Kentaro, the Smiling Cat Kentaro, the Smiling Cat English

Legendary Creature - Human Samurai 2/1, 1W (2)

Bushido 1 (When this blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)

You may pay {X} rather than pay the mana cost for Samurai spells you cast, where X is that spell's converted mana cost.

“The bonds of bushido will draw the dishonored back someday, and I will be there waiting.”

Illus. Donato Giancola

  • 2/1/2005: Kentaro doesn't change when you can cast Samurai. It just makes Samurai castable for generic mana.
  • 2/1/2005: Kentaro's ability only applies while Kentaro is on the battlefield. You have to pay for Kentaro normally. It still costs {1}{W}.
