Obosh, the Preypiercer
Legendary Creature — Hellion Horror
Companion — Your starting deck contains only cards with odd mana values and land cards. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for {3} as a sorcery.) If a source you control with an odd mana value would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.

Strategy
Obosh is a damage-doubling engine that rewards you for building around odd mana values. Your deck is filled with efficient odd-cost creatures, spells, and sacrifice outlets that ping and burn your opponents—Obosh makes each point of damage count twice. The real beauty is the companion mechanic: you can tutor Obosh into your hand mid-game for just three mana whenever you need that doubling effect, turning any burn spell or creature into a finisher.
Your game plan is to establish a web of damage sources: creatures that deal damage when they enter or die, sacrifice outlets that ping, and direct damage spells. Early game, you're racing with efficient threats while building toward your combo turns. Once Obosh hits the table, every ping becomes a kill-shot. You're looking for explosive turns where a handful of pings or a creature sacrifice chain deals 20+ damage through the doubling effect—or simply swing with a pumped creature that deals way more than expected.
