If I do bring Horsemanship in as a part of the set then cards like this that can deal with them will be required.
Sensible. But in fact this seems overcosted; I think it could be a 2/1 horsereach for
.
Were you planning on having green creatures with Horsemanship? Are you sure that Horsemanreach shouldn't be a green ability?
Yes, green will get a few centaurs and maybe an elf with Horsemanship. Green already gets anti-flying so it doesn't really need anti-horsemanship, especially if it is getting a good dose of it.
Like you've said in places, I think Horsemanship should be treated much differently than flying. I like that it's in green as its secondary color. Also, this only needs to say "can block as though it had Horsemanship." You don't need the "assigned to."
Thanks. Yeah whilst it was originally created to replace flying in Portal Three Kingdoms, it should be treated as totally different. And, whilst it is called HORSEmanship I don't see that it needs be limited to actual horses. Goblins on boars or lizards, elves on beasts of the forest etc can all use the ability to give it more depth.
