Help me out here - why run Survivors' Encampment in a mono-white deck? You have no use for nonwhite mana and no card that cares about deserts. Wouldn't it be better to replace them with basic Plains? This also doesn't really feel like a sensible home for Reliquary Tower, since you have exactly one way to draw more than one card per turn. White isn't known for getting a huge hand size.
If you want to run a cool nonbasic land, Emeria, The Sky Ruin is a good fit for slow decks with big creatures like this. You'd probably want to drop the Seraph Sanctuaries for Plains if you ran it, but being able to bring an angel back every turn is huge!
Speaking of being slow and big... I think you might have too many expensive cards and not enough to do early in a game. Big powerful angels are great, but... they won't help you if your opponent can beat you down before you have enough mana to cast one, you know? I'd consider cutting out some of the weaker "big" cards - such as Angel of Renewal, Angel of the God-Pharaoh, Seraph of the Suns and Voice of the Provinces - for cheaper cards that can help you survive long enough to play your big cards. Good options I'd consider include Wall of Omens, Condemn and Wing Shards. Another option is getting to play your big cards faster with some acceleration like Marble Diamond, Worn Powerstone or Oketra's Monument.
Hope this advice helps your deck be all that it can be!

You said in your thread in the deck help forum that you wanted to get it down to 66, so that is 18 cuts.
Trespasser's Curse - Curses feel unnecessarily antagonistic and this one doesn't do much.
Curator's Ward - Unlikely to ever draw you cards.
Ashes of the Abhorrent - Not good unless your meta is very graveyard heavy.
Thaumatic Compass Flip - Frontside is bad, I find maze of ith to not be necessary in oloro.
Prowler's Helm - Not a very good piece of evasion equipment.
Wing Shards - Bad except against voltron.
Nightmare's Thirst - Hardly ever going to kill anything of importance.
Mana Leak - The type of games you are likely to play with this deck tax counters won't matter.
Convolute - See above.
Healing Grace - 1 shot small amounts of lifegain aren't worth a card slot.
Dark Ritual - Rituals aren't great in commander unless it is to ramp directly into a victory and you have no insta-wins.
Vampire Sovereign - ETB doesn't justify paying the price for the body in a non-blink deck.
Angel of the God-Pharaoh - 6 mana 4/4 isn't worth it just because it has cycling.
Archangel Avacyn Flip - Boros color identity and illegal in this deck.
Deadeye Brawler - Just run Shadowmage Infiltrator if you want the effect.
Diamond Mare - Going to gain you much less life than you think it will.
Underworld Coinsmith - Effects aren't strong enough.
Bonus round, these cards are all relatively weak and I really think that maybe you wanted angel tribal and didn't want to say it was a tribal deck.

In general, my feedback is that you have too many one-shot lifegain effects for small amounts (1-3 life). These don't do enough - you have to have multiple other cards on board before they really help you/hurt others.
Cards to cut:
- Angel of Mercy - Angel of the Dawn - Angel of the God-Pharaoh - Seraph of the Suns - Serra Angel - Urgoros, the Empty One - Vampire Sovereign - Dark Ritual - Healing Grace - Fountain of Renewal - Manalith - Prowler's Helm - Behind the Scenes - Ill-Gotten Inheritance - Trespasser's Curse - Dovin Baan
A few cards to think about adding:
- Herald of War - (one of) Aegis Angel / Deathless Angel / Angelic Arbiter - Blood Baron of Vizkopa - Greed - Commander's Sphere - Alhammarret's Archive - Comeuppance
Last, I'll just note that Oloro is already not a beloved commander, and you're playing a lot of counter magic. You might want to think about inserting some W/U pillowfort, cause everyone is going to be coming for you.

yo homie. so lets talk about how to improve this deck. first thing: you need to get down to 60 cards. if you have more than 60 it just makes it harder for you to consistently play what cards you want to. I have a few ideas on how to do this. first, you don't really need that many lands. try going down to 10x Swamp, 10x Plains, and 4x Forsaken Sanctuary. as a general rule of thumb, you only need 23 or 24 lands. Next thing, you probably have a few too many late game cards. you have a lot of 5 and 6 cost cards. you might want to focus more on early game cards, like Gifted Aetherborn and Bishop's Soldier. They bring a lot of value to you early and they stay relevant late into the game. maybe try taking out your Angel of the God-Pharaoh and a single Victory's Herald. to be honest though, since you are still new to the game, really just do whatever you think is most fun and start improving decks as you get more experience.

Used the fix card page to submit several updates to cards that appear incorrectly in the draft sim. Specifically, Angel of the God-Pharaoh, Shefet Dunes and Heart-Piercer Manticore are at the wrong rarity, and Brambleweft Behemoth should be marked as excluded from draft.
In addition to this, Rhonas the Indomitable and Rhonas's Monument both appear in HOU. They need to be removed. I'm not seeing a way to indicate that in the fix card page.

Quick update:
- -3x Angel of the God-Pharaoh, +3 Shimmerscale Drake; they both have a 2 cycling cost, but I can actually hardcast Shimmerscale Drake if it comes down to it. Either way, it's a flying creature that can be brought back as a 4/4
- I also added a rough sideboard. Drake Haven can give us a back-up win con in grindier games, Sweltering Suns gives us a cheap boardwipe for the early game or a cycle trigger in the late game (of note, the 4/4 tokens will survive), Nimble Obstructionist handles pesky Scavenger Grounds and other energy activations, and the three defeats are more for flavor atm.
