Ninokun on $5 Trampling Centaurs

3 years ago

I've never thought you could build a good deck with less than 10 bucks, but you showed me is possible. Thanks for a wonderful job.

Just a switch of Boreal Centaur by Centaur Courser. I think it fits better.

TypicalTimmy, regarding what you said, the question of Noggin Whack or Mind Warp depends on the state of the game. If your opponent only has 2 or 3 cards in hand, then you are spending less mana to look at their entire hand than you would with Mind Warp. And also, if you are referring to Awakening of Vitu-Ghazi, it's too late. I put it into almost every single green deck I make. Just don't use The Wurm. Whatever you do, don't use The Wurm. Also, Thornhide Wolves and Centaur Courser is a no-no.

GreatSword on As Foretold's Peculiar Wording

Yes, it's different.

You can only cast a spell with As Fortold with converted mana cost X or less. So if there's 2 counters on As Fortold you could cast Grizzly Bears or Giant Growth but not Centaur Courser , since the Courser is CMC 3.

Also, if you wanted to cast a spell with X in its cost like Fireball , X would have to equal 0.

From the Comprehensive Rules:

"107.3b If a player is casting a spell that has an {X} in its mana cost, the value of X isn’t defined by the text of that spell, and an effect lets that player cast that spell while paying neither its mana cost nor an alternative cost that includes X, then the only legal choice for X is 0."

Honestly I think Centaur Courser would be really good here.

TheVectornaut on Centaur deck that favors Enchantments

Pheres-Band Warchief and Stonehoof Chieftain seem like strong inclusions in general. The latter is high CMC, but my suggestion is that you take this deck in a ramp direction anyway.

Step 1: Add Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and swap some creatures around to improve devotion. Ex: Swap Centaur Courser for Swordwise Centaur, Pharika's Disciple for Seton, Krosan Protector, Pheres-Band Tromper for Jolrael's Centaur. This also makes Nylea's Disciple more effective.

Step 2: Add enchantments that help you tap forests for additional mana like Fertile Ground, Overgrowth, Utopia Sprawl, and Vernal Bloom. These gain the benefits from Herald of the Pantheon and Dowsing Shaman and provide incredible acceleration.

Step 3: Find something to do with the mana. The easy answer would be to draw with Harmonize and play more centaurs. But I think the more interesting answer is to go for broke with Genesis Wave or Primal Surge (after removing Fruition). Play all (or most) of your deck, gain a ton of life, throw in Concordant Crossroads for haste, and swing with an indestructible, trampling centaur army.

That's how I'd do it at least, though I must admit I am a sucker for flashy plays.
