Deck Description

*** JOURNEY INTO NYX SPOILER ALERT!!! ***

For those who haven't yet seen, there's finally a Centaur lord coming in Journey Into Nyx:

Pheres-Band Warchief (3G)
Creature - Centaur Warrior
Vigilance, trample
Other Centaur creatures you control get +1/+1 and have vigilance and trample.

Let's build around him!

(Centaur Chieftain stands in for him until the database on the site is updated to include the Warchief.)

How to Play

Plenty of Centaurs in Standard right now to make the Warchief viable. One could argue it would be worth it to dip into red for Fanatic of Xenagos and other red goodies, but I'm keeping it super simple by just doing GW.

And it really IS simple. A bunch of Centaurs with just Rootborn Defenses to protect/populate them and Bow of Nylea as some additional flexible support. Mystics are too good to leave out, as is Experiment One, and Kalonian Tusker combines with Swordwise Centaur and the Experiment to provide for some lightning-fast starts.

The primary tricks are in the sideboard, though nothing terribly shocking. There's artifact/enchantment hate, flying hate, hexproof champ Witchstalker, and the flexible Selesnya Charm.

Consider this just a shell for now, but one that could have some serious oomph as at least a FNM deck in a month or so.

Other ideas, anyone?
