in my pursuit of tuning the deck to the nth degree without putting in every Boros Staple™️ possible, I check out cards for utility beyond just being a body with keywords
Swiftblade Vindicator's been around a long time, but in an equipment-lite list, it doesn't do much else 1/
- wants to share some trauma stuff because it's been like a waterfall and I want to be a real human being
Hey those new Lorehold cards are pretty fuckin cool, I'm gonna have some problems swapping stuff when I do my next #bloodricposting update
everyone's excited for some fuck off, stupid Elder Dragons doing fuck-busted things
but I'm down for this Bird Cleric for some good ol #bloodricposting
We're back with some visual #bloodricposting updates, this time with a gamechanger, new reanimator tech, and some Lorwyn Eclipsed cards that I think would work really well.
We're getting some crazy Ws here and there, feels pretty good
#bloodricposting
Are these cards combined a real gamer moment when someone left the pod to go draft, & another was stuck on 3 lands too long?
idk, but I got to reanimate consistently. Starfall & save Aurelia. Later, bring back two bangers with Anthem & Reunion, with Storm of Souls for the finisher
#bloodricposting ?!? IN THIS ECONOMY?!?
Odric, Lunarch Marshal {3}{W} Legendary Creature — Human Soldier At the beginning of each combat, creatures you control gain first strike until end of turn if a creature you control has first strike. The same is true for flying, deathtouch, double strike, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, skulk, trample, and vigilance. 3/3 Illustrated by Cynthia Sheppard
So, #bloodricposting time!
I've finally added Lunarch Marshall to the list, after 4+ years. The point of Bloodric was to not use prior Odrics, to highlight what could be done with the new W/R printing
Since it's been so long, it felt like the right time to finally move forward and enjoy the perks
#bloodricposting alright gonna give the Kinscaer Sentry a go for a bit and see how it plays out
#bloodricposting Lorwyn Eclipsed edition:
okay i thought this set was gonna be a wash for Bloodric considerations, but managed to get two creatures out of the set I'd heavily consider using.
Kinscaer Sentry kinda goes in anything that can cheat bit things with a wide board. Isshin digs this too
#bloodricposting
December 30th will be the 4th year anniversary of my Bloodric deck's creation!
There's been a lot of changes since, but it's still my favorite and signature deck for a reason. Discard tech for reanimations, strong keyworded creatures, fun bling printings
Lyght - 5:53am @thebloodricguy if you ever change Bloodric out of the command zone for some other Boros Blorbo I will consider it a personal insult

#bloodricposting, Avatar update edition!
Charismatic Conquerer is also here!
Get some more card selection and a global haste source via Smellerbee, "removal" via Airbender Ascension and a targeted protection spell with Enter the Avatar State, which also gives a chunk of keywords
Yeah like over half of the images here aren't in the deck anymore
#bloodricposting time
Forgot I put together this image collage for my Bloodric primer, and quote a few of these cards aren't in the deck anymore
Charismatic Conqueror {1}{W} Creature — Vampire Soldier Vigilance Whenever an artifact or creature an opponent controls enters untapped, they may tap that permanent. If they don’t, you create a 1/1 white Vampire creature token with lifelink. “There’s a whole world under the surface, waiting for the light of our salvation.” 2/2 Illustrated by Bram Sels
#bloodricposting
This guy always comes up for consideration, even with the price point, because it makes bodies with a different keyword than what the Conqueror has
(There's the annoying part of this for people who don't wanna play ball, blow it up, etc, but uhhh yeah cool card)
#bloodricposting, but only regarding the hybrid discussion:
everything I've done with this deck has been with the rules and restrictions that Commander has in mind
the idea of putting in a non-Boros hybrid card into this deck would feel weird and bizarre, and not something i'd even consider doing
Summon: Yojimbo {3}{W} Enchantment Creature — Saga Samurai (As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after IV.) I — Exile target artifact, enchantment, or tapped creature an opponent controls. II, III — Until your next turn, creatures can’t attack you unless their controller pays {2} for each of those creatures. IV — Create X Treasure tokens, where X is the number of opponents who control a creature with power 4 or greater. Vigilance 5/5 Illustrated by Hisashi Momose
#bloodricposting
Okay so I added one Spider-Man card to the landbase, so not much to report about Bloodric otherwise
However I think it's time to add Summon: Yojimbo to the list. This guy is too fire not to
"Get Good, and figure it out for yourself" - John (Darkhawkeye007) "Creatures with keywords enter the battlefield and stuff happens" - Mike "They do not see the light of Bloodric" - Empress Quinn "Skill issue vampire" - Alice "Scary how never ending it felt" - Stormy
#bloodricposting
in my primer for Odric, I assembled quotes from people that have played against or heard about the deck
It makes me laugh a lot when new people react to the deck
Daily Bugle Building Land {T}: Add {C}. {1}, {T}: Add one mana of any color. Smear Campaign — {1}, {T}: Target legendary creature gains menace until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery. Known as “New York’s Finest Newspaper,” the Daily Bugle takes pride in always being fair and impartial.
#bloodricposting, Spider-Man edition:
Uh this set sucks for the deck except for one utility land - the Daily Bugle Building
Sucks I can't activate it when Odric enters on an empty board, but we take forms of evasion where necessary. Filter land isn't half bad either
Ruin Grinder, Slayers' Stronghold and Battlefield Forge (surrounded by the rest of the order)
#bloodricposting bling updates, Ruin Grinder from FF, SL Slayers' Stronghold and Brother's War Battlefield Forge
(I haven't seen Ruin Grinder in my hand recently, but since I'm running a foil Angel of the Ruins, might as well match it up)
Archaeomancer's Map {2}{W} Artifact When this artifact enters, search your library for up to two basic Plains cards, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle. Whenever a land an opponent controls enters, if that player controls more lands than you, you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield.
The Rollercrusher Ride {X}{2}{R} Legendary Enchantment Delirium — If a source you control would deal noncombat damage to a permanent or player while there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, it deals double that damage instead. When The Rollercrusher Ride enters, it deals X damage to each of up to X target creatures.
#bloodricposting update:
Archaeomancer's Map is obviously good, and helps with a lot of things. Hit land drops, catch up ramp, pitch an excess land via blood token
and Rollercrusher Ride? Can punch above the X value if you hit delirium....which is really easy to do
Odric, Blood-Cursed {1}{R}{W} Legendary Creature — Vampire Soldier When Odric enters, create X Blood tokens, where X is the number of abilities from among flying, first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, trample, and vigilance found among creatures you control. (Count each ability only once.) 3/3
Odric, Lunarch Marshal {3}{W} Legendary Creature — Human Soldier At the beginning of each combat, creatures you control gain first strike until end of turn if a creature you control has first strike. The same is true for flying, deathtouch, double strike, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, reach, skulk, trample, and vigilance. 3/3
#bloodricposting time!
I've been asked a few times why other Odrics don't show up in my Odric, Blood-Cursed list (and the usual, why choose this one over anything else?)
With many printings of characters, it seems obvious to add prior versions. But Bloodric is the thesis statement!
1/3
Okay, #bloodricposting update with #MTGEternities cards (Weftstalker Ardent and Starfield Shepherd)
Continuing the trend of adding cards that replace strictly worse ones, or add an extra avenue that wasn't considered...like TUTORING FOR OCELOT PRIDE
(Also, welcome back Sol Ring!)
Happy birthday Johnny Mardu, may the year be filled with #bloodricposting and sun titans 🔥
Yes this a foil Lightning and yes I'm putting her into Bloodric, I'm not here to catch smoke from her being in the zone
#bloodricposting
So I got this pretty foil lady today
Going right into Bloodric as soon as I get home
#bloodricposting
This is a repost in solidarity that I will also not be playing Iron Giant in Bloodric
It is once again time for me and @thebloodricguy.bsky.social to start scanning for new Keyword Critters. Wish us luck in the coming days and weeks.
#IndominusPosting
#BloodricPosting
Lightning, Army of One {1}{R}{W} Legendary Creature — Human Soldier First strike, trample, lifelink Stagger — Whenever Lightning deals combat damage to a player, until your next turn, if a source would deal damage to that player or a permanent that player controls, it deals double that damage instead. “Lightning. It flashes bright, then fades away. It can’t protect. It only destroys.” 3/2
Lightning, Army of One {1}{R}{W} Legendary Creature — Human Soldier First strike, trample, lifelink Stagger — Whenever Lightning deals combat damage to a player, until your next turn, if a source would deal damage to that player or a permanent that player controls, it deals double that damage instead. “Moment of truth, Hero.” 3/2
#bloodricposting, Final Fantasy edition
It's just Lightning. Holy. Shit. 3 keywords and a way to enable attacks to deal double damage?
SHEEEEEEEEESH
SHE'S #bloodricposting PLAYABLE YEAHHHHHH
#bloodricposting in a nut shell
That deck has had some changes over the years, and if something is too impactful or boring? Out the window for something else, maybe something new
Sage of the Skies {2}{W} Creature — Human Monk When you cast this spell, if you’ve cast another spell this turn, copy this spell. (The copy becomes a token.) Flying, lifelink “Gravity is just a suggestion.” 2/3
Ocelot Pride {W} Creature — Cat First strike, lifelink Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city’s blessing for the rest of the game.) At the beginning of your end step, if you gained life this turn, create a 1/1 white Cat creature token. Then if you have the city’s blessing, for each token you control that entered this turn, create a token that’s a copy of it. 1/1
#bloodricposting
I'm gonna be putting so many Sages into the Sky
