Could you reupload this with updates? :)

The1337Magician

I'm going to camp for a week, so when I get back I will.

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

Add {Boros Reckoner}! With Odric's ability you can force their biggest creature to block it and then shoot the damage at them or at another creature.

The1337Magician

{Boros Reckoner} isn't allowed due to his half redness. Silly commander rules. Odric is a racist indeed.

IntoFire

{Mikaeus the Lunarch}?
{Angel of Jubilation}?

The1337Magician

Updated with many things.
Notables:  {Silverblade Paladin}, {Stuffy Doll}, {Jangling Automaton}, {True Conviction}, {Cathars' Crusade}, and {Nevermore}.

The1337Magician

Updates:

Anthems: {Dictate of Heliod}, {Hall of Triumph}, {Paragon of New Dawns}
Tokens: {Darien, King of Kjeldor}, {Increasing Devotion}, {First Response}
Pumps: {Mirror Entity}, {Mikaeus, the Lunarch}, {Selfless Cathar}
Other: {Sun Titan}, {Preeminent Captain}, {Serene Master}, {Windbrisk Heights}

Any reccomendations? I think I'm close to where I want to be with this deck. This was my first Commander deck and I finally got around to editing it.

Munchlax

{Mass Calcify}. I don't think I saw it but it should be in there

The1337Magician

Ok. I think I'm almost done with this.
What I'm thinking is:

-{Bonds of Faith} +{Spirit Bonds}
Because oftentimes I want my opponent to block so this ends up as {1}{W} Enchanted creature gets +2/+2.
Oh and Spirit Bonds is just an awesome card for this deck with the same CMC.

-{Timely Reinforcements} +{Soul of Theros}
Again, oftentimes Magical Christmas Land is too far off. I have the most creatures and/or the most life at most times so this does nothing.
And again Soul is just too good to pass up.

-{Platinum Angel} +{Mass Calcify}
That Angel is not the one for me. It's really fun, but honestly the only way this becomes useful is against insta-wins like {Felidar Sovereign} in my playgroup.
Mass Calcify is practically a {Plague Wind} in white. I like it and it's the same CMC.

I also saw that the old version of this deck is in the Community Deck Roundup. I was wondering if this could replace it. If not, I'll be more than happy to rewrite an explanation because over half the cards have changed I bet.

The1337Magician

Any reccomendations before I basically close this deck down unless anything amazing comes out in new sets?
If not I'll make a new description of what this does so Dudecore can replace this with the old one in Community Deck Roundup.

Now that I've done some tests with this deck, I feel comfortable with where it is. Since I feel I'm about done with it, I'll write about its philosophy.

This deck focuses around controlling both sides of combat with {Odric, Master Tactician} and his ability.
This is accomplished in three waves:
-Ways to kill other creatures while keeping my own.
-Ways to pump my own creatures considerably.
-Ways to have expendables to group up.

The first step is accomplished through First Strike.

My favorites of which are 2/2s for {2}.

{White Knight}: Bonus: Pro Black, which is a heavy color in my playgroup.
{Knight of the White Orchid}: Bonus: Ramp, it's hard to catch up with green, so this helps especially with lots of low cost creatures. I also have {Kor Cartographer} for this.
{Precinct Captain} Bonus: Token Generation which will push though most times with Odric.
{Kazandu Blademaster} Bonus: Vigilance. And even though I don't have any more allies, his ability is very good.

Other notables include:

{Preeminent Captain} Soldiers are a huge theme in this deck and 75% of the time, I can sneak something into play.
{Soul of Theros} Umm... Wincon?
{Archetype of Courage} Awesome card! Strictly better than {Rhox Pikemaster}.
{Student of Warfare} It's not a 2/2 FS for {2}, but it is a 3/3 FS for {3} and a 4/4 DS for {8}.
{Serene Master} It's not FS, it's better.
{Angelic Skirmisher} I often use this for FS, but Vigilance and Lifelink are awesome too.

Second wave is accomplished through pumping. Whether this is by Anthem effects, +1/+1s or by pump spells, it is definitely accomplished.

For Anthems, I have:

{Angel of Jubilation} This is good against {Thraximundar} and {Marchesa, the Black Rose} Steal/Sac
{Captain of the Watch} Again, Soldiers are heavily used and gives Vigilance and creates tokens.
{Phantom General} and {Intangible Virtue} support tokens well.
{Mirror Entity} is also a game-ender to swing with 20 10/10s reliably.
I also use {Honor of the Pure}, {Hall of Triumph}, {Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon"}, {Paragon of New Dawns}, and {Dictate of Heliod}

I also run to boost power:

{Mikaeus, the Lunarch} He is very helpful engine in distributing power around. It's also fun to have alternate Commanders.
{Cathars Crusade} this is often a game-ender whenever I play a mass token spell.

Speaking of tokens:

{First Response} and {Darien, King of Kjeldor} both play a bit of a mind game. Do you want to attack and give me creatures or do you not want to and risk me killing them? Darien is also an alternate commander.
{Geist-Honored Monk} and {Custodi Soulbinders},much like {Crusader of Odric} get quite large, but these also produce tokens.
{Spirit Bonds} and {Requiem Angel}, best buddies with {Mentor of the Meek} is a nice token and protection engine.
{Heliod, God of the Sun} gives my creatures Vigilance... I have nothing more to say about this jerk. He killed...
{Elspeth, Knight-Errant} token generation, pumping and Indestructability; what more could I ask for! Stupid Heliod...
{Increasing Devotion}, {Nomads' Assembly}, and {Devout Invocation} are huge token producers and love having them out with {Cathars' Crusade}.

Other cards outside of the core include (in no particular order):

{Riders of Gavony} The bane of my existence in this deck is {Door of Destinies} Tribal. The best option is to just push through.
{Intrepid Hero} {T}: Destroy {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth}, no questions asked. Fancy 1/1 y'got there.
{Jangling Automaton} and {Stuffy Doll} are my only artifact creatures. They are very great attackers in this deck. Untap their big threats that attack each turn to get rid of them or have all that damage go straight to them.
Finally a few staples I reccomend for every White deck: {Condemn}, {Swords to Plowshares}, {Nevermore}, {Mass Calcify}, and {Sun Titan}.

Thanks for reading!

I don't think I see a  {Sol Ring}. And consider {Drifting Meadow} just because if you land food oU have a draw if need be. Also {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}
