Hm. Yeah, I want something more exotic than "cow". "Ox" is definitely the magic default, but I like the exotic-ness of Aurochs. I'll leave it for now and decide if I want to switch later.
And yeah, I want something "like wild west, but a bit different". But you're right, I never remember which is bison and which is buffalo and which is something else (complicated because so many new world species get tagged with the same name as a similar but different old world species), but if it sounds like a mistake, it should be changed to something else. Possibly bison, or possibly something more exotic.
How about antelope?
'Beast' is the fallback type, though.
Technically? Unglued used 'Cow', though I know you don't want that.
This is where Magic's creature type template breaks down. Technically, Magic should have the creature type 'Bovine' so it can slot cattle, buffalo and ox together in it. Why wouldn't they all work together as a team? But, nope, someone made an Ox first, so they're all Oxen now.
On a separate side note, if Frontier World is supposed to be based on the American Wild West, you probably want to call this a "Bison Stampede" instead. There are no buffalo in America, and never was. I know we use buffalo all the time when refering to those huge beasts that used to run across the great plains... but that was just Europeans comparing a different animal to something they knew. Bison can interbreed with cattle, but can't interbreed with buffalo... they're really different creatures. I know that the first time Europeans were exposed to American Bison, they often couldn't help laughing because they looked so weird. They're beards were so big, they reached down to the ground, and threatened to trip on them when they ran! And look at how far forward those creatures are built... they barely have a backside! And what's with that hump?!

I want a "big red creature" as seems to be common in recent sets. I'd ideally like to vary the template a little, but there doesn't seem much room to do so and "big" fits the "buffalo stampede" concept great without further modification. But any suggestions welcome?
I want a name and creature type for the cattle-like animals (native or imported) on this world. I toyed with an alien-y name, but decided being straightforward is better. But what creature type -- aurochs? ox? what else has magic used?

There seems to be a whole series of these X CMC +X/+0 spells with X = 1,2,3. And I never end up playing them, although they seem like they should be an ok combat trick.
Well, it fits the "just slightly better and just slightly quicker just wins" quickdraw flavour absolutely perfectly so here it is.
