the few times i've seen it show up, it backfires and is immediately cut.
why put this here?
Because it backfires all the time, but it is more fun than you could possibly deserve to have in one little piece of cardboard. Oath of Druids is always a wild fun ride. It's almost certainly in the non-white Chaos-based deck.
This makes me want to have a crack at building a newer version of the old creatureless Oath/YawgWin deck that milled a whole bunch of Rituals and a Drain Life away and then recast it all FTW. Could do it in red these days with Past in Flames...
It's a $4 card that's horrible in commander. Like, incredibad. Bad beyond all reason. I would rather play one with nothing. I'd rather play break open. I'd rather play wood elemental.
I guess we had to have one group hug deck. May as well get it over with. Here's hoping some of the partner legends are salvagable, and that we never get another group hug deck ever again.
Wow, that's an .... unfortunate..... wording. Talk about counter-intuitive. That much text on a card normally makes a person want to skim it for a second, give up, and toss the card aside.
But hey, it's Oath of Druids, it can be fun and playable! Not that it's going for more than $5 lately. And with reprint, that's going way down.
This was not in any way a needed reprint. It sees no play in EDH, it`s banned in Legacy. It`s a Vintage staple, sure, but to quote SaffronOlive:
if you have $19,480 saved towards purchasing Vintage Oath but couldn't find the last $20, this reprinting could help
But hey, it`s a fun card, and if it works in the deck it`s in, I`m all for it. This could be a cool inclusion. Just don`t celebrate it as a value reprint, because that makes no sense.

Holy crap, Rancored Elf, I haven't seen you in a long, long while!
I'd actually expect to see this in the grouphug deck and not the chaos deck.
Could be, I suppose. But I'm going off the Chaos deck's description including the words "flipping things off the top of the deck" - Oath certainly fits that bill pretty well.
"At the beginning of each players upkeep if another player controls more creatures than that player, he or she may reveal cards from the top of his or her library until he or she reveals a creature card. If he or she does, that player puts that card onto the battlefield and all other cards revealed this way into his or her graveyard."
Our tricksy Phelddagrif deck runs it. It's obviously a huggy card, but it doesn't break the game in half nearly as much as something like a Mana Flare would. A lot of the times, small utility dudes are flipped off this and that's that. Not a bad include for the hug or chaos deck.

Is this an inappropriate time to tell you that I currently run an oath of druids in my group hug deck?

God forbid other people like playing deck types that you don't.
On-topic, happy to see it. I've been meaning to pick one up for my Atarka, World Render deck, it doesn't typically flood the board with creatures quickly, so I can definitely get some free dragons out of the equation.
At each player's upkeep, they choose an opponent with more creatures than them.
Then the player MAY reveal cards from the top of their library until they hit a creature
Put the creature into play, everything else revealed into the graveyard
I'm pretty sure the confusing part was that the player has to choose another player who has more creatures than them as if the effect was going to involve that player in some other way but then it doesn't.
This came from an era of terrible wording but it should still read: "During each player's upkeep, if an opponent controls more creatures than they do, etc."

I'm gonna guess that's in the Group Hug deck,
but it could also be in the Chaos deck.

Sorry, just went mental. Wowsa. That's the one Oath I always wanted, but could never get.
Errr, hate to burst your bubble but oath is a solid $6 card.
Basically my reaction when I saw that. I had to actually see the card image to believe it.

Perhaps you're thinking of Survival of the Fittest?
Oath is a solid card, but it's nowhere near that valuable.

Yeah. My brain crossed wires. Still a crazy reprint.
This is what happens at 2am during the nightshift on a mundnumbingly boring night.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
Because it backfires all the time, but it is more fun than you could possibly deserve to have in one little piece of cardboard. Oath of Druids is always a wild fun ride. It's almost certainly in the non-white Chaos-based deck.

Great reprint tho
Here's hoping we get a new Phelddagrif creature that helps out group hug.
And you can find commander decks everywhere so
Good bye $6 hello $2

You lose the game.

Group hug isn't a strategy. It's assisted suicide via magic the gathering.
Phelddagrif is not (or doesn't have to be) group hug. Stop this horrible smear campaign against my favorite hippo. Phelddagrif is POLITICAL, not hug.
