Lots of card draw, lots of removal, and lots of lifegain. Seriously, what's not to like?

This deck was designed to try and have an answer to everything that an opponent could possibly throw at me, either through extensive card draw or tutoring. Since it takes a lot of time and resources to put the various pieces together, this deck is HEAVILY focused on removal/control and card draw.

"But Jules, you're not utilizing Oloro to his full capacity!"

Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. I use Oloro as a passive trigger to keep my life up while I bide my time to pump out overpowered spells and creatures with crazy abilities. I don't run a lot of creatures, so I made sure that each one is a bomb.

I run A LOT of removal spells and tutor spells so that I can keep the board clean while I search for what I need given the situation at hand. Unfortunately, this makes me a big target because I'm constantly destroying or exiling everything that my opponents bring out, and they don't like that at all. However, after turn 7 or 8, if I'm not completely and utterly incapacitated, then I become an enormous threat that opponents have a hard time taking care of due to the ridiculous removal/tutor/draw suite that I run.

Most games I never even cast Oloro. He is there simply for lifegain, access to Esper colors, and as a last resort for card draw if I'm really desperate and hurting. Basically, if I do end up casting him, it's probably because I'm losing the game and need some extra card draw to get me back in it. If I'm winning the game, he never comes on the board because there are better card draw engines in this deck that are probably already in play, thus making him irrelevant.

Seriously though, this deck will make you a huge target. You will be hated by your playgroup. Play at your own risk, and don't get pissed when everyone gangs up on you because you are board-wiping and then dropping fatties every other turn. The "everyone truces against me" hate is strong in this one. Just don't say that I didn't warn you.
