Turn8ScornfulEgotist on Zurple Nurple

You probably want Daxos of Meletis and Sovereigns of Lost Alara as useful creatures, and you really need Ghostly Prison + Propaganda for protection.

Cards that give Zur hexproof or indestructible like Darksteel Plate or Swiftfoot Boots would be great, and shroud cards, like Whispersilk Cloak and Lightning Greaves even work with him as you, when searching an aura with his ability, don't actually target him if you attach it to him, avoiding the shroud.

Turn8ScornfulEgotist on Oloro does more than gain life..Right?

With your high curve and few mana rocks, you should really play near 40 lands. Ideas for nonland mana sources are Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, Stormscape Familiar, signets and Chromatic Lantern. Sorin, Grim Nemesis is a great bomb, and you need to be running Ghostly Prison + Propaganda , and perhaps Collective Restraint or Sphere of Safety, even with 1 or 2 land types or enchantments, they are very useful and keep people off of you.

I would take out Teysa, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Sphinx Sovereign, Aeon Chronicler, Pontiff of Blight, Magister Sphinx and/or Jin-Gitaxias. They drag your curve up, attract huge amounts of attention and removal, and since you have no counters or stall/lock they really don't help, especially since Oloro is often a target already.
