@Pamela. He’s wrong. The Oath only triggers once and then checks the board-state to see if it actually does anything. It would only trigger more than once if there were multiple upkeeps (a rare circumstance) or multiple Oaths on the board.

No, we were playing in person, and since I had three creatures, he said the Oath kept triggering since it says”at the beginning of upkeep’ land it was still the beginning of his upkeep.

@Pamela, No that’s not how it’s supposed to work, unless he has multiple Oaths on the board. This could be a bug if you were playing on MTGO, or it could be due to other extraneous circumstances. Was there anything else fishy about the board state?

I just played against an Oath deck, and I am confused. My opponent had Oath out and it triggered because I had three creatures. He revealed cards and put a creature into play, then did it twice more to have the same number of creatures as me, all on one turn. Is this how Oath is supposed to work? He keeps revealing cards until he has the same number of creatures as me?

So, the people have spoken, and Landstill it is! I was hoping to get in a DE this past weekend, but none of the events fired. I might have to postpone some videos for a couple weeks as a result.

I could c bears runnin MM. why not, the only deck its dead against is stax and thats not a great deck right now besides the point its one of bears strongest opponents. But vs Delver u got delver and counters b storm etc, affinity shut down the clamps or pest, blue all the counters, dredge counter the mm or stop claim on ur cage/wheel. stax was the only deck that MM was Meh against and that was only if there was no welder im afraid its gonna look like leg pre MM banning. The question is do u think MM be restricted????
