Hi, I would like to discuss with you guys some basic strategies for specific match-ups. Deck Im currently playing with is this one:

creature [3]
2 Hellkite Overlord
1 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
instant [20]
1 Brainstorm
2 Daze
1 Echoing Truth
4 Force of Will
4 Impulse  
1 Mystical Tutor
4 Negate
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Wipe Away
sorcery [6]
1 Demonic Tutor
4 Duress
1 Gaea's Blessing
1 Ponder
enchantment [4]
4 Oath of Druids
artifact [6]
4 Chalice of the Void
1 Lotus Petal
1 Scroll Rack
land [21]
1 Breeding Pool
4 Forbidden Orchard
2 Forest
3 Island
4 Misty Rainforest
1 Strip Mine
3 Wasteland
3 Watery Grave
60 cards
Sideboard:
1 Empyrial Archangel
1 Hurkyl’s Recall
1 Iona, Shield of Emeria
1 Krosan Grip
4 Leyline of the Void
2 Null Rod
3 Oxidize
2 Smother
15 cards

As you can see, Im playing with Iona and Misty Rainforest, because I plan to invove those cards into the deck and Im also trying to play without power, at least till I can get some. I will probably test some more cards like Spell Snare, Spell Pierce, Diving Top, Lim-Duls Vault, etc..  I played Oath decks a lot in times of Morphling/Weaver/Feeder or Spirit/Akroma + Enlightened Tutors aka Bob Maher's Oath. But after turning this deck into Vintage format, Im a bit confused how to play all the match-ups. So I might need some help here. The specific decks I will be most likely playing against will be Tezzeret, Stax, Fish, Ichorid, TPS, maybe Goblins.. Could you give me some basic tips on each + a sideboard plan ? You can also suggest some changes in the deck, but this is the best I could afford, right now. Thnak you very much.

Sensei's top is prob a bad idwa, just because the orchards are going to kill you if you keep paying 1 to look

What are you smoking? There isn't any SDT in the deck.

Anyways, Chalice seems bad because you basically only cast it at 0 since 1 and 2 hurt you. If you are playing in a powered metagame I can see it being useful, but Null Rod / Root Maze may be better.

Basically your game plan is to protect and oath and then oath twice for the win. If you have certain matches you are unsure of then perhaps we could offer more help here.
