I would like to start a set of cards: The Simpsons Edition! Each palyer rates the card of the previrous person (from 1-10 10=best) with a littel comment and then is allowed to put one new card in (of cause with the Simpson theme )

I will start with the wellknown Homer Simpson

Everybody likes 5c 

I still want to play Stax even without Academy  . In my opinion just the Stax strategy is too weak now, this is why i added the Oath plan. But I am not sure how good it is now, the problem is that I do not have a lot of artifacts in the Deck anymore, so often the Workshop(-proxy ) just does nothing because i am missing artifacts. But if I cut most artifacts its just normal 5c-Oath and this is not what iwant  .
Do you think that Karn is strong enough even with Oath (cause normaly you dont like to reveal him). The other question is wether is Wittness would be good? the problem is that i am not playing enough green  ...the same is true for Wildfire, i am not playing eoungh red..

So what doy ou think?

Even if the Academy is banned now i would still like to play my Stax Deck  . But now of cause (with crop rotation) it is very important to have a workshop. As everybody knows this costs a lot of money. So my question is: Is it worth buying one? 
My fear is that i will buy one and then it is banned or crop rotaion is banned. Is it likely that with the next bannings one of those cards is banned? what do you think?

I just want to know what you think are the strongest decks right now (after the banning of Yagwil, Academy, Flash, Hulk and Balance)

I myself like to play some kind of control and i am not quite sure wether i want to play oath-stax or 5c oath-control...
