I recently decided I want to play blue and green together in EDH, and when looking at Legends containing both colors, saw Phelddagrif. Taking note of his third ability, and it's "drawback" of giving opponents creatures, I looked to see if Oath of Druids was banned. It's not. So, I decided to build Oath. This list is nowhere near ideal, and it's probably a bit clunky, but it does play huge dudes, and it hardcasts them as often as not.
A few things to keep in mind.
I don't want to go overboard with artifact accel. In my opinion, when playing green, Rampant Growth effects are superior, since lands don't die to Deed or AVengeance effects.
This deck does not lean on Oath so hard that it can't win without it. Therefore, too many tutors is possible.
I may have too many fatties, but that's only a bad thing if I'm sleeping with them. Casting them is awesome.
This deck only tangentally relies on its General.
