Oath of Druids

Enchantment

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player chooses target player who controls more creatures than they do and is their opponent. The first player may reveal cards from the top of their library until they reveal a creature card. If the first player does, that player puts that card onto the battlefield and all other cards revealed this way into their graveyard.

If you find replacements for all your basic lands and related cards, Hermit Druid can self-mill to empty. It's probably not a good idea to take out all of the creatures here for Oath of Druids, though. That would be a different deck.

That OG Oath of Druids tech.

Echo of Eons? Flashback Timetwister is no joke. Cute alongside Null Brooch. Or too group huggy for the strategy?

I will go lower power on these pets, but oddities as well.

Oath of Druids my baby! it can crap on control in great ways while making sure the game will have impactful play from many spots.

Descent into Avernus I write about this one all the time

Shiny Impetus I ramp away while not being the guy that removed my opponent's thing.. Also, lets that pain train keep on rolling

Any of the monarch courts

Titania's Song hilarious, kills treasures too.

Crescendo of War for the sake of aggression

Wand of Wonder it just randomly will get me out of a bind and makes my deck function unpredictably

I don't have much for pet creatures, I will have to look into that

Rise of the Witch-king may end up being a good one for you... Oath of Druids is more of a wolf in sheep's clothing than true group-hug (for me). I usually use it to dump on controlly spell-slingers trying to keep creature-counts low, while also looking like a "huggy", decent guy. Also, in {BG} it starts really filling out graveyards for me to do stuff with if they opt to activate it... If they don't opt to activate it, then they can have fun falling behind the more stompy decks at the table :) ...

Thank you SufferFromEDHD, Profet93, and Gleeock for your feedback! After reworking the deck I have added a few of your suggestions and am considering the others! Oath of Druids seems particularly fun if I ever want to take the deck in a "goup hug" direction.

Also, CptnHndsm = Captain Handsome, but I love where your head is at! ;) check out my Demon Tribal list for some of that sweet hedonism! :P

Fun take on enchantress+recursion. I also like the limited GY superiority built into the commander. You ever consider Oath of Druids. Just because of how zany it is... & your ability to manipulate the trigger with snake-gifting?

Gleeock on I LOVE CHAOS

DrukenReaps that is a playstyle (which I love) that only certain people win with, takes a very different look at tempo & life totals as a resource. Very midrangy (which I also love). It is really fun to force players to make different decisions than they normally would because you have been chiseling at life totals on a non-lifegain control deck for example.

If you build it the non-cEDH/combo way Atla Palani, Nest Tender is chaotic in a fun way. Atla with Tobasco Sauce plays with high variance. Ruric Thar, the Unbowed is one of my favorite egg-hatches, which probably fits the bill for this topic.

Polymorphing probably fits this bill too, you can build however much variance you want then Reality Scramble tokens.

Fun variance cards: Oath of Druids is a staple for me, you can make the game very lopsided against a miserly opponent with this. Creative Technique is powerful but has variance, Protection Racket is amazing in a fun Timmy deck that doesn't care that much if you lose a card here and there. None of those really stall things, they just keep the foot on the gas. I know there are more that I will think up.

Gleeock on What is Gruul to you?

Deathstrike would be fine & all, but it wouldn't really broaden any horizons for the color pair. To be thoroughly Gruul it would probably need some cool ability for if you connect with combat dmg... Maybe something that Oath of Druids'd the entire table, or made everyone sac an artifact or enchantment & get a centaur in its' place :)
