
Hi VonDouche, iīm also a big fan of Parfait and it always have been my pet deck.
A couple of questions about your build:
- How can you manage the drawback of the Mana Crypt in this deck? Parfait can be a very, very slow deck and a Crypt in the firsts turns could means a lot of points of damage. I also use the Crypt in my build but have doubts about it. I know that add Claws of Gix to the deck instead of Zurans can help, but the Zurans are very valuable in my meta.
- I also think to include Eternal Dragons in my build but i noticed that the synergy with Humility is terrible so i keep my 2 Belchers like the only win condition.
