Wondering how interesting The Ur-Dragon might be in an Oath Deck, with Dragon Breath giving it Haste. It draws a card and puts a permanent into play with power 10 it's a 2 turn clock.
Curious as to opinions, I know it's not even an official card yet but it it's certainly intriguing.

Why not just run Blightsteel instead?

Yeah, you could put that in with The Ur-Dragon's attack trigger. [/joking]
The problem with The Ur-Dragon (outside of Commander Dragon Tribal) is that it's coming along after better things have come out, and don't get me wrong, a mini-Eureka that draws a card(s) on a 10/10 evasive dragon is good, but Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Blightsteel, and arguably Griselbrand all either hit harder, for lethal immediately, or generate enough advantage that you can bury your opponent and effectively win on the spot.
That being said, it's not impossible for The Ur-Dragon to find it's way into the deck, but it has to find a way to synergize with an already tight decklist with other hard hitters. One thing I will give it kudos for though is that since it's all five colors, an Oath play wouldn't dread drawing it as much as the other finishers I listed because The Ur-Dragon can feed Force of Will.
