While surfing our favorite unnamed site of purchasery and auctioneering, I noticed this. So, it looks like we got one other promo, Cenn's Tactician. Image is attached. Probably a promo to be given out alongside the Oona's Blackguard one...
Discuss and/or lock (if this was already known). Personally, the art is meh, but the flavor text is ok. Promos are promos, I guess...
I personally dislike the arts since its almost the same as Cenn's Heir. When I first saw these I honestly thought that they had gone from doing 2 alt art cards for Gateway to just one since I got the art confused with Cenn's Heir. You're right though, promos are promos, even if they are realeasing them at about 30+ a year...
I'm not a fan. I hope this card proves to be monsterous, as I hate it when they release total chaff as promos. I've got a playset of the Red Madness Wurms... can you call it a playset if it doesn't get played?
It seems like a Utility creature like this would be a little slow to me... but I have yet to play him. He did make some noise in that Japan GPT winning deck. Time will tell and I may eat my words. I just feel like his ability is too slow for the most part.
its a pretty cool card in my opinion, its always nice to be able to pump your other guys, and the blocking effect seems helpful and could save you alot of life against most aggro strategys.
Um...this question is going to sound a bit stupid, but it's bothering me, so I'll just get it over with. Why do these creatures have two different species'? Did an elf figure out how to have sex with a tree?
I got my promo from the Release party of Morningtide last week (we didn't have the rare card, sad). They do look too much like Cenn's Heir (same artist, it just looks like he's in a different pose) as when I flip through my binder, I keep thinking it's him. I did also get the Oona's Blackguard, and it does look very nice.

Thanks to Le_Gambit at ►►æтђєг◄◄ for the awesome Banner.
I can confirm that these cards are in conjunction with oonas blackguard. My teamate and I received one each at our stores 2HG tourney last night. They both look good.
i'm not a big fan of the regular art, but i'm even less of a fan of this one. this artist's idea of kithkin is dwarves with wide heads, and the look just sucks.
normally, i scoop these promos up. i may be staying off this one, though.

I like the flavor text. It's definitely better than the original flavor text, and it's surprisingly accurate: if you have peace, then you're not attacking. If you're not attacking, Cenn's Tactician isn't tapped, so you can tap it to "train" (+1/+1 counter) your guys instead. And the better-trained (more +1/+1 counters) your guys are, the less likely your opponents are going to want to attack into your guys, so they don't attack, and you have peace.

wow, the similarity with this and the Heir are very...disappointing. However, the Tactician is a limited house and a Constructed contender, so I might want a set of these for my rapidly-developing soldier deck.
Sure, stuff like Snapping Drake and Goblin Piker are for limited. But Null isn't even playable against a 5 year old whose hand consists of a 6 of Clubs, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Chimney Imp, and a very large cumquat.
I think that the alternate art is much better, and shows off more of the soldiering aspect of the card, it's a soldier instead of a prostitute, which is what the original art seems to be.

And if I've offended you, I'm sorry, but maybe you need to be offended. But here's my apology and one more thing...
Also, i think that Cenn's Heir has an alter-ego call Tactician promo.

You can't read the hand autograph in my sig?
Yes, he's the legendary one! Yeah, you right it's him.
It's Le_Gambit from Aether!
I tried doing that to, but it dosnt seem to fit aswell as i thought it did.
See the smoke on Cenns Heir, you can see it on Tactitian.
