Oracle Text

1 (Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)

You may pay {X} rather than pay the mana cost for Samurai spells you cast, where X is that spell's mana value.

"The bonds of bushido will draw the dishonored back someday, and I will be there waiting."

Kentaro doesn’t change when you can cast Samurai. It just makes Samurai castable for generic mana.

2/1/2005·wotc

Kentaro’s ability only applies while Kentaro is on the battlefield. You have to pay for Kentaro normally. It still costs {1}{W}.
