Centaur Healer of Wall of Denial? Need help!
Deck Help forum
Posted on May 8, 2013, 12:31 a.m. by Zergo1987
I have been building my casual Wolf Run Ramp deck for the last few months and ended up in a good spot. However, I am undecided on which creature to choose between Centaur Healer
and Wall of Denial
.
I chose Centaur Healer first because I needed a creature that could be cast early in the game and would help me survive the early aggro attacks. I've also got 4x Wall of Denial in my collection and have been thinking about which card should I play between the two of them. The way I see it the wall can be awesome against early flyers, early big creatures and still be usefull by the end of the game against the most powerfull creatures while having hexproof and resisting burn spells. The centaur provides me with 3 life as he enters the battle, which is nice, and is a 3/3 body which will probably be enough to sustain early aggro creatures and I can still use it to attack with my Kessig Wolf Run. On the other hand, it will die against burn spells and won't be able to protect me against some of the bigger creatures that arrive in the late game. It also does not have flying which means that I will have no protection against flying creatures. Give me your opinion please!

Wall of Denial . Your opponent will NOT get past it without some sacrifice or wrath effects.

I am going to put them in my deck and play some games with it. If Wall of Denial was able to block 2 creatures it would be simply amazing in my deck against aggro. If anyone knows of any other 3 mana creature/wall that would do great against aggro I would appreciate the input.

Doran, the Siege Tower does well against aggro because he's got a big butt to block with and deals damage equal to his toughness. As long as most of your creatures have higher toughness than theirs it should be golden.

What about Loxodon Smiter ? A 4/4 for 3 mana that is uncounterable and has evasion from many burn spells along with enough power to kill early aggro creatures. I am doing some testing with both this card and Wall of Denial .

Loxodon Smiter is amazing and should be played over Wall of Denial . Even in Modern, Loxodon Smiter can go toe-to-toe with Tarmogoyf .

Loxodon Smiter is a very aggressively cheap creature, out of Lightning Bolt range and uncounterable to boot, makes matchups featuring Liliana of the Veil laughable. Not quite on Geist of Saint Traft level so far as 3 drops go but It's definitely playable

I personally would prefer Wall of Denial . 3 life is peanuts especially tacked onto a 3cmc creature. Wall of Denial can pretty much block anything they throw at you which will save you way more than 3 life in the long run. Shroud is the selling point though, as baring a Supreme Verdict they won't be able to get rid of it.
Especially if your deck lacks protection from flyers I think Wall of Denial is a great card.
