Oathbreaker Format

[Red_Wyrm]

Oh shoot. Forgot one of the combos we came up with.

Ral, Storm Conduit with Fork.

Because who needs a signature spell when you can copy your opponent's?

I guess I'm going to end up trying this format as it seems to be catching fire at my LGS. Any suggestions for a PW & signature spell?

I actually met the people who made the format (Weirdcards) at an event in Minneapolis. It was pretty fun!
I hope it takes off, because I often don't have time to play a whole commander game, but Oathbreaker is a good bit faster.

People keep saying they like it cuz it's faster but literally cEDH tho 🤧🤧🤧

I play competitive commander, and even I'm making a deck for Oathbreaker. My playgroup is entirely made up of commander players, and we see this as a nice variant (I don't care what the creators of Oathbreaker say, this is totally a commander variant).

I've already given some suggestions for some deck ideas. But if you need more...

Xenagos, the Reveler + Triumph of the Hordes: expect this to be similar to Grand Warlord Radha.

Tamiyo, Field Researcher + Enlightened Tutor: Think Derevi Stax, but where you can search up any stax piece.

Liliana, Untouched by Death + Zombie Apocalypse: I know you like zombie tribal WWolfe, so this one should appeal to you the most.

Chandra, Torch of Defiance + Fiery Confluence: The best thing I can think of if you're trying to do a mono-red burn deck.

Garruk, Apex Predator + Assassin's Trophy: Kill all other Planeswalkers.

Will Kenrith + Rowan Kenrith + Grapeshot: It's a storm deck. That is all.

I agree with Sorin with yes cedh is really fast but even at my playgroups there is hardly any game that goes on for an hour. But think about this though? People say they want something faster. Ok I will give them they want faster but odd for people who want something faster that we have formats with a time limit that goes to 50 minutes max per match. How much faster you want? 2 minute games? 3 minute games? 5 minutes games? 10 minutes tops? Which I also think it is odd you want faster but don't want mana rocks go figure.

My thing though with oathbreaker is this. When certain cards get broken and/or commanders/oathbreakers. How big is the ban list going to become? So far the list is pretty long and how much more longer it honestly and really it is going to become.

Don't also forget tiny leaders got busted and broken because of speed, speed, speed.

Tiny leaders was 1 vs 1. Oathbreaker is multiplayer. While games will go faster, I don't think it will be by that much. I doubt burn will be viable (60 damage is difficult to pull off) but aggro and Boros decks stand a better chance now.

I'm optimistic, but this craze probably will die down in a month or so.
