My oldest, most expensive, and most iconic deck. circa. 2015

Oloro, Ageless Ascetic

Archetype: Control

Themes(s): Pillowfort, Lifegain, Life Loss

Sub-Themes(s): Relaxation, Light Stax

What I love about Oloro is that he doesn't have to come out to be effective.

For this deck, I have more freedom and flexibility in its design than I would normally be with decks that revolve around the commander.

Oloro just relaxes and chills out, and I do the same.

He's built to handle threats and negate problems while also having many win conditions. He was built to deal with the bullshit I played against in High School, especially against stax.

It's not meant to be that competitive, it's just a high-power deck for when we play serious matches in my playgroup. Suggestions are appreciated, but I do have a lot of pet cards I probably won't take out.

Win Conditions

• Classic Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond Combo (10 mana).

• Exquisite Blood + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose (8 mana).

These combos kill everyone but require a life-gain trigger or an opponent losing life to initiate the combo loop.

• Tainted Sigil + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + you losing tons of life, or an opponent losing tons of life.

• Sanguine Bond + Tainted Sigil + losing tons of life, or an opponent losing tons of life.

This combo can kill one player, and regain all your lost life. Just needs you or someone to lose all their life, then trigger Tainted Sigil.

• Beacon of Immortality + Sanguine Bond or Beacon of Immortality + Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

Self-Explanatory.

• Aetherflux Reservoir + Exquisite Blood and 51+ life. You can pop everyone and then regain all the life you use to kill somebody.

• Felidar Sovereign or Aetherflux Reservoir to win with your surplus of life.

• Aetherflux Reservoir + Tainted Sigil and 51+ life can deal 100 damage, and kill at least two people.

• Classic Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top

• Sorin Markov and some way of dealing 10 damage.
