Revision 2: I got mean (but not rich, sorry Greater Auramancy and Toxic Deluge)

Revision 1: I added some cards to enhance and take better advantage of the wacky lifegain ability of Oloro, such as Ajani, Strength of the Pride (hell yeah M20 prerelease) and Bolas's Citadel. I removed some of the more expensive creatures that were low-efficiency like Obzedat, Ghost Council, Magister Sphinx, and Serra Avatar. A few spells were upgraded too, taking advatage of some better counters that have been released, like Absorb. Let me know what you think!

Made my first go at a Commander deck with Oloro, Ageless Ascetic! I cannibalized an old Orzhov deck to start working on my first EDH and I wanted to kind of stay in that lane, so Oloro seemed like a great choice.

I focused on lifegain/vampiric effects and draw first, and threw in a few secondary/gimmicky wincons like Approach of the Second Sun, Omniscience, and Felidar Sovereign. There are several ways to win with this deck, and until I figure out a more defined direction to take it and pick up a few more higher tier cards, I want to try out as many of them as possible. It's obviously nowhere close to T1, but it's good enough to play and win at the casual table with my friends.

I also wanted to try and keep the cost of the deck reasonable, so I passed on a lot of higher-end cards like Alhammeret's Archive and many of the more expensive lands for now. I had some pieces at the outset, like Omniscience, Mind Unbound, and Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts, which helped bring down the cost for me to about $50. The "from-scratch" cost will be a little higher, but this should be a very doable first deck for other folks who are just scratching the surface of EDH.
