Sadly I can't write the ability in once piece because it causes the creature to gain +1/+1 for each keyword XD
Everything about this card screams
to me.
Edit: My comment was wrong, but can't be deleted. Consider this comment not here.
@jmgariepy:
You're wrong, you know.
It could be white theme (teaming up) or blue theme (cloning, ability theft).
Also, wow, flyspeck text on a card which doesn't even seem that good. Maybe it should cantrip, so you're at least not giving up three cards when your opponent kills off the thing you enchant?
@Tahazzar:
It's true! My comment would have been right 10 years ago. I'm getting old.
@jmgariepy:
Actually, I didn't even see the comment beforehand - I just found the edit quite funny :)
I'm curious - what was it?
It had to do with how White does this shtick, but doesn't copy abilities that aren't White. Except that isn't true. It was true for Concerted Effort (Believe it or not, Trample is considered to be in White's color pie. Just very, very rarely. At least I read that when re-reading through GDS2. Maybe because of Elephants?) But Odric, Lunarch Marshal doesn't seem to care about that, granting deathtouch, hexproof, menace, and skulk.
I also pointed out that both Majestic Myriarch and Soulflayer work with similar space (and Escaped Shapeshifter, but that card is too old to matter.) I guess the takeaway here is that Wizards hasn't really locked this ability into any one color.
Trample can be used pretty much anywhere if the creature is big enough and of a higher rarity. Thraben Militia is mysterious though even if the set had a bunch of white cards that sacced stuff and such.
There's a couple of things that can be noted just from those cards you mention.
I think the flavor is pointing a lot to
. The same flavor also made me assume that this exiled a creature card from grave... Hand seems like a weird place to exile that card from if you ask me.
