This definitely doesn't need any "support" to beat every Aggro-Deck around. At least he easily (2-0) won vs 4th place GP VI contender Jochen Korbel (btw. i played Oath as well and won 2-0 vs Jochen Korbel too).

2nd: Philip Banschbach with Tokenmania, 4-1, lost the final 1-2 vs Oath, won vs 4th place GP VI contender too, won EUR 25

Here you'll find THE REAL Tokenmania list:

3rd: WW, 4-1, lost vs Tokenmania

4th: Elves!, 3-1-1

5th: UGW-Oath, 3-1-1, lost vs R/G-Beatz of Kavu

[Adan]

Yes, 5color Oath definitely is a insanely strong deck.

I also won yesterday's Highlander tournament in Mannheim going 4-0 with the same build as it can be seen above.

My matchups were:

Round 1: John Doe with 5color Oath

Mirrormatch -.- But he doesn't run Life from the Loam, so g1 I punish him with Exploration and Gifts into Life-Waste-Cycle Engine and go nuts with Decree of Justice. G2 he tries to assemble early Orchard-Oath, but I take his Oath with Seal of Cleansing and beat him down with the 5 tokens he gave me. In both games I had Life-Engine running which breaks his back.

2-0, 1-0-0

Round 2: John Doe with Mono Black Sui thingy.

g1 I just remember that he beats me down, I wrath, he replays a creature, I play Oath, he disposes his creature with Sudden Death and then I had like infinite time to back myself up with Moat and then found Orchard ftw.

g2 was similar, I have LoA and Confinement. I cycle myself through my library until I find Moat. And then the rest of the game goes like in g1. I find Merchant Scroll, go for Muddle which I transmute into a Oath of Druids.

2-0, 2-0-0

Round 3: Stefan with UG Manaramp (the same deck Arne Fricke piloted to 2nd place at the HL GP)

g1 he does not have beats, just a Wall of Roots and a Survival which I dispose quickly with Seal of Cleansing. In response he uses Survival to fetch a Gigapede (I expected Eternal Witness, but hey, better for me!). He then plays Gigapede and I wipe his board clean with Firespout.
Some turns later he plays a random critter, I play Oath. He does mainphase Intuition for Regrowth, Witness and Naturalize and has 2 Mana left. I give him Regrowth, he plays it and then I Daze it for the win.

g2 he has early beats in form of Garruk and Ravenous Baloth. In combination with my manaproblems I go down in a few turns. Meh.

g3 he played a Meloku on Turn 4, I remember that I have SDT and only 3 lands. I play Enlightened tutor for Oath and play it, that's why I am tapped out. He plays Pact of Negation. I exchange SDT for the top card in hope to find a Force of WIll or a Daze, but I draw Wasteland. Very lucky indeed as he has a Tropical Island and I did not make my land drop yet. I waste his Tropical and he dies to his own Pact.

2-1, 3-0

Round 4: Christian with UR Counterburn

We ID and play for the 1st Place store voucher.

Bad matchup, but I have a insane draw g1, having Plains, Island and Mox Diamond for absolute immunity to B2B, Moon, Magus of the Moon and PoP. Additionally, I E.Tutor for Oath. He does not play a single creature, but I find Orchard and win.

g2 was similar, this time he resolves a Magus of the Moon which I Fire // Ice'd and then some turns later resolve Oath with backup ftw.

2-0, 4-0-0

We both take Top2 and I end up being 1st.

edit: There is a mistake in the decklist above. There are 2 Disenchants. 1 of those Disenchants is supposed to be a Seal of Cleansing. Just btw.

[TeKo]

Any one have the Elves! list?
I am looking for an updated list

Adan,

Do you have the decklist for UR counterburn?
