Whenever Olinda enters or attacks, for each opponent, put an odor counter on up to one target creature that player controls without an odor counter on it. Each of those creatures has "At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 2 life" for as long as it has an odor counter on it. (They continue to smell after Olinda has left the battlefield.)
Predicted power
Standard — Eng.NLUsr.—
Pioneer — Eng.NLUsr.—
Modern 20 Eng.FUsr.—

Modern's speed and efficient removal make a 4-mana 3/3 with no immediate board impact too slow; the curse is poor against creature-light decks.

Band speculativeConfidence 71%

Could be wrong if A newly supported black creature shell or unusually creature-dense metagame could create a narrow role.

Legacy 16 Eng.FUsr.—

Four mana for a vulnerable 3/3 and delayed upkeep drain is far below Legacy's efficiency bar, with no credible established shell indicated.

Band speculativeConfidence 78%

Could be wrong if The estimate rises only if an unusual prison or creature-punisher shell gains strong new support.

Pauper — Eng.NLUsr.—
Commander 41 Eng.D+Usr.—

Tagging one creature per opponent can represent meaningful multiplayer drain and survives Olinda's removal, but a 4-mana 3/3 needs opponents to keep creatures.

Best home Black punisher decksBand fringeConfidence 58%

Could be wrong if Its multiplayer scaling may prove more punishing than expected, especially if repeated attacks are easy to enable.

Limited 70 Eng.B+Usr.—

A 3/3 for four is acceptable, and the persistent curse pressures an opposing creature even if Olinda dies; attacks can compound the drain.

Best home Black creature decksBand premiumConfidence 46%

Could be wrong if Unknown speed, removal, and creature sizing may make the four-mana body either much easier to exploit or too slow.

Persistent creature drain

“Olinda is a slow, creature-dependent attrition threat whose curse persists after removal but lacks immediate board control.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
