Why Centaur Healer exactly? If your playing it to gain some life, try Fiendslayer Paladin. (=

It's bigger & it triggeres the Archangel as it enters the battlefield... :)

Fiendslayer is better and triggers Archangel repeatedly.

why is this an argument? one of these cards is a sideboard card, the other is basically unplayable. If your 3 slot in a standard Naya deck is not Loxodon Smiter or Fanatic of Xenegos, you are wrong.

That's not a really good argument, stating that your opinion is the right one over something that is debatable and is also being debated about lol. Everydeck is different, and can be beaten by another deck. Maybe centaur healer in this deck is the correct way to make it superior over the metagame? All the lifegain in this deck is pretty slick, and can be the difference in a close game

Well actually I would tend to agree with him. Smiter would be your best bet, you already have enough pingy lifegain on the Courser and the Archangel itself. If you draw the Archangel the main deciding factor is really whether the opponent has a removal spell or not.

The difference is, when I have Archangel on board in late game & I draw a Centaur Healer, it can win me the match... ...it triggeres the Archangel immediately, so I don't have to wait a turn for that & it's crusial in many situations... ...also, the Healer becomes 4/4 when it enters, just like Smiter if I play it with Archangel already on board... ...tough in early game, Smiter is more relyable...

I'm not saying ninja is wrong, I'm just saying his logic of debating is wrong. He's claiming that an already existing debate is useless, wrong, and closed. He's bringing an entirely new debate to the table without giving any persuasion and closing it as well. Poet wants his deck to be simple: build creatures as midrange with help of planeswalkers, gain life, and use lifegain with archangel to pump creatures. Centaur does that and loxodon doesn't, so it is obvious why he would choose that.

Yup... ...I usually get more value out if it... ...I've tested the deck with Smiter before & it wasn't as good as the Healer... ...in some decks, Smiter is better off as a sideboard against Rakdos's Return, but here, I just have better sideboards.......

If you ask me, for one more mana you get life gain for every creature dropped. Trostani is a must here bro.

I fleshed out something similar, but went Bant for the flash creatures, Horizon Chimera, Boon Satyr, and the ultimate flash guy Prophet of Kruphix. Not to mention Trostani. I wonder if Warleader's Helix wouldn't be a better replacement for saaaaaaaaaay Chained to the Rocks or Mizzium Mortars just for the simple fact of more life gain.

Is this a FNM deck? I like it a lot, but I'd drop the chained to the rocks for last breath. You can use it on your own cat tokens in a pinch.. The deck is solid, so congrats.. But it would get out raced by most devotion decks. What is your meta game? Looks like your out to beat U/W control. Regardless, thanks for the post. It's a beautiful deck. Good luck:)

Thanks!

This isn't my FNM deck, I'm just experimenting a lot, because I want to create a new deck-type for standard, that'd dominate all, but this wasn't a serious attempt at that...

My RUGWalkers deck however got the upper hand most of the time against every competative deck-type there is now in standard, when I playtested it... ...& all decks I put it up against are likely the best in their type... ...the deck is called Evolution Fanatic.......
