This is a deck I've been wanting to build ever since I saw Olivia, and I had technically built it before she existed as my VERY first EDH deck ever. The goal is essentially a lot of control and getting in with someone's large creature. I used a lot of assistance from Skittles2.0 in his Olivia Thread as inspiration to get off my butt and build mine.
After some thinking, I notice there is plenty of life gain so my desire to avoid cards like Necropotence is lessened now. I'd appreciate any and all advice. This is suppose to be a slightly more casual multiplayer deck in comparison to my Omnath deck. So... what do you think?
EDIT - March 20th, 2013: I've tweaked this deck a lot here and there. The list is different a little than what I play in real life, but only because I don't want to pull out two fetch lands I don't have extras of from another deck. I cut vampiric tutor because it was in another deck and I didn't want to share cards, but that deck is on the verge of being 100% retired so I'll probably need to put it back in. I also want to play Crypt Ghast. What do you think?

Also when I'm Gatling Gunning the board with a Basilisk Collar-equipped Olivia, it's nice having Grave Betrayal on the board.
My Olivia deck actually goes heavy on the Deathtouch subtheme with other gangsters like Kumano, Master Yamabushi, Vampiric Dragon and Wojek Embermage. The first two like Heartstone too. But that's just my direction.
What's the Bloodline Keeper doing for you?
