I've also tried my hand at Oath, in response to the original poster's
ideas with B/G.  I've had huge luck and I want to get more Winter Orbs
to turn it into a PropaOrb deck.  After a couple of games where I had
an Orb and 2-3 Propagandae (is that the plural of Propaganda?) I've
found it super easy to kill my opponent.  Here's a decklist.

3 Oath of Scholars
4 Propaganda
4 Impulse
4 Man-o'-Mar
4 Boomerang
4 Unsummon
1 Equilibrium (I want more)
1 Tradewind (I'm not sure about this yet, I only have 1 anyway)

3 Winter's Grasp (I want 4)
3 Creeping Mold (I want 4)
3 Spike Feeder (only need 3)
3 Gaea's Blessing (I want 4)

1 Scalding Tongs (I NEED 4)
2 Feldon's Cane
1 Winter Orb (I want more)

13 Island
7 Forests

I don't have all of the necessary cards yet, and I don't know what to
take out when I get them.  I do know that when I get the Orb and a few
Propagandae I can easily stop creatures, I just bounce the attacker
once it's all paid for and wait for the Oath.  Once I get the Oath I
can usually bounce something every turn (sometimes two with
Equilibrium and Man-o'-War) and/or I bounce the Orb and replay it to
get all my mana.  Once I get Scalding Tongs I've got a lock that wins
me the game.   It's a fun prison deck and the LD can really disrupt
you're opponent.  I avoid Capsize because it's counter productive.  If
I buyback then my hand isn't getting smaller which is what I want.  I
want to use all of my spells every turn.  Any ideas or similar
attempts please post a response.
