Rationale
5cmc 5/5 Centaur Druid with two static abilities: noncreature-spell lockout + mana-doubling on land taps. Signature in creature-only ramp-big-mana shells where the lock is an upside (no interaction package needed); a respectable midrange threat. Actively anti-spellslinger/control/combo/burn due to hard spell prohibition. Risk: deck-construction-restricted (requires all-creature list), color-locked (needs steady R+G sources), gives-opp-mana (doubles their land tap too)."
