Hey all, first post here. I have a deck 'innovation' thought and was hoping to get some feedback on it. Because I have a limited ability to play test against other competitive archtypes, I find myself turning to the online vintage community!
This deck is a mutation of the Dark Times deck that has come about since the printing of Vampire Hexmage, but rather than using the obeyline combo as an oops I win measure in the mainboard, it has been moved to the side for a more robust tutor package in Living Wish/Oath/Crop Rotation. This deck does tend to have some redundancy, and may be a point of interest for reduction, but it also creates a resilient maindeck.
I really can't say too much about the matchups it has, as I haven't been able to playtest it against anything competitive, but I do recognize some issues it may have and some possible solutions:
1) The obeyline combo may not even be necessary in the side with such flexibility of a living wish board. Utility lands have come a long way.
2) Nature's Claim wants to be in this deck, but in place of what?
3) The Oath tactic is somewhat slower than this deck wants to be considering there is no blue for a solid counter-base, but creates incredible resiliency when something gets countered.
4) This deck has some issues with wastelands.
Well, that's about all I have. Hopefully this deck can spark some discussion to get it going in the right direction.

i don't think that oath is worth the build around me aspect which it takes to use. escpecially if you need an extra card to actually win with it.
you might try:
-4 oath
-4 orchard
-1 demonic consultation
-2 crop rotiation(you have plenty of other tutors and you dont have anything besides DD to fetch)
-1 Dark depth(3 is redundant with 9 tutors)
-1 grim discovery
-1 lotus petal
+4 wasteland
+4 dark confident
+2 nature's Claim
+3 Null Rod
