Deck discussion for Oloro (EDH)

Chromatic Lantern has the same cmc as Obelisk of Esper, taps for the same mana, AND fixes all your lands. There's no reason not to run it over Obelisk unless you're trying to save three dollars :) At the very least swap it for Darksteel Ingot as that also costs three, makes the same mana, and is indestructible as a bonus.

Terminus is a really good card, but you aren't running Divining Top or anything to fix your draw so it's a lot harder to hit miracle, especially in a draw-heavy deck like Oloro. Since the odds aren't great you are going to hit miracle, I'd run Merciless Eviction for the same CMC. Exile is more or less going to function the same as tuck now that you can't bury commanders, which means that in exchange for giving up a fairly small chance to hit miracle you also get the option to hit planeswalkers, artifacts or enchantments. That seems to be a worthy trade-off.

Dissipate is probably slightly better than Undermine. I'd trade exiling the spell over a shock. But I hate seeing people recur stuff from their graveyard. No means no!

Utter End does cost one more than Mortify, but it hits any non-land target, and it's an exile spell for those pesky Blightsteel Colossus or Darksteel whatever or Avacyn, etc.

It's not a game breaker or anything but Tolaria West would be useful here. Being able to tutor up Cabal Coffers or Urborg if you have Coffers already or even Reliquary Tower if you have a fistfull of cards can be invaluable, and it doesn't suck up a card slot other than displacing an island.

Oh, and respect for not running Felidar Soverign or Sanguine Bond :)

Hey man, thanks for the feedback! I totally didn't even think of chromatic latern. Kinda silly in hindsight.

Yeah, I was on the fence about using Top initially, but I don't think it has enough to interact with in this deck. I agree with you here too, just dropped Terminus for Eviction.

Dissipate and Utter End are two spells I was definitely on the fence about while building this list. I guess that Utter End's flexibility probably makes it the better choice. Also, now that you say it, exile sounds a ton better than a little burn in an EDH game.

I totally didn't think of Tolaria West. It's in. Without question.

Also, no Sovereign or Sanguine cuz I'm not about to be that guy. Running Oloro is mean enough. :)
