Deck Discussion: Eleandra Oath

[cccck]

Glen Elendra Archmage.......... a 2/2 flier that can counter 2 non-creature spells.
Use 2 Glen Elendra Archmage in Oath/blessing........ infinity countering of non-creature spells as long as blue mana available.

2 Glen Elendra Archmage + 1 Progenitus are the creature base in this new Oath deck.

Deck list
4 Oath
2 Elendra
1 Progenitus
1 Gaea's blessing
1 Tezzeret
1 Vault
1 Key
1 gift ungiven
1 Yawgmoth's will
1 Demonic tutor
1 Vampiric tutor
1 mystical tutor

The Tezz/vault/key combo still works in this Oath deck. Gift targets = Key/vault/Y-will/Acedemy Ruin.

I am a little confused here....


is the idea of the deck to oath up a Glen Elendra Archmage pass the turn, counter the next two spells your oponant plays, then oath up either another Glen Elendra Archmage or Progenitus to finish the job?

This seems alot weaker then the Angel/dragon, dragon/dragon, dragon/progenitus builds that are floating around...  is the idea oath and control out untill you can deal 20 with progenitus? it just seems alot slower then traditional oath builds and if you dont leave yourself 2 mana open its a really weak creature to oath up.

oath seems to have a decent match against other control decks but can get raced easly, how do you deal with creature decks or the race to 20 points?


I am interested to hear in any testing results you may have,


cheers

I just used this deck for causal plays only. The match-up against Tezzeret decks is better than the dragon-oath builds.
Tezzeret is difficult to win once Eleandra is on the table.
Dragons are better creatures against aggro-creature decks.

I really like this idea, it gives a good game against combo and control, and still not a horrible game against fish, imo. and then u just side them out for arch angel vs aggro. good luck with it.
