I watched a short documentary on Bronies.

I do not feel for their kind.

Agreed



Please tell me there have been spoken many a sexual innuendo about Riding the Dilu Horse.  It sounds kinda frisky.

Sounds like slang for chasing an opium high to me.

I think you guys are vastly underestimating this card.

4x this guy
4x bitterblossom
4x leyline of the meek

Turn 0 double leyline of the meek, turn 1 scrubland, mox blossom, turn 2 ancient tomb, Akron horse....multiple 3/3s for me every turn? Yes please!

This thing is as busted as an unrestricted channel/emrakul deck!

This forum has been about posting your favorite horse themed card...  I like this one cause its named after a horse, but it isn't one at all:

The sad thing is that upon reviewing this abysmal set, the horse here probably is one of the Top 20 most Vintage playable cards in Theros.  I mean, it's either this quasi-Kjeldoran Outpost horse or a 7 mana enchantment that gives a creature +1/+2.  Or a 3/3 for 5W that becomes a "monstrous" 5/5 for 9WWW.  Just as Urza's block scared Wizards into making terrible sets like Prophecy, something has scared them into creating this ultra-prudish nightmare of an expansion, entrenching and worsening the trend begun with Gatecrash.  I have a bad feeling that the next decent expansion won't appear until Spring of 2015 at this point.

The set has at least one Vintage staple.

And it won't see anywhere near as much play as the Homelands Vintage staple (Merchant Scroll).  Razz

This guy and Kiki Jiki make infinite horses together! And infinite fish, too, for value! Looks like we've just broken Vintage, Legacy, Modern, and Unified Kamigawa Theros Block Constructed!

5 basic lands, Thoughtseize, Swan Song, Chained to the Rocks, Solider of the Pantheon, Annul, Curse of the Swine, Hero's Downfall, Read the Bones, Tormented Hero, Firedrinker Satyr, Magma Jet, Boon Satyr, Ashen Rider, Daxos, Fleecemane Lion, and Pyxis are all better.

Never forget to count basic lands!

Still, it's sad when you have to include basic lands to get to 20.

The lands are courtesy of Alpha; Thoughtseize of Lorwyn; Annul of Urza's Saga; and Magma Jet of Fifth Dawn.  Still even then, I'd play the horse over Chained to the Rocks & Tormented Hero.  And I wouldn't play the horse.  The set is terrible!

I just wanted to join in the horse fun, but mine have wiiiiiiiiiiiings

We said horses...must have went over your head........

One might say, flight of fancy (horses)!  Also, I used to LOVE this card back in the kitchen table days.

Off limits or missing.  Given that I got that message as well, I'd imagine that the thread has been lost.
