Through endurance you shall prosper. I consider this build to be a versatile midrange option for Oloro. Lifegain, card draw, and reanimation options should allow to approach the situation in whichever method works best for you.

Aggro: this deck is loaded with fatties and if left to it's own devices will drop powerful threats like Serra Ascendant Serra Avatar and Divinity of Pride if your opponent doesn't kill them fast enough you can protect them with boots, and Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant, and then buff them with Archangel of Thune and Cradle of Vitality.

Control: a great deal of this decks solutions involve creatures that get rid of crap with an ETB, such as Angel of Despair these have quite a few recursion options. and for when those are not enough, this deck runs 2 counter spells and 2 dedicated solutions: Return to Dust (for E & A) and Far / Away (for creatures). I like to leave a third slot open tailored for what my opponent might be running. this deck runs 5 different flavors of board wipe, 4 of which will hit indestructible creatures.

Draw: oloro himself is an amazing draw engine if you put him in play, he has especially powerful synergy with Pristine Talisman and Exquisite Blood. he is however an extremely valuble target for your opponents so try to limit his exposure. other card draw options include Bloodgift Demon Necropotence and Drogskol Reaver or the Well of Lost Dream

Combos: Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond = I WIN

vish kal,blood arbiter + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed wipe board of whatever you want except hexproof.

mikeaus or Gift of Immortality + any ETB effect= recursion of that effect. this is especially potent with the Ashen Rider

Other wincons: Beacon of Immortality+Sanguine Bond

Debt to the Deathless

Recursion options: Unburial Rites Phyrexian Reclaimation Sheoldred, Whispering One Obzedat's Aid Archaeomancer Sharuum the Hegemon
