Plague Mare

Creature — Nightmare Horse1 generic manaBlack manaBlack mana

A color-hoser wearing the clothes of a fair midrange creature. The evasion clause reads as anti-white on its face: a body that white's ground blockers simply cannot stop, turning a removal piece into a clock against the exact color it was built to punish. The entering sweep is the broader half, and the more honest one: -1/-1 to every creature the opposition controls, not just the white ones. That untargeted band is the design's discipline. It clears x/1 tokens, one-toughness early drops, and any go-wide swarm, while anything with two or more toughness shrugs it off entirely. So the effect scales to whatever fragile board is across from it, and the color hate lives almost entirely in the unblockable rider. Against a white opponent both barrels fire; against everyone else it's a 2/2 that trims one toughness off the small stuff on the way down. That asymmetry belongs to a small tradition of conditional hate creatures whose ceiling is locked behind the opponent's color choice: the more you know about what you're facing, the sharper it gets, and the more its value collapses when you guess wrong. The card is a wager on information.
