Oloro is the only creature commander that you get a benefit from without ever casting him OR another creature. Lore says that Oloro has found and guards the secret to eternal life, very befitting to build a deck that has a ton of universal creature hate. No creatures means huge value being able to play effects that normally ruin your own board so are low CMC but effectively one-sided value. Plenty of enchantments that make most decks have to play very differently. You'd be surprised how few people have an answer for things like Humility, Land Equilibrium, Invoke Prejudice, and Tabernacle and have sometimes never seen one in play. 90% non-English now! (Running Alpha/Beta where possible)

Goal is single hit life-drain eliminations, usually hitting the entire table in one turn. Main combo is a slightly convoluted one with Necropotence with Flash out (either Orrery or Leyline) drawing library, flashing in all my 0 drop mana rocks and playing tainted sigil to gain all the life back or Aetherflux Reservoir and then all the 0/1cmc spells to gain enough life to burn the table. Bolas's citadel is a huge huge enabler with either combo. New addition of Approach of the Second Sun works very very well so there is always an "out" to just tutor and end the game instead of letting it drag out.

I'm finding more often that there are "explosive" wins where I can cast one of four wheels in the deck with Smothering Tithes out. Draw 7 cards... get 21 treasures... usually enough tutors/draw/wheels to repeat and just play out the combo then. Just added in new Narset. mostly as a replacement for impulse, but her ability with the wheels is massive.

Update- The painted/doodled cards and the Wrath of Godaltered Test print are scanned in so now you can see what I actually play with :D

Yes, this is a real paper deck with no proxies. I know this isn't a budget friendly version, but I've gotten a lot of questions of "how cheap COULD you make it without the few most expensive cards and bling?" Well I made a copy of this deck here- Oloro, the Creatureless Ascetic (Budget Version) removing the bling and "swapping" only 4 or so cards and with cheaper versions of things like Counterspell. Maybe I'll make a super-budget version removing all the duals etc next.
