Riders of Gavony can be useful. There are a fair few tribal EDH decks out there and you do have a fair number of humans. And card:Cathars' Crusade is pretty fun.
Oh and also, Sudden Disappearance . You have a lot of ETB effects, which makes it a great spell to hit yourself with. But you can also use it on an opponant with a lot of tokens, or +1/+1 counters, or just to empty everything they have out of the universe for you to roll on in and finish them off. That's all I got for now though! Like the look of the deck.
Aye, rider and cathar's are a bit iffy. Riders is great if your meta has a lot of tribal but otherwise can definately be less than exciting. I was thinking about this deck and I've got some more suggestions though!
For sorcery, Austere Command . Command is fantastic for the amount of options it gives you. Probably worth playing over WoG but both are very awesome.
Instants you don't have that you maybe should include: Swords to Plowshares and Crib Swap .
Creatures, Mikaeus, the Lunarch is not a bad choice, or Mirror Entity can be a pretty neat way to blast through. Reveillark is obviously not a soldier but does help you pull two of your favourite dudes back from the great beyond.
For Enchantments, Ghostly Prison is pretty neat. I think it's worth thinking about, especially if your meta has a lot of swarm type decks floating around. I actually think it's better than card:Norn's Annex, considering it costs more mana.
the Swords to Plowshares i would love to, but the 8 that i have are tied up in other decks at the moment....i suppose i could swap out some for Paths in those decks to make one available. yeah i'll do that.
Mikaeus, the Lunarch definitely, because if i remember right, creatures with X in their casting cost are considered 0 for search purposes, so I think i can tutor him with the Ranger of Eos . Mirror Entity I MUST buy. Ghostly Prison is an easy replace for card:Norn's Annex, again, thank you. Austere Command will replace Wrath of God and Crib Swap i need to get a copy of too. Thanks again for the suggestions, man, keep em comin!I was also thinking of add in a Elixir of Immortality for the card:Feldon's Cane-like effect. Worth it, or not so much in EDH since exile is more prominent than graveyard?
Glad you're liking the suggestions! Elixir of Immortality is neat, though personally I try to use Eldrazi for graveyard shuffling. Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre or Kozilek, Butcher of Truth both. They're awesome because they're huge, Annihilator is boss, and the graveyard shuffle stops you milling out. Of course if they're exiled that doesn't work but meh. In my (albeit limited) experience, there's a finite number of things that can exile, and destroy effects are way more prolific.
The main reason to use Eldrazi over the Elixir is that if you face a mill EDH deck (i'm sure these exist) and you get milled through the elixir then you're screwed. But they mill the eldrazi and... Boom!
heh, mill EDH would be a serious pain in the ass. card:Jester's Cap + Prototype Portal nonsense.
Don't you tempt me into making the deck... have enough on my plate making Reaper King deck XD
maybe try Cavern of Souls to combat the control decks out there? awesome card if you're running a lot of one subtype of creatures aka humans :P
it definately doesn't hurt you. I was wondering about card:Conjurer's Closet for ETB effects (and to untap a tapped dude) but I don't think you have enough to make it worthwhile.
Cavern of Souls i like. I know I need more non-basic lands in here too...would an Endless Horizons be worth a damn? even if it gets blown up, i really just need about 5 mana to get rolling. 7 plains is better for the Emeria, The Sky Ruin obviously.
I would much rather have Elspeth, Knight-Errant than ACoTP. I'm not saying that he's not good or that you shouldn't have him. But both would be good. Elspeth's ultimate will win you the game. She makes dudes immediately and both her non-ult abilities are +1's. And +3/+3 is better than double strike on most of your dudes (for pure damage, rather than combat fun, I mean).
If I were picking between them I'd pick Elspeth, but both are nice to have.
Endless Horizons is a pretty neat idea. Tough call though. While thinning all land in your deck is a nice theory, you don't know what everyone else will do. It's not impossible to have all your lands destroyed, or wind up drawing a ton of cards, meaning you want more mana to be able to play many spells at once (your guys may be returned to your hand for example).
I'd keep the land in there to be honest.
consider Angelic Overseer , Silverblade Paladin Mirran Crusader and Increasing Devotion
maybe consider Tithe as well
I also have a mono-white EDH deck, but am running more angels. Still keeping with your theme, I would think about a Platinum Angel maybe? My deck has Avacyn as general with enlightened tutor (or others) to bring platinum onto the field...With Avacyn and Platinum out, it becomes very difficult to kill me. You may want to experiment with something like this. But keeping with Odric as you general (he was a close second for me), I like the deck...might want a Day of Judgment also to throw in.
I like Kusari-Gama in my Odric EDH deck. Defending players will just avoid the equipped creature when I play it in other decks, but with an "activated" Odic, YOU pick who's going to block. Could be a Wrath effect for you... not sure. I run a little more pump for my soldiers (Coat of Arms , Honor of the Pure , Glorious Anthem , Daru Warchief , Veteran Swordsmith , and Shared Triumph ) so the Kusari-Gama gets do some 5+ damage pretty typically.
Speaking of equipment, Sword of the Paruns is a personal favorite of mine in weenie decks when you need to pump the whole team. It doesn't hurt that it lets you untap something like your Mother of Runes or "tap target creature'' dudes to use again. Intrepid Hero is great and is a soldier.
Also, as I'm sure you're aware of already, pick up a Precinct Captain (again, he has to damage the player, but you should be picking "no blocks" with Odric) and Phantom General works for me, but maybe not for you with less token production. Speaking of "no blocks," what about True Conviction ?
You're casting a ton of humans and soldiers. What about a Door of Destinies ?
Oh, and add Commander Eesha (How'd I miss that!?). Can block giant creatures and can sneak in for major damage, and is a soldier and a bird (Aven Brigadier 's best friend).
Leonin Sun Standard can pump the whole team too.
Maybe a Preeminent Captain and as a combat trick Frontline Strategist , mostly just cool because you can block and kill without losing your own guys.
Well, if you're going for the tirbal solider/human deal then Door of Destinies and card:Konda's Banner are cool tribal artifacts to have on hand. Also a must have is Hero of Bladehold , would work perfectly with your deck theme. Cool build! +1 for using odric as your commander!
