The once great, mono white powerhouse received an additional color and an exciting new creature type during his most recent romp though the perilous world of Innistrad. Unfortunately for many, the exciting top half of Odric, Blood-Cursed is completely let down by his mediocre text box. Blood? Who needs blood? If Odric had made treasure tokens, he would have been a Dockside Extortionist in the command zone. Clues? An interesting and powerful build around. But blood? The worst of the artifact tokens? What on earth can we do with that? This disappointing reveal has left Odric in the dust, with a paltry 417 decks on EDHRec. However, if one can stomach their initial disappointment and peer past the veil of mediocrity, they will find that Odric, Blood Cursed is a unique and powerful artifacts matter commander.

This turns all of your creatures into threats, and makes it difficult to answer your board without wiping it.

Aggro is not easy to pull off in Commander and more aggressive decks at the table mean a relatively smaller pool of life to deal with. Your worst matchups are spell based combo decks as they often ignore your interaction, as well as control decks that can repeatedly wipe your board.\n\nYour general gameplan with the deck is to stick 4 or so keywords on the board early, and then find an artifacts payoff (Karn, Urza's Saga, Thousand Moon's Smithy) to play. Fit Odric into the equation when you feel like you are able to, as his ETB is good prior to playing a payoff or afterwards. You are often winning the game through exorbitantly large constructs, or by pumping evasive creatures with Dowsing Device, Secluded Starforge or Nettlecyst. Generally, you want to attack the table evenly until you can delete one player from the game. Target the most threatening person and then hope that anyone who has stumbled at the table won't be able to regroup before you smack them to death. This deck is not the fastest aggro deck ever built, but can put consistent, oppressing pressure on the board and then hold up interaction. You get \"out of control\" in a much more inconspicuous manner than other popular aggro commanders (Krenko, Edgar etc.) and can fly under the radar while other players point their interaction elsewhere. Seldom is there a singular problem on your board. More often than not, you will find that players struggle to dismantle your boardstate through single target removal once you have established yourself. I have had multiple players target Odric himself with a removal spell the first time playing against him because they don't know where to target, which is an unbelievably exciting moment. To conclude, build your boardstate, begin applying pressure, and leverage card filtering to find what you need as you transition from early to mid to late game boardstates. Do your best to not overextend unless you have a protection spell in hand. \n\nOther Versions"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nOdric is a surprisingly versatile commander with a few different pathways you can take.
