PRIMER NEEDS UPDATING
This is a pillow fort, lifegain, mini-stax Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck with a smattering of group-slug for funsies. The goal of the deck is to punish your opponent for every choice they make, while passively draining the life from them and giving it to yourself, getting card draw, or building up your treasures. Combo's are everywhere in this deck. Everything in the deck interacts with something else. Its beautiful synergy.
The most fun part of the deck -- the sangromancy! These cards are a constant source of life gain and damage for your opponents. This is essential for keeping you alive long enough to set the board up and has the amazing feeling of slowly bleeding your opponents dry.
6) Palace Siege
8) Sanguine Bond/Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose/Vizkopa Guildmage
Let the blood flow! If your opponents want to play magic, tax their actions -- especially card draw!
Our games are going to be slow. Very slow. So we really want is to survive while our sangromancy brings everyone down to manageable levels and we draw into our win cons. As a result, we need to slow everyone else down to a crawl with tax effects and deter actions with damage.
2) Authority of the Consuls/Blind Obedience/Charismatic Conqueror
Card advantage often wins games so we need to ensure we're drawing cards in adequate numbers to get the cards we need. We obviously have Oloro, Ageless Ascetic if he's outside of the command zone (situational), but we need more than that. A great place to start is Alhammarret's Archive to synergize with Oloro's abilities. We also need to make sure we don't discard our extra cards, so we need Reliquary Tower and Thought Vessel.
10) Bolas's Citadel
2) Toxic Deluge
4) Despark

Updates Add
Wow, its been awhile. I have been updating this deck regularly over the years, maintaining the original mini-stax and group-slug themes of the deck and it has been doing pretty well. However, it has become a deck that is become more and more unfocused, resulting in some convoluted gameplay. Fast forward to this Fall -- Duskmourn was released and I saw the potential of what Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls
could do in that group-slug role and I decided a change to this deck needed to happen. I just didn't need two group-slug decks. So I brought Oloro back to basics, his healing mechanic. All of the other stuff on his game text is great, but I really wanted to focus on the 2 lifegain "Eminence". As such, cards that keyed off of lifegain needed to go into the deck and that is what you'll be seeing with this update. Lots of payoffs for gaining life, but still keeping to the Sangromancy theme of the original deck. I have taken nearly every efficient lifegain combo piece I could (i.e. Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood) to make sure the deck doesn't pillow fort to infinity and has a way to eventually win. I think this brings the focus of the deck back, while still having a fun theme of draining life from my opponents. I am always willing to listen to comments and suggestions, so shoot them my way if you wish.
Note: I purposely do not use tutors in this deck, since it combo's out. I have plenty of redundancy with the 2 card lifegain combos, so I don't want to add to the salt at my playgroup's table. That is also why I don't run counters in this type of deck.
Note 2: I will get around to editing the primer one of these days. The Holidays and all that eating my time up. :(
