Is this deck viable?  Will it fare against low creature decks?

[Jacob Orlove]

No discussion. Moved.

Why would you run only two Oath?

[Tha Gunslinga]

Wouldn't you be better off running creatures that kill, such as Darksteel Colossus, Akroma, or Phantom Nishoba?  Spike Weaver is good too, and I don't understand the 2 Oaths.  If it's an Oath deck, you need 4.

A single Cunning Wish is useless; I'd run 3.  Multiple copies of Sylvan would be good too.

I see no need to run white just for Balance.  It'll just make you dump your hand, as Oath should be able to take care of creatures.

Finally, your SB should be more versatile than it is.  You don't need all the Blasts.  Cut the Crypts for Coffin Purges (wishable), and try to work a few Skeletal Scryings into the deck.  Your draw component is lacking.  Library, maybe?


BTW, Demonic Tutor is Utility, not Draw.
