Innistrad is home to vampires, werewolves, demons, and countless other creatures of the night.

Odric, Lunarch Marshal is a 3/3 legendary Human Soldier that costs three generic and one white mana.

But when they all bring something different to the table, they can all shine!

Odrich, Lunarch with a handful of key cards over his left shoulder.

While you have the potential to stack up a lot of keyword abilities, some are superior.

When in doubt,focus on the more valuable abilities.

Finally, it’s important to note thatOdric only spreads abilities around at the beginning of combat.

Odric, Master Tactician, by Michael Komarck

If an opponent uses Wrath of God during their first main phase, all of your creatures are gone.

Here’s how to play the Edgar Markov Commander Deck In Magic: The Gathering!

Bitterthorn, Nissa’s Animus has the same effect, but higher casting and equip costs.

On the bright side, it does create a 0/0 Germ token to attach itself to.

And since it doesn’t tap, in many waysit’s more effective than mana rocks like Mind Stone.

Oketra’s Monument has a similar effect but only applies to white creatures.

Odric, Lunarch Marshal MTG Card.

Still, that makes up nearly a quarter of the deck.

Draw

Much like ramp, white doesn’t have a lot of great ways to draw cards.

During each of your upkeeps Wojek Investigatorgenerates Clue tokens, which you might sacrifice afterward to draw a card.

To keep getting more clues, it’s important tokeep an eye on your opponents.

If you draw too many cards, you won’t get any fresh Clue tokens.

Use your balance ramp to get a few Plains into play, then start drawing.

This deck doesn’t have any combos or weird win conditions.

Instead, it relies on good old-fashioned combat damage.

War Room and Throne of Eldraine are easy additions to most mono-colored decks.

The Sword of the Animist card, from Commander Masters.

For three generic mana and one life, you cantap War Room to draw a card.

Throne of Eldraine does double duty asa mana rock to cast white spells and as a draw enabler.

Akroma, Angel of Wrath was an early “keyword soup” creature.

The Bitterthorn, Nissa’s Animus card, from March of the Machine Commander.

Look for smaller creatures with multiple keyword abilities, like Rune-Lurker Bat.

you could have several in play before you cast Odric, Lunarch Marshal.

Once one creature has it, they’ll all get it in each combat.

Extraplanar Lens, from Mirrodin.

And that means thatyou can use a variety of boardwipes safely!

Ondu Inversion destroys all nonland permanents, so it’sa good way to deal with artifact and enchantress decks.

Ravnica at War, on the other hand,hits all multicolored permanents.

Snow-covered Plains

The Crystalline Giant card, from New Capena Commander

The Rune-Lurker Bat card, from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
