This deck is effective. It have a well balance of Pillow fort and damage. Super resilient and you can make it the way you want it to be.
A lot of the odric decks you would find on EDHREC would tell you to either built it with tokens or equipments. I built it keywords. As i was building this deck in the beggining, i just wanted to put as many small creatures with nice keywords on them.
I play this deck since 3-4 years and kept improving it. in the beggining it was way cheaper and it was the kind of deck i was passing to my new playing friends or customers as it is super simple to understand and run. Moreover, it felt funny to see people that think monowhite decks can't win. Keep in mind that this deck is made for FFA but is really nice to play in 1v1 and can even take down a Krenko, mob boss deck because of the ''pillow fort''.
Keep in mind that there is only two creatures i have in this deck that doesn't have or provide a Keyword for every other creatures Which are Containment priest and Grand Abolisher
Here is the Deck list and why i choose these cards to be a part of the deck:
ARTIFACTS
