Centaur Courser is something white usually doesn't get. It's the size where green is supposed to start having more efficient creatures to distinguish between white weenies and green fatties.
Also the flavor text... he died? He's a dead Human Warrior right now?
Mmm, this is a bit too big for the cost, for white. I liked the dead text version; personally :)
Yeah, it's noteworthy that a 3/3 for definitely isn't a power level issue, since we basically already had that with Glint-Sleeve Artisan and Sandcrafter Mage before that. It's this thing of principle that white doesn't get 'large' creatures for less than 4 at common, which means that even if the creature practically is a 3/3 that's fine as long as 3 and 3 haven't been written on the card. Something like Unwavering Initiate is obviously stronger anyway and Those Who Serve is comparable as well. The dance of avoiding something like this being printed is somewhat ludicrous at this point.
Regardless, the flavor of this is just straight-up : name, flavor, and 'Warrior' type all indicate toward this. It has nothing about it. Blood Knight-esque if you ask me.
It's just a matter of time. Remember how long it took for Murder to finally see print? The community can be weird like that.
Took a long time to get red Grizzly Bears to finally make its appearance in Falkenrath Reaver. Now that the dam broke, there's 7 red bears in Standard in common.
I still find this somewhat baffling. The current composition of name, flavor text, type, and mechanics are in dissonance. I would drop the current flavor text altogether or move it onto another card. Nothing in the current card refers to it to "dying for it as well".
Yeah, I mean, obviously the cardname changed, and the mechanics tell a different story now.
Maybe "Born into a warrior's life he yearns for someone to pass on his skills to before the fight finally consumes him."
It hits the same notes of being a fighter until death, but also adds acknowledges the implied flavor of the mechanics.
This is a bit nitpicky, but that flavor text wouldn't have quotes since it's not a thing the Warrior itself says, but rather anonymous narration about them.
Nice though, makes sense for the card.
