Olivia Voldaren Multiplayer Competitive B/R control. NOT VAMPIRE TRIBAL!!

Firstly, I've been playing EDH since 2007. EDH has been my format of choice since then. I've built all kinds of decks ranging from uber competitive to super casual, and everything in between. I'm constantly making new decks and tweaking the ones I have. I'm an EDH addict.

The first idea of this deck was to make to best B/R deck possible. (It's nice not to use Green or Blue all the time.) The idea with this deck is to use black to tutor for the red power cards: Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon , Ruination , and Stranglehold. These cards stall your opponents until you can get enough mana and cards to 'combo'. Unfortunately, the combos in B/R take a lot of mana, so lots of ramp is important. The combos are: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts , Mana Geyser + Reiterate , Jokulhaups / Obliterate + Soul of New Phyrexia, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, or Karn Liberated. The rest of the deck is ramp, draw, and control. Killing a player with Olivia attacks is possible, though not very reliable. I feel like these are the best win conditions in B/R, but if you have any suggestions i'd love to hear them.

Other good synergies: Olivia Voldaren or Goblin Sharpshooter with Basilisk Collar or Gorgon's Head Sire Of Insanity with good board position is amazing. Olivia is very capable of stealing the best creature/s on the board, which is huge.

This deck is quite a challenge in a competitive meta. Blue and green decks can simply do way more broken things for less mana. That's the biggest reason to play Olivia, for something different.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
