@Ferlord So, I'm guessing I'm the only one who built an Elephant Graveyard deck.
Edit: @DritzD27 I don't remember exactly what Ferlord said, but it had something to do with this card being strictly better than Trained Armodon. Hence my joke.
Now I'm really curious what Ferlord apparently said as it seems he deleted that post...
Edit: @marmaris74 Ah, thanks, much appreciated.

I am givving this guy 5/5 just becuase he (and many other vanilla) creature plays an essential role in giving creature-to-manacost ratio a standard. They are the epitome of what new players need to learn the game. Simple, clean, easy, and impactful on limited. Giving him a low rating would be unfair and disregarding his and his friend's contribution to Magic: the Gathering.

This chick is probably the best vanilla creature in the set. I am a pro and would consider using this card for standard just to prove a point that pros can win with vanilla creatures.

Great art, great flavor text, and nothing wrong with for a 3/3. Solid card overall. If Canyon Minotaur was costed the same, we'd see some fun fun minotaur v. centaur battles. Oh the flavor, the artifact equipment skirmishes. Alas, it is not to be.
@Shane: Do you read what you write? You just said that 3/3 for 3 isn't worthy for any color, so your solution is to give it to all colors?
Also, a 4/5 for 3 already exists in Green. It's called Leatherback Baloth.

Vanilla 3/3 for 3 is not constructed worthy in any color. Maybe table top casual, but you wouldn't bring this guy to a tournament anytime soon.
Since this system has proven to be to weak, I recommend every color gets centaur courser, and green gets a common 4/4 for 3.
Weak cards dont define formats, the strongest ones do. Heck even mirrodin and urza had its weak cards, but that didn't slow down the monstrosity that came from those blocks at all, did they?
Edit: @:DoragonShinzui It would be a step in the correct direction, unless you are satisfied with the trashy 2/2 for we have been getting. I already knew about that card, and that is not the "junk card standard", this guy is. I understand magic needs weak cards, but I feel the power level on the lower end is too ridiculously bad.

Not strictly better than Trained Armodon for cards with chroma (i.e. Primalcrux). Even at that rate, I'd probably be playing Leatherback Baloth instead. So, just more often than not, situationally better.

Nothing wrong with it. Great way to determine the value of a vanilla creature: add power and toughness together, divide by two, rounding down if neccesary. If this is equal to the CMC, it's fine, less and it's bad, more and it's amazing. 4/5

And it's funny no one mentioned Nessian Courser yet.
