Deck Description

This deck has only 3 different creatures to pick up with oath of the druids. So we search it up and play it in mainly 1-2 turns and uses forbidden orchard to force a creature to the opponent. This will result in a 2-3 turn colossus, emrakul or chancellor (chancellor is only in here for the manaboost if you start with it).

How to Play

Use either idyllic tutor, enlightened tutor or sterling grove to search up oath of the druids.
Play oath of the druids.
If the opponent refuses to play creatures (or plays a noncreature deck), you use crop rotation to search for forbidden orchard and force a creature to your opponent.
Since he/she now have more creatures than you, you will get 1 of the 3 creatures out for free.

If you are going to play such high cost cards, you should throw A LOT more mana into your deck.

if you are going to post such ignorant comments, you should READ how the deck works first.

Gaea's Blessing will make sure you don't mill yourself

maybe only put in one copy of each creature and use the extra card space for other cards that would support your combo

i thought about it, but i am afraid that i'll draw both the creatures on hand. The green creature is only there for the manaboost. If you know about cards that could search for the enchantment, plz post it so i maby could put it in :)

Another good enchantment to use is Defense of the Heart, it fits in really well with oath of druids and forbidden orchard. Neat Deck tho, looks mean =p

I'm afraid if i use it, it will take up space. I think oath of the druids is enough to finish someone off. But thanks for the comment :)

Looks like an awesome deck but the problem that I'm seeing is with Chancellor of the Tangle being in there but it makes sense to have that extra mana at the beginning. So basically an awesome deck!

Ty :) Ye Chancellor of the Tangle is a bit of a problem if you get it first, but the manaboost is nice, and the creature is about ok itself :) Also i could force more creatures on the opponent with forbidden orchard ;)

I really really like your use of land effects. It seems like a pretty creative deck that I've defiantly never seen before.
This is why pithing needle should be in all sideboards lol

well since this deck is not legal in any format you could put only 1 creature in the deck eternal witness. when its milled to get the e- witness in play e witness triggers giving u one card from your graveyard to your hand. since pretty much your whole deck is milled you can grab yawgmoth's will wich allows you to play all cards in your graveyard as if they had flashback till end of turn for 3 mana , run 4 dark rituals,4 cobal ritual with your 4 lotus pedal and crome mox that gives you easy 16 spells y not run 4 demonic tutor instead of idyallic and enlighted that way its cheaper comes right to your hand. so once you play the yawgmoths will play your 16-20 spells of mana excell then win with tendrils of agony for a ton. also make sure u put 4 cobal theropy in the deck that way once u flip your eternal witness befor you play your yawgmoths will and prettymuch win, you can sac your eternal witness to flashback cobal theropy and waste their hand of counterspells to insure your win with yawgmoths will. thats your best funnest version of the deck. i played a vintage version of it for a long time but of coarse that would have power9 and thats probly out of your budget
