Overview:
A life gain strategy deck led by Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, focusing on generating value through life gain triggers while utilizing various payoffs including card draw, life drain effects, and creature buffs.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish a steady stream of life gain through Oloro, Ageless Ascetic's passive ability and various other sources. The accumulated life total serves as both a resource and win condition through cards like Sanguine Bond, Vizkopa Guildmage, and Serra Avatar. Card advantage is generated through life-payment effects and life-gain triggers. The deck can win through either combat damage with buffed creatures or through draining opponents' life totals.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to aggressive strategies that can outpace its setup time. Cards that prevent life gain such as Tainted Remedy or Everlasting Torment can severely hamper the deck's strategy. The mana base is notably slow with many lands entering tapped, which further reduces the deck's ability to respond to early threats.
Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

- Well of Lost Dreams
- Vizkopa Guildmage
- Serra Avatar
- Sol Ring
- Toxic Deluge

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual level, with a clear gameplan but lacking the speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. While it includes some powerful cards like Sol Ring and Toxic Deluge, the overall strategy is relatively slow and requires multiple turns to set up its engine. The deck would struggle against focused decks (6.0+) due to its slower mana base and limited interaction, but could hold its own against other casual decks through its steady value generation and life gain strategy.
Final power level rating: 4.0 - 4.5
