From my playing of Tainted Pact so far, once you have the combo set up it doesn't take that much time to play out. In fact, I'd say it's one of the faster decks that win off of Thassa's Oracle.

I suspect neither Oracle or Pact will get banned. Pact might, but certainly not Oracle. Stifle is in Historic Anthology 5 and that's an incredibly solid answer to this or any Oracle combo. Also there are already decks that disassemble Pact pretty easily without changing their lists at all from what they ran pre-Pact.

I really think that banning Pact is premature right now. If they do I'll get my wildcards and move on, but I feel like a lot of the hate is coming from people who just don't want to see the meta change significantly. They built their decks and have tweaked and tuned them for the last ~6 months and so that's how historic should always be, right? It sucks when your deck goes from tier 1 to tier 3, and maybe when it does you don't notice the tier 2 decks going up to tier 1 because of the new boogieman, but that doesn't mean bannings are necessary.
