Proof of concept / template for Paul's new Centaur mechanic. If we give it to all of them means you could chain up a load of Centaurs in one go (assuming this causes the ability to trigger on being put into play attacking)

@Simon - it won't trigger again due to the "tapped and attacking" clause - similar to how the angel from geist of st traft doesn't have to attack a +2'd Gideon. If this goes on all Centaurs then this card should probably have another ability, maybe G : Regenerate target Centaur?

I totally played this guy wrong earlier. Thought he triggered on any creature like all the others do. It's really confusing that he doesn't!

This guy may be too tribal unless we are going to make tribes a feature of this set. They are hovering there being fairly consistent but without having many cards that deal with tribes.

He might be more fun to trigger on any creature. Still only around a natural 40% chance to hit, but with manipulation way higher I guess.

i think any creature is fiene - the only worry about any creature is if he was played with other cards not in teh set - like eldrazi - even then none of the triggers would happen coz they are all when you cast or attack - are we happy to make a card that might be busted in standard even though none of these cards are going to get played in standard? if not maybe he needs to put tokens rather than the creature card itself - like hero of bladehold and kessig cagebreakers -

We could have him put a centaur token into play with P/T equal to the P/T of the revealed card?

changed to any creature
