Khans of Tarkir (Speculations and Spoilers)

Here comes horsemanship...

Oh god. Why.

For the love of god please no

Ugh.... but if it makes sense anywhere, it's here. And it counts as "something old".

Looks like i picked the right time to quit buying cards. (I've said this before)

What's wrong with Horsemanship? It's pretty much unblockable, which is always printed.

It's not unblockable, it's flying... except we already have flying. It's really dumb to have 2 of the same thing with different names. (Shadow is different because it's a 2-way street. Can't block OR be blocked)

It's not flying. Flying creatures and creatures with reach cannot block horsemanship.

Creatures with Flying can only be blocked by other creatures with Flying. (pre-Reach keyword)
Creatures with Horsemanship can only be blocked by other creatures with Horsemanship. (pre-Pikeman or other surely soon-to-exist keyword)

They're the same thing.

Indeed they are. Horsemanship was Flying reworded to fit the flavor of P3K. I doubt we'll be seeing it.

How's this for a reworking of banding: Horde
Horde: as you enter combat, you may declare this creature and one other creature attacking together as a group. You assign all combat damage dealt to and from this group this combat phase.

[MuggyWuggy]

Make it tribal specific and I'm down!

seems like the advantage would all be for the attacker and the blocker gets screwed.

That's kind of how banding works, just with like a page more of rules.

[Nymuera]

Blockers with banding got an advantage as well. The controller of the blocking creatures was allowed to divvy up the damage as wanted.

They're the same thing.

Still are not the same thing. Flying cannot block horsemanship. Horsemanship cannot block flying. Reach can block flying. Reach cannot block horsemanship, unless that creature has horsemanship itself.

[MementoMori]

The point is that they're the same mechanic with different names.

Which is why I doubt it'll be the old thing coming back. I also don't think it meets the "lots of people want this" criteria, given that the typical reaction to it that I've seen is pretty much this.

[Sparkle Ninja]

Maybe it's kicker or Phyrexian Mana

[Mattao19]

Maybe it's kicker or Phyrexian Mana

I hope it's either!! I love both!! But isn't kicker a lot like Strive. (Obviously not the same but close)

[Sparkle Ninja]

*multikicker

No. Strive adds more targets. Kicker/multikicker adds extra effects to the spell in question
