Oloro vs. Sen triplets
Commander (EDH) forum

Im thinking om making a commander deck based off of white board wipes mixed with blue/black mill so I was just wondering what the best ability would be from my perspective I see Oloro, Ageless Ascetic being basically free life/ card draw while on the other hand Sen Triplets allow for basically wreckage of their hand and turn 5 they literally cant do anything on your turn.
I'ma be real, milling is weak in Commander. You've got nearly twice as many cards to go through, and it's usually against more than one opponent.
If you really want to go that route, though, there are enough boardwipes in black (and blue, if you count things like Cyclonic Rift and Upheaval ) that you could probably skip out on the white altogether, if that's all you wanted the white for. In that case, Lazav, Dimir Mastermind , Oona, Queen of the Fae , and Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker all do serious work as mill commanders.
If you're sold on Esper colors, I'd go with Oloro, hands down. Card does serious work, and you never even have to play it to get value out of it.

I'd say Dromar, the Banisher as he is Esper coloured and does a little board-wiping. Both Sen Triplets and Oloro, Ageless Ascetic will probably get a lot of hate at the table as they want to keep oloros life at a manageable level and everyone hates having their hands wrecked or being shut out of the game. My advice? Go with Dromar, the Banisher .
