An idea for what I would do with oloro. Thoughts?

[JordanCirk]

 {Serra Ascendant}

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

{Test of Endurance} and {Felidar Sovereign}. {Sorin Markov} is funny too.

[SoshiGanrou]

Ok I knew I was missing the judgement and the sovern. I feel kinda stupid haha. Any other suggestions? I can't seem to find anything to cut for the accendant either

Maybe just cut cancel?

{Serra Ascendant}

I don't play or look in the commander section much but I was gonna suggest this too.

I would think this card would be in any commander deck running {W}.  Do you guys think this card is kind of cheating given the starting life total?  I kind of think {felidar sovereign} fits that same category and I would feel cheap winning an EDH game with him.

i think {serra ascendant} and {felidar sovereign} are on completely differently levels in edh. {serra ascendent} is just a super fast beater, annoying, but something that can be dealt with. also note, that late game, {serra ascendant} can be a pretty terrible draw. {felidar sovereign} on the other hand, normally is in life gain builds, so when it comes out, their life total is usually substantially higher than 40 and so the only way to prevent it is to immediately kill the cat beast barring a {platinum angel} or an {eon hub} or something.

[SoshiGanrou]

While yes it is a cheap win with those cards I know the players I play with will have ways to deal with it so I don't feel terrible about playing those cards. I updated it again and found a card or two to cut for some of the suggested.

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Cut Cancel for {Hinder} to counter and tuck a commander. Also {Condemn} is good for that and if you include both of them, put in {Tunnel Vision} to mill their whole deck.

[The1337Magician]

In my play group, since two of us run Oloro, we amended  {Serra Ascendant} to 50 life. First turn 6/6 flying lifelink is stupid broken. Now, sixth turn or sooner is more accurate. I also run  {Divinity of Pride}, {Felidar Sovereign}, and  {Test of Endurance} but haven't had too much hate because they are more high costed. Same goes for  {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}, but when an opponent gets below 10 life, I don't see that helping too much when I can just  {Exsanguinate} or something.

[SoshiGanrou]

Oh! Saucey! I like that. I'll throw in {exsanguate} and completly forgot about uraborg and cabal coffers. Helps drain everyone quickly. Haha

Don't forget  {Debt to the Deathless} and  {Death Grasp}.
