When I started playing Oloro, the deck was black and white heavy. It was built around Oloro's lifegain ability, with classic combos like Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond, or Test of Endurance. There was also a fair amount of big creatures like Serra Avatar, Kokusho, the Evening Star, Wurmcoil Engine and other lifelink creatures. The deck was very slow was regularly crushed by the much quicker decks of my competitive meta.
So I decided to drop the combos and a lot of fatties. This version is still built around lifelink creatures, but is much more agressive than before. As proposed by bigbearlyke in his Time Deck, I integrated cantrips, draw sorceries and instants and extra turns. The result is a mostly blue, versatile and fast deck, which draws a lot and kills in various ways. Given that I don t commit to a particular strategy, it s far from optimal, but its a lot of fun. Here s what it looks like.
