great defensive card. They will think twice before attacking you with something this can block.

I love this card. Its amazing almost all the time. I just wish more of the cards in the Eventide/Shadowmoor set were as fun as this one.

Yes, very fun and abusable, but you have to pump it to see just how much fun it can be.

If you don't love this card, then you haven't played with it or against it. As everyone here is saying, it is one of the most fun cards you can play with.

Its a biger version of a Mogg Maniac. Pretty nice but also sort of pricey to play.

Definitely in my top 5 favorite creatures in the game. In addition to Shivan Meteor, it also combos nicely with Pestilence/Pyrohemia and any of the Rath Cycle Kor. Elemental horses are so cool!

Ah greatest win against in indestructable Preeminent Captain. I used an enchantment that caused the little 2/2 Preminent Captain to attack every turn, and kept blocking it with Spitemare. :)

Don't ever assume that this creature will live to block. But Spitemare + Indestructibility = win.

Spitemare + channel shinen of life's roar, all opponents creatures block it.

Spitemare + 10 damage earthquake, deals instant 20.

The flavor text is a bit off...this card is exploitable in such a huge way :P

does spitemare with Indestructibility and Soul Link give infinite life?

I build a pestilence deck with this combination and some en-kor dudes.

Spitemare gets 1 damage from pestilence, and redirects this to himself(you get 2 life)
then again and again and again, till you had enough and then you direct the damage to whatever target you want.(at least i think it works this way please let me know if i'm wrong).

Seems like this should be a rare. Just something about it.

Shouldn't this get the subtype of horse?

Huge fun without being too powerful.

Unlike many hybrid cards I think his ability justifiably fits in both mono white and mono red, as well as feeling W/R. See mirror strike as example of white doing this kind of thing.

I love the whole White/Red concept of revenge. It's perfect.

so not the most efficient use by far, but Tower of Calamities?

I like how any common black removal spell just ruins all of your fun.

I accidentally ended up with infinite life.

I had played this guy, and equipped him with the Scourge of the Nobilis. Then, I summoned Deathless Angel. It looks rather obvious now, but the Deathless was a new addition to my deck, and I hadn't seen these two cards together since I only run one copy of each.

In any case, I had the two of them out for two turns before I realized I could make the spitemare indestructible, cast lightning helix on him, and then have him deal 3 damage to himself over and over again (while gaining 3 life each time because of the scourge), until I had a million+ life and I sent 3 damage into my opponent.

I like cards that can do a lot of different things, and this card is just excellent in that regard. While there's "better" 4 CMC R/W cards, I keep playing spitemare because I enjoy being surprised by what he can do.

So...

Why is Nightmare a Nightmare Horse, Thundermare and Timbermare Elemental Horse, and this... only Elemental? Why not make it a Horse like its relatives?
