This is my first Exodus Deck idea:
When I looked at Oath of Druids, an idea formed in my head. What if I
put some biggies in my deck and no other creatures? I would be able to
summon biggies quite fast. So this is my idea:

The combo
4 Oath of Druids
4 Verdant Touch  (you don't have creatues? take this)

The critters
4 Rootbreaker Wurm
4 Craw Giant

The recyclers
2 Gaea's Blessing
4 Reclaim

Destruction
4 Verdigris
4 Emerald Charm

Library Manipulation
3 Sylvan Library

Speed
4 Instill Energy

Mana
20 Forest
4 Mox Diamond

Ideal start:

Turn 1: Forest, Mox, Oath
Turn 2: Pull a Biggie (if opponent casted a creature) or Verdant Touch
Turn 3: Pull a Biggie and go into control mode.

Does anybody think this is viable? I think most decks aren't able to
handle an oath efficiently when they don't have deck manipulation.
And a turn three 6/6 is hard to handle too.
Questions:
Are there better creatures to use?
Are there some other creature generators for the opponent?
Would you use a second color for the control part?
  I think about white for disenchants or blue for propaganda and
  counterspells.

Any comments?
