Creature-based early game value turns into late game beaters! Due to power creep and efficiency creep, my mantra for commander lately has been: "every card must do at least two things". This deck aims to capitalize on doing two things at once by using Odric, Lunarch Marshal to turn early game value pieces into lategame beaters. With Odric, every keyword on those creatures becomes shared across all your creatures. By the time you play Odric (often with some protection), you should be able to transfer 3+ keywords across all your creatures. Being in white, the keywords you can most commonly get are flying, vigiliance, first strike, and lifelink. To round out those options, there's equipment and a few creatures to give trample, haste, deathtouch, double strike, and indestructible. When keywords alone aren't enough, use some anthems to power up your guys. Since Odric triggers on every combat, we're always going to be well-positioned to outlast combat damage. Finally, a sneaky tech option is to give a creature indestructible before going to combat, then let Odric trigger to give the team indestructible, and then use a board wipe in your second main phase. Depending on how effective this combo is in actual games, I may rebalance some aspects of the deck to make it happen more often.
