This deck originated from my Nicol Bolas list. My grixis list was able to generate insane amounts of value, but lost a lot of life due to early attacks and self dmg. The change to oloro was done to mitigate the lifeloss and I have not regretted it yet.

The goal is to outvalue the board and be able to recover from almost any boardstate to still win the game by slamming the combo.

Combos included are the interaction between Paradox Engine Sensei's Divining Top and Voltaic Key to draw the deck and then win with Aetherflux Reservoir . The Reservoir kill also works with Bolas's Citadel and either Sensei's Divining Top or Necropotence .

The Same Combo can be assembled with Future Sight , Ugin, the Ineffable and Sensei's Divining Top .

Should the Reservoir be unavailable for any reason, a win with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries is still possible as well. This works best in combination with either Azami, Lady of Scrolls or Arcanis the Omnipotent and Mind Over Matter .
