Oath is a blue-based deck designed to take advantage of the card Oath of Druids. The Oath deck is equipped with powerful and game-ending creatures to reveal from the Oath, and if the opponent refuses to play their own creature then Forbidden Orchard will give them one. Backed with permission, search, and broken restricted cards the Oath deck is flexible, resilient, and powerful.
Here are examples of successful Oath decks:
