Does anyone have a list to share with this card? I am very interested in any competitive list.

@anonymous that list get several points for style but I do not believe that I can pull that off like the Dragonlord

This deck is perfect. Why even bother with a basic island in 2019?

You're trying to be defeatist when in reality his list is just this deck from the week prior with changes based on what he's learned playing it. Don't put decks on a pedestal just because you don't have the pedigree of the pilot.

@desolutionist Thanks for the list. I have been looking for a good Oath list.

Dumb question maybe, but Wrenn and Six in most lists reads like a 2 mana personal howling mine every turn. There is a lot more to that obviously but at its core it's a CA engine, not to mention the tutoring aspect.
People are looking for ways to make it better but how much better would a 1 sided howling mine need to be? If WOTC printed a literal 2 CMC artifact that said T: Draw a card. Only playable at sorcery speed. people would be besides themselves and I don't think that is even as good as this card.
What is it that the card does not do that people want it to do to meet their criteria for a good, playable card in vintage.
-
@protoaddict drawing an extra card each turn isn't as good if you know for a fact it's always going to be a fetchland, so at a minimum you need a way to stretch the game out (to get more activations), and a way to leverage extra lands.
Luckily cards like [[Jace, Vryn's Prodigy]] and [[Dack Fayden]] do that and are already very good.
I don't think I've seen anyone mention the new Canopy-Lands with this? Seems like an incredibly natural fit with [[Fiery Islet]] and [[Waterlogged Grove]] already being in the colors you'd want.

@Brass-Man @ChubbyRain I could be a little bit crazy but I feel like Wren makes a Naya Orcish Lumberjack + Knight of the Reliquary deck. Obviously Knight is really good and becomes better when you can reuse the lands you sacrificed to tutor up more or just reuse them for other purposes and Lumberjack helps you push ahead on mana in a deck that probably would want to not play many mana accelerators which is nice while not necessarily hurting you long term because of Wren. I know Chubby has played a few GWx Knight of the Reliquary decks so maybe he could brew something up with Wren and Knight?
-
I am trying W6 in Chubby's Jund, and it is feeling fantastic as a mana denial. Combined with Ouphe and FoV, Green could be the new blue (a bit of an exaggeration lol). Now, I can just imagine little Chandra (M20) and W6 wrecking the world.

@jimtosetti mind sharing a decklist? I've been away from Vintage for a while and this sounds like my cup of tea.
-
@evouga Here is the list I was working on for the playoff, but I decided not to use it.
The deck can win against any archetype, but there are issues with consistency. BUG Fish has the best removal spell in Assassin's Trophy, so that is an issue for any blue deck going forward. I am sure we will find a list with Wrenn and Six that is good enough.
-
I've really enjoyed the interaction between W&6 and Dack. It's almost like a squee effect to make Dack +1 that much more valuable l.
