I am so sick of Oath of Druids.  There I said it.  The Oath of Scholars
and the Oath of Ghouls, are in my opinion, the best Oaths.  Oath of
Lieges is pretty good too, especially with cards that require land
sacrifice.  It's too bad they didn't make a red Oath.  (smile)

Anywho, another non-archetype deck on its way to you from Kingston.

With the B/U Oaths in combination you can set up so much board control
with Man-o-war, Nekrataal and Daring Apprentice.  Using Dissipate and
the furnaces, you can make sure that your opponent cannot use the Oath
of Ghouls and with Capsize and Man-o-war you can make sure he cannot use
the Oath of Scholars.
Try to Reanimate your opponent's creatures to maintain a greater number
of creatures in your graveyard than his/hers.

Why a Silver Wyvern?  I have loved him since my first Stronghold pack.
Put whatever you want in this slot; he is just there for character.

Vs. Sligh:              I really hate Sligh...
Vs. Suicide Black:      Ok so far.  Better than expected.  60-40.
Vs. Animators:  Furnaces kill them but make sure they can't use
the Oath of Ghouls.  75-25.
Vs. WW:                 Counter anything that is Pro-black!  55-45.
Vs. Countermagic:       B/U Oaths are great against Blue Control.  80-20.
Vs. Bounce:     Damned Tradewinds.  Allure is key here.  50-50.
