As you would think, this is an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck based around life gain; but this deck takes it to the extreme. I've built this deck with only cards that gain life. So no matter what spells you play, you're sure to be gaining some life!

In doing this, though, I had to make some sub-par choices during deck building: Chastise instead of Path to Exile, Divine Offering over Disenchant, etc. This does bring down the competitiveness of the deck but cranks up the fun. Who doesn't like having 400 life??

Your worst enemy in a deck like this is Commander Damage. No matter how much life you gain, 21 Commander Damage can still wipe you out of the game. I do have cards like Righteous Aura and Glacial Chasm in here to help mitigate Commander Damage, but the options are truly limited for stopping Commander Damage so I would save these cards specifically for Voltron commanders if at all possible.

On a scale of how competitive it is, I'd give Oloro - Insane Life Gain a 6 out of 10.

On a scale of how fun it is, I'd give Oloro - Insane Life Gain a 7 out of 10.
