Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
First strike (This creature deals combat damage before creatures without first strike.) Whenever Odric and at least three other creatures attack, you choose which creatures block this combat and how those creatures block.
“Control combat math with a team of creatures and Odric's tactical genius.”
Odric, Master Tactician turns combat into a puzzle where you control the outcome. Your strategy is to build a wide board of creatures—ideally four or more—so that when you attack, Odric's ability lets you dictate exactly which enemy creatures block and how. This turns even unfavorable math into guaranteed damage, letting you slip through for lethal or force bad blocks that leave your opponents' creatures dead. Since you need bodies on the battlefield, the deck leans into token generation, go-wide strategies, and efficient white creatures that pressure early while you set up.
The core gameplan is straightforward: make tokens, swing with a team, use Odric to assign blocks in your favor, and crash through for damage. You're essentially playing an aggressive white deck with a combat-control twist. Win conditions are combat damage (your army) and commander damage (Odric swings through). The deck doesn't need to be complicated—just consistent creature generation and a few anthem effects to make your team bigger. Once you're attacking with five or more creatures, combat becomes a formality.
