---

When Commander 2013 was released, I immediately fell in love with Oloro, Ageless Ascetic. The name stems from the fact that if this deck is ignored entirely for even a few turns, this deck auto-wins. In order to play this deck properly, there are a few assumptions that must be made and understood.

1.) You will generate hate from the board because of your passive life-gain. You will be dunked early.

2.) This is a control deck. You are playing esper, which is littered with utility, card draw, removal, wrath, and counter spells. Control the board. Your additional life gain helps, but it won't save you against hyper-aggression towards you. Turtle turtle turtle.

3.) The hate generated because of +2 life a turn doesn't warrant the hate you will receive. Nor does 1 damage per life gain. The objective with this deck is to proc your commander's second ability to draw cards. The damage and life gain is just a nice side-effect.

The Featured Synergy:

Free Commander Proc: Oloro, Ageless Ascetic + Pestilence Charm

Free Card Draw: Necropotence + Venser's Journal

Draw and gain choice life: Sphinx's Revelation + Infinite Colorless

Draw When You Play a Spell/Extort Proc (For B/W + 1 + spell): Play a spell + Extort trigger

The Infinites:

Infinite Turns: Time Seive + Thopter Assembly

Infinite Life/Damage: Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond

Infinite Durdles: Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek

Infinite Colorless: Ashnod's Altar + Infinite Durdles

The Win-Cons:

Somehow, you have managed to gain so much life, and burned the opponent down using extort/commander proc/control.

Infinite Durdles/Infinite Damage/Infinite Turns

What Will NOT be in this specific deck:

1.) Win-Cons given certain life-total. This is really, really cheesy in my opinion and these suggestions will be ignored.
