If you're looking for protection from graveyard hate, I usually go with Orbs of Warding in non-white decks. It doesn't protect from effects that target specific cards but it covers you from Bojuka Bog, Identity Crisis, Rakdos Charm, and Tormod's Crypt effects. TO is telling me you've already considered Orbs of awarding so nvm I guess. Same for Bitter Ordeal and every other card I mentioned lol.

Why no Cabal Coffers? There are many cool combos in here, I grant you. It looks like a fun deck for you to play. Bitter Ordeal is a fun alternate wincon if you have an infinite sac loop like with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Puppeteer Clique or Woodfall Primus. The former us the added bonus of reanimating all of your opponents creatures with haste if you've already heavily milled them and the latter wrecks all of their noncreature permanents.

Oloro is in your title, but you used the plural of deck in your comment. Do you want more than just Oloro combos?

Also, what kind of combos are you looking for? You say degenerate, but that varies by playgroup. Most combos the average player considers degenerate are garbage, competitively, and typically the best 'combo' at tables with powerful decks and knowledgeable players is A Good Deck + Ad Nauseam or Doomsday, or something. So, because I don't know what you're looking for and you gave practically 0 information to make suggestions simple, here's every single infinite combo I can think of or find in Esper (and some of these aren't even registered as combos on the site, so... I found that interesting. Had to go back and separate those ones card by card):
