Surprised that nobody has called me crazy thus far. If you think that I’m of base I’d love to hear your thoughts!!

@Random Scrub: Yes, you would likely lose in either scenario. I was just trying to illustrate an example that wouldn’t be too uncommon to show how spending resources and time to get a Time Walk is unprofitable.

@Whiffy: Demon Oath could also have a place for Temporal Mastery, though I’d argue that ShOath is actually better since ShOath wins in the face of Leyline and Cage. I had not considered Demon Oath before writing this article, thanks for mentioning it.

correct mobz. if you have an orchard and activate oath you will always have at least 1 less duder.

@ PlanetWalls:

Not necessarily; not if you had forbidden orchard on the board. You could ‘then donate’ a creature to your opponent every turn, keeping him/her ahead with # creatures.

Right?

But as you get more creatures in play (read: more demons), wouldn’t it be less likely that Oath triggers for you?

You said something about not needing to oath a second time with upkeep stuff.
Here is an oath shell that would love to oath a 2nd time.
4 temporal mastery
4 noxious revival
3 rune-scarred demon.
If you activate oath once, you might be able to take all the turns.
