This deck has quickly developed from a bumbling grind fest into a grind fest with some punch behind it. My thanks to everyone who has contributed!

Any man who would take up the standard of Oloro, Ageless Ascetic shall find himself besieged. Bring all your guile and forces for you shall need them. He may heal you, but he will also paint you as an enemy to be taken down. He may bring forth knowledge, but the wounds upon others he inflict shall bring forth their ire. Will you still bear his standard?

Playing Oloro, Ageless Ascetic may as well scream "Attack me!". In a political game like Commander I've elected myself as Dictator. The deck is chock full of lifegain, draw engines and other goodies to keep myself from falling first. 2 life per turn is a godsend, especially if I can begin locking down the board. However, I do play the long game and winning is never fast.

There's a possibility to enter an infinite Time Warp using Tamiyo, the Moon Sage and her ultimate. However, if someone let's the combo go off, I think I deserve that win since the chances are so slim.

Ulvhedner has warned me that using Magister Sphinx and Sorin Markov for their abilities to bring a life total to 10 is frowned upon. To be frank, if I'm going to get hit, then my opponents deserved to be hit back. I need to win some how, and this furthers my ends

1. Bow-ties are cool.

2. The grinding ability of this deck seems like it could drag everything on forever.

3. Magic is WAR!
