SCG Daily - Vintage Food for Thought: OMG, a Budge, Stephen Menendian atempt at a budget dec

[Law]

Ya ill try and make this my last one I post (one week of it and im serton im boring you all to death).

But I know there are better budget oath decks then the one he puts togther at the end. But at least he goes over his card picks and why he picked them.

Why not continue? The topics are almost always interesting, and the discussions usually go somewhere.

That oath deck seems a bit to aggroish for my tastes. Oath is just better off playing the control game, IMO.

I just do not want a redo of the card threads I started. Yes they got some talking about them but...

They where not wanted. But if you want me to keep doing these I will.

[DeathCaster]

Hmm.......his list has no Blessing

[Skankhair]

It doesn't need Blessing. It's just a safety net.

I agree with Veru. The deck seems to be equally as fast as normal Oath, but has less disruption. It's like an aggro Oath deck, but it's not any more aggressive than normal Oath, while normal Oath can also play control better.

But I think the kind of disruption it has will make it good in some metas. The concept has shown some results (in the tourny Steve mentions), but normal Oath has a lot more results.

Since I have no idea how to run an Oath deck I cant comment on the build to much. Yes im serton I can see how it works its just not the same as playing the oath deck some and learning many of the tricks the deck can pull off.

[Veru]

Don't worry, this will be fine. Presenting articles by good people will go a lot farther than bringing up highly situational black or white counters.


And though this could potentially fare well in certain metas, a non oath deck could probably do better against the same stuff. FCG comes to mind right off the bat.
