Great card for multiplayer game politics (assuming you don't play mono-black).

For those who don't know, Richard Garfield designed this cycle (http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/af85). What a man full of ideas. Wizards employs plenty of brilliant people, but none of them move from idea to idea as quickly as Richard.
I hope we learn what individual cards from Innistrad he designed.

Two of the cheaper ways to get around its drawback are Whiplash Trap, Echoing Truth. If you want to keep it in color, go with Perish. Powder Keg and Ratchet Bomb also work swimmingly.

Torpor Orb allows this card to have no drawback.

Yay, for a 2 drop 7/7! It has a drawback but that's easily Stifled or turned to your advantage with cards like Gather Specimens, Leyline of Singularity, Tainted Æther, Whiplash Trap, or even simple removal/burn. All in all, worth every 3/3 centaur token they get.

Clearly a net gain even if you can't easily get rid of one or more of the Centaurs, and amazing for the cost if you can. A splash of red should do the trick, especially with Lightning Bolt back in Extended. This should be played more.
@Bamboonickel: You are mistaken. If not otherwise specified, tokens have names which are the same as their creature type. These tokens are both named "Centaur" and would thus legend-kill each other with Leyline of Singularity in play.
