For Challenge # 008
Unlike many lords, he pumps himself as it lowered the word count and justified the high CMC.
Other option was to lower his cost and limit it to "other **** creatures you control" like other lords but this just looks more fun. Plus, this is a design challenge, Development can tweak him as they see fit.......LOL
I like that he's a lot stronger than he looks at first. He's a bit like Turntimber Ranger, who at first looks like a 2/2 for 5, but you realise after a moment provides you with at least 5 power of creature even without any other support.
The one part I'd question is his affiliation with red. I'd say centaurs are pretty solidly mono-green. There's one green-white centaur, one very odd red centaur, and a black Zombie Centaur. It's a pity that you'll have to resort to Changelings or type-hackery to get much out of the first strike ability.
I always liked the idea of Centaur Berserkers, and kind of wish they did print a few more Centaurs in red. Ah, well.
Funny thing is, this card feels like it should really be Hybrid. What with the "If you have red, do this, if you have green, do this, both, do both" thing going on.
