0 creature Oath Idea

[HydraFleeze]

Hi there. I am far too tired to come up with a deck list now, but I felt I could at least post the idea. I'll post a deck list later...

So yeah, my idea is to run forbidden orchard and oath of druids in some variation of a tendrils deck. I got the idea after reading Stephen Menendian's article on platinum oath.

You make sure you have Yawgmoth's will in your hand(which is pretty easy with the number of tutors most decks run) and maybe some counters, or some other kind of disruption, to back it up. Then you activate oath and plop your entire deck into your graveyard. I suspect you could generate enough storm to kill two people after that.

So what do people think? Any suggestions or criticism? I suspect I am not the first to think of this, but I haven't seen it anywhere else, so meh. Bla bla bla, I'll post the deck list tomorrow. Thanks!

It's been done before, however with one creature - Eternal Witness. That gets you back Yawgmoth's Will or some other card to set-up for the win. I believe there's a wizards.com article about this deck.

It would be really convenient if there was an article on it. Do you happen to have a link?

Here's the article with the list: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/af39

The core idea is there, but the rest of the deck is really out of date (circa 11/04).

After you Oath up your entire deck, there's still the problem of the draw step which would kill you immediately not letting you use Will. Remember to add Krosan Reclamation to the deck and then you don't even have to have Will in hand first.

I've seen lists with ewitness + collosus(tink) as the only two men.  aka 'storm' lists.  It has always been proposed that a list like that is < ;say a tyrant list. 

Didn't Bueler popularise 'storm' list quite awile back?

And is an ewitness storm kill < or > than a tyrant kill?

Eternal Oath won a small tourney in Tokyo in October.  Oath with 4 Eternal Witnesses.  3 Living Wishes and a toolbox of creatures in the side.  Its an cool deck; however, its not posted any substantial results beyond this.

Link to the results for reference:

Krosan Reclamation allows yuou to win even without the Will in your hand. Simply flashback it in your upkeep and shuffle the yawg. Since it will your only card in the deck, you will draw it in the draw step.
