Horseback Warrior

Some more fun with commons. This one is what R&D would call a French Vanilla. It means that the card has no abilities except keyword abilities. Really easy to design, low complexity, and you can still get a lot of flavour across with just these simple words.

Red-White is very well known for its aggro decks. As such, this card has got a pretty high P/T to cost ratio, (3/2 for 2 is pretty good), which combined with trample and haste makes it kinda a pretty good limited creature. Maybe too good. I wouldn't know though, since I'm more of a designer than a balancer of cards. My main goal here is to get across the feel of a fast warrior on horseback.

The flavour text here gets this point across quite nicely, if I do say so myself.
