This is a pillow fort, mini-control Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck with a smattering of sangromancy for funsies. The goal of the deck is to punish your opponent for every choice they make, while passively draining the life from them and giving it to yourself, getting card draw, or building up your treasures. Combo's are everywhere in this deck. Everything in the deck interacts with something else. Its beautiful synergy.

Sangromancy

The most fun part of the deck -- the sangromancy! These cards are a constant source of life gain and damage for your opponents. This is essential for keeping you alive long enough to set the board up and has the amazing feeling of slowly bleeding your opponents dry.

1) Pontiff of Blight

2) Creeping Bloodsucker

3) Drana's Emissary

4) Ill-Gotten Inheritance

5) Court of Ambition

6) Palace Siege

7) Twilight Prophet

8) Sanguine Bond/Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose/Vizkopa Guildmage

9) Cliffhaven Vampire/Marauding Blight-Priest

10) Queza, Augur of Agonies

Blood Taxes

Let the blood flow! If your opponents want to play magic, tax their actions -- especially card draw!

1) Bloodchief Ascension

2) Kambal, Consul of Allocation

3) Gixian Puppeteer

4) Exquisite Blood

5) Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

6) Tomik, Wielder of Law

Pillow Fort

Our games are going to be slow. Very slow. So we really want is to survive while our sangromancy brings everyone down to manageable levels and we draw into our win cons. As a result, we need to slow everyone else down to a crawl with tax effects and deter actions with damage.

1) Aura of Silence

2) Authority of the Consuls/Blind Obedience/Charismatic Conqueror

3) Ghostly Prison/Propaganda

4) Ashes of the Abhorrent

Card Draw

Card advantage often wins games so we need to ensure we're drawing cards in adequate numbers to get the cards we need. We obviously have Oloro, Ageless Ascetic if he's outside of the command zone (situational), but we need more than that. A great place to start is Alhammarret's Archive to synergize with Oloro's abilities. We also need to make sure we don't discard our extra cards, so we need Reliquary Tower and Thought Vessel.

1) Phyrexian Arena

2) Rhystic Study

3) Mystic Remora

4) Esper Sentinel

5) Drogskol Reaver

6) Archivist of Oghma

7) Faerie Mastermind

8) Twilight Prophet

9) Trouble in Pairs

10) Bolas's Citadel

Ramp

1) Arcane Signet

2) Sol Ring

3) Fellwar Stone

4) Thought Vessel

5) Smothering Tithe

6) Land Tax

7) Talisman of Dominance

8) Talisman of Hierarchy

9) Talisman of Progress

Removal/Board Wipes

1) Cyclonic Rift

2) Toxic Deluge

3) Anguished Unmaking

4) Despark

5) Generous Gift

6) Swords to Plowshares

7) Aura of Silence

8) Legions to Ashes

9) Path to Exile

Win Cons

1) Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond/Vizkopa Guildmage/Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

2) Aetherflux Reservoir + Exquisite Blood

3) Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top

4) Drogskol Reaver + Sheoldred, the Apocalypse + Vizkopa Guildmage/Marauding Blight-Priest/Cliffhaven Vampire

5) Drogskol Reaver + Queza, Augur of Agonies
