Oddric, Lunar Marquis

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier2 generic manaBlack mana

A joke built with a straight face. The template here is Odric, Lunar Marshal: name a keyword one of your creatures has, share it across the whole team each combat. The original picks the evergreen and near-evergreen keywords a normal deck might actually assemble: flying, first strike, deathtouch, the honest list. This one takes the same engine and points it at the game's junk drawer. Banding, flanking, horsemanship, ingest, tantrum, devoid, shroud, landwalk, and a hand-picked activated mana ability get the mass-grant treatment, which means the card is a functional survey of every mechanic Wizards printed once, regretted, and quietly shelved. The comedy is that the ability is genuinely operational: if you can find one creature with horsemanship, your whole board gets horsemanship, and horsemanship is close to unblockable in a metagame with no horses. The design does real work as a curiosity, cataloguing the discontinued-keyword graveyard in a single reminder-text block, but it also asks a serious question about what "share a keyword" means when the keywords are ones almost nothing else has. Banding alone justifies the exercise: it is the most notoriously incomprehensible rule in the game's history, and granting it to a full team each combat is either a threat or a punchline depending on whether anyone at the table can still adjudicate it.

Rules text

At the beginning of each combat, creatures you control gain banding until end of turn if a creature you control has banding. The same is true for changeling, devoid, fear, flanking, horsemanship, ingest, intimidate, landwalk, shroud, tantrum, wither, and the activated ability "Sacrifice this creature: Add Colorless mana."
