Odric, Lunarch Marshal + Xenagos, God of the Revels = hasty team?
Asked by yant0028 5 years ago
Scenario: I cast Primeval's Glorious Rebirth returning a bunch of Legendary creatures to play, among which are Xenagos, God of Revels, Odric, Lunarch Marshal, Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder.
Bruse gave Ghalta Lifelink and Double Strike. I go to combat and Xenagos and Odric both trigger. I choose to stack them so that Xenagos will resolve first, giving Ghalta Haste. When I go to attackers, can I swing with all my newly-returned creatures thanks to Odric granting them all Haste (and Lifelink, Trample, Double Strike, etc. etc.)? Is that an intervening if clause in Odric's text box that prevents this from working?
Thanks in advance!
Wow, I feel real dumb now. I had went to Gatherer, started reading the first ruling: "Odric’s ability triggers at the beginning of each combat, not just combat on your turn, whether or not any creatures you control have any of the listed abilities..." and immediately skipped to the next ruling, thinking the first one only dealt with how Odric triggered on everyone's turn at the beginning of combat.
RTFR(ulings) should be a thing if it's not already. Thanks Fancy!

If it makes you feel any better I very nearly did the same thing, but saw the answer in there as I glanced down to the next ruling.

This works how you'd like it to. From Odric's Gatherer rulings:
Odric’s ability triggers at the beginning of each combat, not just combat on your turn, whether or not any creatures you control have any of the listed abilities. If a creature gains one of the listed abilities before Odric’s triggered ability resolves, perhaps due to another ability that triggered at the beginning of combat, then creatures you control will gain that ability.
