Whenever you gain life, you pay pay 1.
If you do, draw a card and each opponent loses 1 life.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if Oloro is in the command zone, you gain 2 life.
I have divined your fate. You shall find your nemesis, a catastrophic clash. Devastation, misery for all, the unleashing of horrible curses and ferocious powers. Ruin, such ruin that I dream each night of blessed peace, assured that the universe is in balance once more...
I think lifegain presently has the tools to be a very solid deck if you build combo-lifegain. The real question with this guy is whether or not having blue is worth losing the combo potential of Teysa.
Wow, this creature is very awesome! I definitely would like to use him as the general of my black/blue/white deck, but I currently am using Sen Triplets, and am very fond of them, so I am not certain that I can make such a change. I do, however, like how this card is providing benefits for lifegain, which itself is not always the best of strategies, and also how each general for this set does seem to have some ability that relates to the command zone, which is another unique and fascinating aspect of this format.
The new previews for this set are very exciting, thus far, and I cannot wait to see more of them!

With Exquisite Blood, you gain 2 life during your upkeep, then you can repeatedly draw a card for (1) each time during that upkeep, and each opponent loses 1 and you gain 3 each time you do it.
I'm loving all these engine-type generals they're spoiling. It's a shame we won't be seeing any wedge generals this time around. Hopefully they'll have some enemy-colour generals at least.

I like how this new cycle has a "being in the command zone matters" theme and that they don't all do the same thing

Well one thing is for sure. He's the best Commander to play "just for the colors".

"Personally I love high-riak, low-reqars gambles. Life's best with a decent amount of riak. And f*** reqars."
I agree, Oloro would've been a neat UWR commander. I think he fully fits the Esper flavor though, and this set is shards colors after all.
