I think so too, thamogoyf is a mighty creature even in control decks: It will be big enough to block a lot of creature, as well as it puts a fast clock on the opponent if he can't handel it.

Is the Crucible not good enough to be played? ...I mean you play a lot of fetchies and a Wasteland (with crop rotation to search for it)

The Deck looks quite nice

Against fast Decks:

Douse in Gloom (worse version of Lightning Helix, but still not too bad against fast decks )
or Vicous Hunger(same at socery speed)

Moments Peace (protects you two times from combat damage!)

Spike Feeder (very strong creature: gives you 4 life when it dies and costs only 3 mana )


PS: Are Hym and Duress not good enough?

I think that Luncatic Dreams are very Strong (Typ1 players would like it) If your Opponent casts a Brainstorm for example, you draw 4 Crads directly and one during the next upkeep. If we put that togehter we get a 4 mana card drawing 5 cards at instant speed and on top it can't be countered

The Paradise Cavern is just the worse version of Mirrordin's Core. But it's artwork is quite nice

Exploration is very important for the main plan of the deck, which is rather LftL than Oath.

Ah okay this is also why you play the merchant scroll it also supports the LftL plan. 

Some more questions  :

Is it realy useful to play 4 Basic Lands in a 5 color Deck? I would prefer to play 2 basics (Plains and Island). Or is this so important against the Wasteland-lock? But I think you also have the mox diamond, the Darksteel Ingot and the Gilded Lotus.

You told that Shadow of Doubt is good, but you don't even play it. Wouldn't it be worth playing? It is very strong in the Control Mirror!

Is the Pulse realy better then a simple massremoval like Damnation?

I realy like the City and the Enchantress. Their Artworks are just great 

I have attached my current version to this post. And besides, it may be a bit confusing, but FrankT and Sturmgott are the same person - me

I have looked through it and iam a bit confused about the Wake and the Exploration. What are these two cards important for?
And is Memory Lapse not better then Hinder?
Is Cremate not better then Coffin Purge? Or is that because you can search for the purge with Gifts and Intuition?

And one last thing which I already asked before (but nobody answered  ): Isn't Repeal worth playing?

Is it possible that you post your 5C-Oath? (I am just interested how you've build it) ..or is it the same one that Frank has already posted?

I think that Abeyence is far better then Chant. On the one hand it doesn't need double W and on the other hand, if you dont need it, you can just cycle it for 1W.

I still dont understand why incinerate and suddenshock should be better then Lightning Bolt. Tey cost one more to play and their advantage is not that big. I also think that even magma jet is better then sudden shock, because the scry ability is very good.

I think you should test Abeyence its realy good with the sceptar.

There is one more card i forgot: Repeal. I think its a good card with cantrip, it is able to save your own permanents and to protect you against a pumpt up weene creatures at the start of the game..

What about the folloeing cards? :

1. Putrefy and Mortify (both excellent target removel)
2. Regrowth (good alrounder, also good with intuition and gifts)
3. Hinder, Forbid, Dissipate and Droma's Charm (in my opinion all better then absorb)
4. Abeyence (Good cantrip, very very good with sceptar)
5. Disentchant (better then seal, its instant and you can imprint it)
6. Lightning bolt (very good direct damage)
7. Stifle (also an alrounder, that it helpfull against nearly ervery deck

...aren't they worth playing?

I think that Crosis' Amulett is maybe too good: for 3 colorless: either destroy artefact, non-black creature or return creature to its owners and in addition you can also kkep it in order to produce mana...thats far too good

...but this is not the most broken card on this site: Canopy Drake is by far tooooo broken, imagine: playing taiga first turn: getting 2/1 flyer with haste and you are able to pay it's echo..that's just broken...

Thank you for your advice 
...right now i have tried to play the deck without playing the stax strategy, just 5c-Oath (with some more counter and target removel). I think this works out a lot better  ...but dont think i will give up that easy, i will still think about how to create a competetive oath-stax.

I like the Tyrant but maybe you are right he is not as good as a terravore, also because without academy its nearly undoable to hardcast it.

Yeah there you are absolutly right, i would change this as well.

I just thought about catching the crypt with tolaria west.

I think its still nice to get it with Inutition or Gifts 

Is it useful to play the Decree of Silence just for the Acedemy Rector? ...i mean if you draw the decree its the 6cc cantrip counter or you will need to hardcast it for 8 mana  ..is that realy useful?

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

Even if I prefer playing real magic to virtual one, I would be interested in playing via MWS. The only problem is that I have problems running MWS on Windows Vista. For some reasen he doesnt like to accept the card pool 

I myself do not play with MWS too often, so I will not get angry (like most players there get  ) if you would do a mistake or just play slow because you have to search something
