Marshal of the First Strike
Odric, Lunarch Marshal brings precise command to your battlefield plan. Casting for {3}{W}, this Legendary Creature Human Soldier turns ordinary swings into surgical assaults by referencing keywords already on your side of the board. Play Odric and the beginning of each combat becomes a moment of decision where your creatures can temporarily adopt first strike and, when applicable, an array of other combat abilities.
From a practical deckbuilding angle Odric rewards synergies and token strategies. If one creature has flying or deathtouch or any listed keyword, Odric propagates that quality across your forces at each combat step, producing repetitive value without continuous resource drain. In Innistrad lore he stands as a measured leader, a marshal whose presence clarifies engagements rather than compels recklessness. Add him to a white based midrange or anthem shell to convert single trait threats into consistent combat advantages.
