---

Just your average hardcore control deck, fairly competitive focusing on lockdown and card advantage. The strategy should be fairly simple, "FIND ANSWERS". Oloro is the base because lifegain even by 2 per turn does slow death via aggressive strategies even in EDH, and using any excess life to gain more potent card draw via Black's costly but potent draw effects. When things are rough or you didn't get your own draw engine, Oloro, Ageless Ascetic also functions as a draw engine on its own (as it consistantly procs it's own draw ability).

Win Conditions

• Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact / Jace, Wielder of Mysteries

• Jace, the Mind Sculptor can also be a win depending on the situation
