Kentaro, the Smiling Cat

Kentaro, the Smiling Cat is your humble samurai enabler, turning your whole army of warriors into budget casters. The deck's main game is filling your creature slots with efficient Samurai and other warriors, then using Kentaro's cost-reduction ability to ramp out threats far faster than normal. Your samurai will be cheap to cast, and Bushido means they gain value whenever combat gets interesting—blocking or getting blocked triggers the ability, letting your team trade favorably or go wide. You're essentially playing an aggressive creature-focused deck that snowballs into dominance through card advantage and efficient threats.

Your game plan is straightforward: establish an early board presence with cheap Samurai and Warriors, use Kentaro's cost reduction to play multiple threats per turn, and leverage Bushido to make favorable trades in combat. Once you have a critical mass of creatures, you swing for lethal or grind out value. The deck doesn't need fancy combos—just good creatures, anthems to pump your team, and maybe some protection to keep your engine running. It's a go-wide strategy that rewards you for going to combat.
