Escape has never been farther away.

This is a prison style deck that uses a combination of passive control and removal to slow the game down enough to assemble a wincon and go for the game. A word to the wise is to not try and win before the game has been significantly slowed down. P.S. I'm intend on keeping this deck creatureless

Locks and Wincons

This section will go over the wincons of the deck. There are really only 3 true ways to win with this deck, but sometimes you can get lucky after you assemble a lock and your opponents will scoop or kill each other. The 3 win condition of the deck are assembling the Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood combo and win during your upkeep from Oloro's passive life gain trigger. There is also Test of Endurance or Approach of the Second Sun provide two more easily accessible ways to end the game.There are also a few soft lock and one hard lock. The soft locks consist of getting Solitary Confinement as well as any on board draw engine such as Well of Lost Dreams or Honden of Seeing Winds or Greed. As well as Solemnity and Force Bubble. The hard lock is the combination of Solemnity and Decree of Silence.

There is also Sensei's Divining Top, Plea for Guidance, Idyllic Tutor, Mystic Remora, Rhystic Study, Diabolic Tutor, Mystical Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, Lim-Dul's Vault, and Increasing Ambition all help find the pieces you need to assemble your combos.

Slowing The Game Down

Out side of Oloro giving you free life here is a list of the best card for slowing the game down in esper and why they are included:

Sphere of Safety, Propaganda , Ghostly Prison, Dissipation Field, and Collective Restraint all work towards making people not want to attack you.

Humility, Karmic Justice, Gideon's Intervention, Rest in Peace, Nevermore, Blind Obedience, Authority of the Consuls, Greater Auramancy , Library of Leng, Defense Grid, Aura of Silence, and Cursed Totem are all great for disrupting any game as well as ways your opponents might use you and ward off certain shenanigans.

Honden of Cleansing Fire and Venser's Journal give you some more life gain.

Obzedat's Aid and Open the Vaults give you some recovery options for the late game.

The overload of removal includes Utter End, Terminus, Oblivion Ring, Damnation, Supreme Verdict, Merciless Eviction, Wrath of God, Spreading Plague, Cyclonic Rift, Toxic Deluge, Lethal Vapors, Tainted AEther , and Detention Sphere

The maybeboard is all the cards I'm considering but haven't found room for yet
