"Nikya of the Old Ways: Gruul Tokenators!"
by:

Nikya of the Old Ways is one of those cards that could confuse me initially and then something in my brain would click and I will be able to use it properly.
This 5/5 5 mana costing Gruul Centaur openly declares that you cannot cast creature spells but he gives you a lot of mana to spend on other things. And what would be a Gruul deck without creatures right? Well normally what you do is use this double mana and create creature tokens. Lots and Lots of creature tokens like from Beacon of Creation or even fetch specific creatures and put them directly on the battlefield with cards like Green Sun Zenith or Birthing pod.
There might be a lot of creatures that you would not be able to cast but that does not mean that you cannot half a gazillion tokens on your side of the battlefield.
