		<description><![CDATA[UWg Oath is pretty much a UW control shell with some tutors to get Oath/Polymorph/Proteus Staff, then splashing G just for Oath.  Oath can come down T2 and be active, so often the time and mana available to fight with before you&#039;re facing Emrakul/Progenitus is very limited.  Later in the game you have to fight through countermagic that can protect their win conditions.  PWers and combos like Thopter/Sword can give the deck a way to win without a fatty as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Steve,

Thanks for the note.  It actually does take a bit of time to post decklists because you have to list each card individually. :)  But that&#039;s no excuse in itself.  The real reason is that we&#039;d like to post more detailed articles about Singleton, the possible metagame, etc., a bit later, and we&#039;re not necessarily sold on our own builds yet.

As for the Oath combo list, I&#039;ve certainly played against versions of that in the past.  One of the problems with it is that you don&#039;t get to run cool creatures, and there are lots of efficient creatures with interesting abilities to play.  In addition, I used to run a RUG list with Survival (before it was banned) that had a number of sideboard options against the list just by accident (Sower of Temptation, O-ring, even [card]Ixidron[/card] :P).  This isn&#039;t to say that the deck is horrible, though; it&#039;s just to say that its plan may, in fact, be too linear for a tier 1 100CS list.  Maybe I&#039;m wrong, though.

With all that being said, we would like to put together some combo lists at some point that reflect what the metagame will likely contain, including an Oath list, a Scapeshift list, a Cephalid Breakfast/Hermit Druid list, and maybe an artifact-combo list (with Painter-Stone and Thopter-Sword, etc.).  Combo occupies an serious niche in the metgame, which is surprising given the deckbuilding restrictions of 100CS, and I hope it puts up results when the format is resurrected (hopefully soon).  We&#039;ll also be looking to unban some cards that we don&#039;t actually think are even as good as many of the cards that are legal in the format (Imperial Seal for instance... is this card really better than Mystical Tutor?).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sweet- more 100cs vids!  One addition that&#039;d be nice is a decklist for the decks you&#039;re running, I assume it isn&#039;t much work to create.

It&#039;s cool to see some different decks, although I wasn&#039;t very impressed with that Gr list with Weatherseed Treefolk, seems like Naya or Elves would be a much better direction to go.  Don&#039;t really understand running Natural Order if the only real target is Primeval either.  I am not a fan of Gaea&#039;s Revenge, 7 mana is just way too much for a card that doesn&#039;t win you the game necessarily.  It is too chumpable and dies to Wraths anyways, I&#039;d rather have a cheaper control hoser.

IMO the scariest deck in 100cs is UWg control splashing for Oath of Druids.  Oath is the most powerful card when built around, 2 mana for Emrakul/Progenitus, yikes.]]></description>
