Editor's Blurb:

At present, the Vintage metagame is evolving at an alarming rate. With successful deckbuilds in a state of constant flux, it pays to be flexible when planning for events. For a recent Vintage tournament, Stephen decided to shelve a deck on which he’d lavished months of attention in order to run with the New Guy in Town: Rich Shay’s innovative Tyrant Oath. This is his story…

  Good article and report! I can't find posted anywhere how many people were in attendance though?

Whelp that seals it, Tide Spout Oath is the hot new flavour.  I think it's got the tools to stick around as well.  I hope that Tidespout Oath pushes Shop decks back so I can safely play Gat again w/o having to run around with 4 Flux lol.

I'll always be playing shop.

I like a challenge.

Good for you!  I'm in love with TMWA, so I know just how you feel.

Why do you need i kill card in this deck? As far as i understand, you bounce all your opponents permanent when you are comboing?

[hauntedechos]

GAT = 4 Flux
TSOath = Shop matches are much much better for you, especially MUD.

@ the TMWA comment, I used to be a U/W/B Fish player, so I understand how you feel.

I'm in love with MUD.

It's smmenen's fault.

alternate win condition in mirror/ extirpate on oath, plus you can win immediately off ONE oath activation. Opposed to passing the turn and having something terrible happen like getting TOA'd out.
