Unfair is a strong word. It is not unfair, it is lame in Commander. And cards like it are lame. Someone could easily play a dual land (gain 1 life) and get that card out turn 3 or 4 (Sol ring or other ramp or both) and win the game with literally zero thought or skill.
And with commanders like oloro, where you gain two life each turn, it's doubly lame.
Buuuuut, there are many cards like it in magic. I don't think it's worth banning. But I don't think it represents someone's skill or genius in commander either. You start with the health you need...
If someone wins with it, oh well. But I personally wouldn't be taking the loss hard or with any ounce of salt or giving them kudos for designing such a spectacular win condition.
