I agree durdling around with an Oath when facing an aggro deck is not necessarily the best plan. It can be great if you can manage to get it out within the first couple of turns. This is why I think the Show and Tell version is much more resilient. Emrakul simply trumps everything in creature decks except Clone effects, Fiend Hunter (hardly played), and Sower of Temptation. Not many edicts running around these days. Counter magic is a concern, which is why you would want counter magic back-up of your own.

First off, look at how many of your creatures up there are Disenchants on a stick. Second, Oath takes time and resources to set up. While you’re doing that, the creatures are beating you down. With no way to block, all those exalted triggers can lead to a very quick clock.

Anyway, I wanted to shout out that the Classic League Season 4 signups are ongoing and decklists are due Friday April 13th. Please visit http://www.classicquarter.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4528&PID=51015#51015 for more details. Come out and support Classic with what promises to be great prizes, and a great opportunity for those on the fence to play in a no entry fee tournament, spread out over several weeks!
