Maher Oath


Oath of Druids is kinda a tough deck to play, and this version especially is pretty
tough. But in this metagame it is a very strong one. If you want an overall good
doing deck just make sure you add a few Wraths of God and get a few Aura of 
Silences into it. The idea behind this deck is to use the Oath of Druids to play 
creatures for free. That way you can add the most expensive creatures, and don't 
have to worry about their casting costs. The only thing that you have to keep in 
mind is that you should be able to get rid of it, in case of stealing, or in case
you like to get another with your Oath. With this way of getting a creature you
have way more room in the deck for adding control cards and therefore you should
be able to have an answer to anything your opponent does. 

If you play this deck you do nothing much except waiting for the opponent to play 
a creature. If he does you search for an Oath, play it and get a better creature 
than his during your next upkeep. If he doesn't plays a creature you kill him in turn
20 or so with a Treetop Village.
