Okay, this thing has to be broken some how.  It lets you pull off so many shinanigans, it has to be good with some sort of Graveyard deck.

Can't imagine what combo you would pull with this card that wouldn't be better enabled by Hermit Druid. 

Even if you could make a 1-card combo to end the game with this, at 7 mana I'm not sure it would be vintage playable.

Even for something like Iona Oath, where Oath of Druids was used to fill the graveyard more than it was used to get Iona out, this guy doesn't seem like a valid replacement.  Oath him out, spend two mana maybe milling some more cards, not exactly exciting.  I think the only upside it has compared to Iona is that he pitches to Force of Will, but at the expense of not disrupting your opponent any other way.

this costs 7 mana to activate making it infinitely worse than hermit druid.  Hermit Druid doesn't see play at all, with good reason.

Exile Ancestral and turn Tiago sideways.

Well, it's unclear if that remains true with the printing of Laboratory Maniac, since it makes the footprint far smaller.

I don't see this ever being better than Rune-Scarred Demon Oath...probably better grounds for dismissing it.  Milling + tutor > milling + milling.

Any interest in putting together/maintaining a Github Git project that hosts proven decks of all major archetypes and documents their changes over time?
