I think this card was meant for Avacyn Restored... Just look at his sword

This is going in my Human deck. I will enjoy swinging for the win with this and three Mirran Crusaders (before they rotate).
@Kefale and superghandi88: Odric doesn't work with Hero of Bladehold. The ability requires you to declare three other creatures as attackers when you have Odric himself attack, and creatures that enter the battlefield attacking weren't declared as attackers.

"Seems like one of the best cards to pair this guy with would be Hero of Bladehold I could be wrong since it depends on if the tokens will trigger his ability mid-combat step." - Kefale
"@ Kefale
That combo should work since all attackers are declared simultaneously including those tokens created by Hero of Bladehold and declaring blockers happens during a later phase of the combat step. All of your 4+ creatures are all attacking which will trigger Odric's ability to allow you to choose your blockers. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you're right about using that combo." - superghandi88

Nice as it would be, SyntheticDreamer is correct. Odric and HoBH will attack together, Odric's ability won't ... (see all)

Even without the First Strike this would be a great card.
I especially love that he's a soldier as well, and since soldier decks are often token-heavy it shoudln't be difficult to fulfill the condition on his ability.

Probably my favourite card in M13. A 3/4 first strike for 4CMC is already a good deal but his ability makes him absolutely amazing, whether it be for Innistrad human spam with Champion of the Parish or M13 soldier tribal. Going to pick up a few for sure.

Huh... white green black infect /w Ghave, Guru of spores as well as nim deathmantle and grafted exoskeleton... add ramp, use phyrexian swarmlord if you're in multiplayer. Not perfect, but at least it's different.
... or you could be rude and just run it with blightsteel colossus or Phage, but why not use whispersilk cloak on them?

@Doaj and all,
Thatcher Revolt seems like a logical pairing in a Red/White deck. You instantly have three disposable attackers, plus Odric himself.
I play tested him in an all knight/soldier deck last night. It was mostly white, but had both black and red creature splashes, too (3x Cavern of Souls on type Human, two Clifftop Retreat, and 17 plains). Many creatures (Guardians of Akrasa, Knight of Glory, Knight of Infamy, Aven Squire) granted Exalted, allowing for buffed up solo attacks until Odric was on the scene and relieved of his summoning sickness. If my opponent could not get rid of Odric (Prey Upon and similar effects worked well), it usually ended quickly thereafter. The only deck with which I had trouble was a Zombie-heavy deck that was running a playset of Moonmist.
It played really well overall (deck here: http://deckbox.org/sets/207835 --I've made a couple of tweaks since playing that are not yet reflected). I need to do some additional tweaking, but it looks like I... (see all)
