Okay, here is the situation that occured earlier today. I was playing Oath with the Auriok Salvagers win condition. I oathed up my Salvagers and during the oath, I put Pyrite Spellbomb, Black Lotus, and Gaea's Blessing into my graveyard along with a lot of other cards. Oath resolved and I had the mana to return both pyrite and black lotus to do so before the blessing finished itself on the stack. My opponent said that I could not do that because of Blessing on the stack, and this created the argument. If someone could please tell me what is right, it would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Me: Thats a kick to the nuts

Oath put your Salvager in play, then put the rest of the cards into the graveyard.

THEN, Gaea's Blessing triggers, which goes on the stack.  This is the time someone could, say, Stifle it, or Tormod's Crypt/Coffin Purge your graveyard.  

If you have the mana, you can certainly dig up the Lotus and the Pyrite Spellbomb before the Blessing Trigger actually resolves.

Well, for the sake of answering the question, you are correct, but the Blessing actually triggers during the resolution of the ability of the Oath, not after it. It is put on the stack after the Oath ability has resolved.

Technically the blessing triggers during the oath resolution, but the very last part of said resolution is putting the cards in the graveyard (which is what triggers blessing).

Basically I just want to point out to people that oath dumps all the cards into the graveyard at once, in the order of your choice--not as you flip them.
