I really wanted to build a slow bleed deck mainly focusing on the Orzhov guild. Then realized Oloro was the best commander and therefore, decided to splash blue in the deck. I mainly run blue for ‘good stuff’ – Hinder , mainly for other commanders, Brainstorm – when is it not good to Brainstorm? – Rhystic Study – another piece to allow me to draw cards or slow my opponents down. Cyclonic Rift – I try to use it for the board wipe. Bribery – when I want your big creatures. As well as, Paradox Haze – works really well with Oloro ☺

Otherwise – I tried to keep it Orzhov. We all know EDH is more politics than actual deck building (generally) so I try to bring everyone down evenly. I like the extort ability in this deck because of the multiplayer nature of this format. (Any other low costing extort creatures are always welcome). Otherwise – I try to play creatures with different triggered abilities to help Oloro. (i.e. Kokusho, the Evening Star , Soul Warden ).

I like to play tutor cards to get my best cards out or find answers. I also, like to play board wipes, as this deck usually does not need creatures to be effective. ( Sanguine Bond works wonders) However, I’ve noticed it can be weak early game to aggressive decks (Rafiq in particular), hence the cheap spot removal.

I much rather exile creatures rather than destroy them as it stops ‘graveyard shenanigans.’

The area’s I am looking for help with are to make it faster – either with better mana ramp or lower costs cards – and just overall good stuff, which I’m sure I’m missing a lot of.

Also - I do not play Auto-win cards. (I.e. Test of Endurance / Felidar Sovereign )
