This is a deck I built for oathbreaker. It uses Persistent Petitioners + Tamiyo, Collector of Tales
with other players untap step.
With this deck, some players have played their last turn before you even appear to be a threat.
Untapping on each players upkeep lets you mill out players before their turn. When it gets to their turn you even get their untap step so you can start milling someone else. They loose on their draw step. Getting flash and untapping of lands is really strong as
Prophet of Kruphix
is not banned in oathbreaker it is a huge power play.
Otherwise using;
Seedborn Muse
or
Awakening
for untapping everything and
Leyline of Anticipation
or
Vedalken Orrery
for flash
Letting a good card go to the graveyard while you are naming
Persistent Petitioners
with
Tamiyo, Collector of Tales
is not a big deal as you just minus Tamiyo to get it.
A big combo is Persistent Petitioners + Thrumming Stone
but ensure to mill out the player most likely to wipe the board after that.
I run
Return to Nature
as the command spell as you sometimes need to deal with problems your opponents have.
Also
Cyclonic Rift
,
Blink of an Eye
or
Winds of Rebuke
are good options.
If you are dealing with a creature heavy meta consider
Fog
or
Pause for Reflection
You can really bank on those zombies from
Undead Alchemist
with
Compelling Deterrence
but I don't reccommend it.
Vitalize
is a solid choice but you really are looking for utility with the command spell.
I added
Turntimber Sower
and
Genesis
for the incidental self mill. I like value for the land mill and important creature recursion on upkeep. There is a graveyard lands matter deck build path, but this is not it.(
Splendid Reclamation
or command spell
Neoform
chain from
Persistent Petitioners
to
Eternal Witness
to
World Shaper
to get any of your 5 drops. Now you're adding
Tatyova, Benthic Druid
... Wait wait we are off topic)
Back to the deck
Still about the lands
Creeping Renaissance
gets lands to hand or all of your creatures after a board wipe if you
Thrumming Stone
d all of your
Persistent Petitioners
in.
You can actually embrace the self mill option with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries + Laboratory Maniac
but then you are looking to add in
Eternal Witness
and
Regrowth
for the inevitable destruction of your win conditions.
Looking for card draw/advantage I wanted to get the cheapest mana options that still worked within our strategy.
Winding Way
and
Lead the Stampede
are pseudo card draw/ways to add cards to our hand without paying more mana for a blue spell.
Sylvan Library
is by far the best in this category. I dont own one so I run
Bounty of the Luxa
. It is ramp and card draw but it is slow and is a 4 drop.
Memory Erosion
and
Increasing Confusion
are there to help our strategy. You can add in some other mill options like
Dreamborn Muse
,
Psychic Spiral
,
Traumatize
and
Jace, Memory Adept
but I did not find room.
If you need to ensure someone does not have a specific card try Return to Nature + Tunnel Vision
. Although it might be tough to get up to the mana required, it will cripple a single card strategy deck.
If you dont have the cash for
Thrumming Stone
,
Paradox Engine
or
Sylvan Library
even
Intruder Alarm
think about
Vanquisher's Banner
and other maybeboard options depending on your local meta.
Cheap and utility lands are there too.
Have fun and best wishes!
