What it does
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.)

Where it came from
Olinda the Oblivious was introduced in the Mystery Booster: Commander Edition, a unique expansion released by Wizards of the Coast as part of the broader Mystery Booster project. This card was designed specifically to participate in the chaos of a 'playtest' environment, serving as a riff on the unconventional and experimental game mechanics that define the series. The card features a whimsical, hand-drawn aesthetic characteristic of the playtest cards found in these boosters, intended to mimic the raw, unpolished look of initial design prototypes.
The design of Olinda, credited within the internal framework of the Magic: The Gathering R&D team, embraces a humorous approach to card design. It functions as a parody of typical Commander-format staples, utilizing rules text that is intentionally confusing or impractical to highlight the absurd nature of 'silver-bordered' or playtest-style gameplay. Upon release, the card was received by the player base as a collector's curiosity, valued primarily for its novelty and its role in demonstrating the playful, experimental history of the game's development process.
