Odric is salvageable if you add, (1) sacrifice a blood token: give all creatures you control( a keyword from list of keywords) from a creature you control until the end of your next turn. It still keeps his general status in lore , does boros tricks, strong enough for the limit of paying mana and sacrificing blood, and actually plays well with his newfound vampirism. wizards did this guy dirty and it's gotta change. I'll probably make a proxy for it

Thanks for sharing and telling this story. As a huge Odric and Thalia and Innastrad fan I was so saddened when I heard that he had become a vampire.. but this story gives me hope that he literally can be a “blade” character moving forward. I was honestly disappointed that Thalia didn’t get a new card (just a reprint) and Odrics card was very bad but.. when we eventually revisit innastrad again I’m hoping that they will be more prevalent in the main story like they have been in the past. The overall idea of midnight hunt and crimson vow was cool but all these bloody PWs taking up the limelight was annoying.
@anlize34222 жыл бұрын
Well... I guess that explains how Odric fell to vampirism. I wonder how will he be able to hold his sanity and morals. Talia has one hell of a job ahead of her. Depending on how Crimson Vow Ends, we might see a cliffhanger for a new Innistrad. There's a lot of thing left open.

Not gonna lie his card isn’t as bad as people say it is. It’s useful in draft or sealed, in a Boros or naya beatdown commander deck it’s pretty good to get card selection, and as a commander it’s pretty solid for Boros. Love him, and his cards.
@juanantoniojimenez9272 жыл бұрын
I will not argue about commander because that depends on the power level of the table. I would say he is a little slow as commander. You need to play Keyword soup + Flicker/Blink stuff and of cause the payoff to get value of him but it is doable just slow. I can see a nice reanimaterish play style with him or just go with the artifact theme. I just think that there are better commanders for that but hey is EDH. If you really like the character why not. But limited? I cannot see why you should ever pick him. The whole boros limited theme was 'attacking with 2 creatures'. In addition the blood token strategy is in Rakdos (and sadly mostly in black just 2 red ones). You could splash white but not for him, when you have so much better blood token generators in those colors. The dependency on keywords for a mediocre effect is just backbreaking. There are only 22 common/uncommon in the whole set in this 3 colors with keywords and there are repeating like 7 of them have flying. He would do nothing if you are behind and getting 1 or 2 blood tokens will not cut it. When not playing black the whole blood token thing is nearly useless in limited. I mean yeah you could discard a land when you have enough Lands on the battlefield for an additional card of 1 mana but your deck will be compromised with card to make him work or he will be a 3/3 vanilla/generate one blood token for 3 Mana. There are cards better suited for limited like Belligerent Guest a common, Bloodtithe Harvester an uncommon with similar stats for 2 mana, Falkenrath Forebear a rare that can do something with the blood tokens in addition to generate some nearly effortless or Voldaren Bloodcaster which is just superior in any means. I don't know why new Odric has this kind of effect. I mean yeah I get it, the effect is similar to the last iteration of him. But the old Odric was kind of a battlefield specialist or war leader and when he was in command your creature were better in fighting (sharing their keywords, doing some teamwork). This one is doing what? He sucks the blood of your creatures with different keywords so you can have some vials around? The whole blood token stuff doesn't fit the character or the color combination he is in (in the set and as a whole because there is not enough vampire/blood token stuff in boros). It feels forced and I hate to say it but lazy. Could an additional keyword make him better? Sure but still why does he support a mechanic that requires different colors to work? In short: I wouldn't run him in limited or as commander at the moment. If the blood token support in this colors increase in the future maybe. Arterial Alchemy from the commander precon is a great direction for example. I can see why somebody would run him in commander, tho. There was a keyword soup deck in Boros with the Partner commander Akroma, Vision of Ixidor and Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh. I think he would be okay there.

Mark my words, when next we return to Innistrad, it will be because of New Phyrexia making waves there! Then, and only then, when that happens, will we get a much larger role of the Order of Saint Traft, led by Thalia, and Blade-ric (what I'm calling Odric now, because he is literally the "Blade" vampire of this plane). I also believe that Blade-ric and Sorin Markov will have some "beef" to cook, involving Olivia Voldaren and Edgar Markov, who are both the new vampire villains of the Plane. But I believe that New Phyrexia will have designs on this plane as well. We might just see Sheoldred be the New Phyrexian threat, this time around (as we have already gotten Vorinclex, and Jin-Gitaxias). And a "black" Phyrexian praetor would just be so sickeningly appropriate for a dark plane like Innistrad!
