Oh my bad, it was rather late at night and I only gave this a quick glance over, and for some reason seeing this I thought that card might be good here for some reason upon seeing stuff like Omniscience, and Academy Rector.

Given that you have only 4 enchantments, I think you could drop Replenish for Obzedat's Aid.
Yawgmoth's Will is no slouch and will do great things, Obzedat's Aid is just another option as well, seeing as it returns a permanent from your graveyard to the battlefield, it's how I got Omniscience into play when those two cards were standard legal at the same time!

Also, I know this is one thing people can be divided on. For me personally, cards like Dark Ritual are just really bad in a format like Commander, it's only good a small percentage of the time.
Of course there will be anecdotes of where it was amazing, but in my opinion rituals that are mana and mana only have extremely narrow upside.
I realize it's not in your colours but at least Manamorphose both allows you total fixing and replaces itself.

Hi Baerik!
Thanks a lot for Your comment. I agree that Replenish is not good enough. I came to this conclusion a long time ago, and was thinking to replace it. Actually I already testing the deck without Replenish (dropped it for Yawgmoth's Will). You confirmed my slowly growing doubts about this card, thanks for that. Obzedat aid is not bad, but I think it is to slow.

As for the Dark Ritual... I understand what You trying to say.Based on my experience playing this deck, I can say that DR was very often realy helpful. Considering that the deck has no access to green, this spell often gives You a decent speed up. However I have to admit that there was some moments in some games whene I was disappointed drawing this card.
I will think about Your words about DR, maybe I will try to test the deck without it.
Thanks a lot again, for all Your comments and Your opinion on specific cards!

Hi darklord1135! Thanks for your suggestion!
Walking Ballista is a good finisher with infinite mana, but I think its not useful enough on its own.

Nice visuals, and the background is Behold the Beyond, which I love. Btw can you tell how to alter the visuals for a deck?

+1 purely for the use of the graveyard. I'm a big fan aesthetic and showing one's character, so I love your background. Could you tell how you designed your page? I've used minimal HTML for organization on my pages, but I'd like to do more.

pettigrew23 hi! And thank you for your upvote!
I will leave you a comment about how to desing deck page on your wall (user page)

This is a visually stunning primer. Any chance you could put that on my wall as well? Would love to do something similar, quite adapt with HTML and to some extent CSS.

Have you considered Zur's Weirding ? Oloro is uniquely poised to use it to entirely shut people out of the game.

Hi!
Thank you for your advice!
Zur's Weirding is an interesting spell and perhaps it would be suitable for the deck in the form in which it was long ago, when the deck had a more control orientation (stax). Today, this spell will prevent the realization of the main strategy - to win as soon as possible. The ability of my opponents to use Zur's Weirding against me is too dangerous. Even the fact that you have to play with an open hand is dangerous, since we are trying to win out of nowhere by flashing Rector or reanimating key creature cards.
Anyway thanks for Your suggestion!

I love the CSS coding on this page! Much less obnoxious than other decks I see around on the site, but still looks amazing!

This is both a great deck and great CSS work! Mine looks half as elegant.

Thank you very much, VorelNailo! I'm flattered by your praise. But, nevertheless, my deck needs an update for a long time. I hope soon I will have some free time for this.

With the tutor and counterspell levels in this deck, I doubt it comes up often, but I worry about what happens against someone else running significant control that's able to lock out or exile omniscience. I wonder if insurance in the form of enchantment copies would be worthwhile. With as many power house cards in this deck, I think a Clever Impersonator would be a worthwhile addition. Copying omniscience, another mana rock to help cast omniscience, ashen raider to screw something else up. There's also Estrid's Invocation and Copy Enchantment, which aren't as powerful unless you feel like running Enchanted Evening. Also, if anyone fires off a Blood Moon, I could see that causing problems. I was thinking of recommending the combo of Thawing Glaciers + Retreat to Coralhelm + Vizier of Tumbling Sands for an effective ramp source with your tutor base, but obviously not worthwhile running 3 basics. Love the deck and use of Oloro! Also Snap is one of my all-time favorite cards, so it's awesome to see it getting some love

Hi! And thanks for the advice!
I will definitely consider your suggestions. One thing you are right, relying on only Omniscience and shenanigans with it is too risky. So, that's why I'm always on the lookout for good backup plans. Especially considering that Flash was banned. Right now I am considering using Bolas's Citadel as another winning condition wtih cards like Sensei's Divining Top, Necropotence and Etherium Sculptor and I have one idea in mind with Bolas's Citadel, but first, beforehand, it needs to be tested. As soon as I'm ready, I'll add it to the description. Moreover, the deck needs updating for a long time.
As for the Blood Moon, I have to agree that this card does a lot of damage to this deck, but I have been playing against those who use the Blood Moon for a long time and have learned to bypass its bloody influence.

Overwhelming Splendor = "I am so disappointed!"
This is 99.9% dead draw card & really useless in multiplayer EDH imho.
No offence Delta-117.
