Actually, since Horsemanship is the Portal 3 Kingdoms version of Flying it wouldn't hit creatures with flying.

It DOES damage creatures with flying because horsemanship is not flying. Perhaps one day they will bring back horsemanship and we will get reprints of this and Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed.

the wierd thing is, all of you are right, including test subject.

it CAN hit creatures with flying, but it WOULDN'T because Portal didn't HAVE flying, so no flying creatures to hit. Portal was mostly a 'safe' Block, but this particular card is broken and should be Restricted.

@DarthParallax: Check again. This is the Masters Edition III printing of this card. And Masters Edition III is a set with flying, so there are flying creatures for this to hit. Also, Portal had flying. It's only the Portal Three Kingdoms set that doesn't have flying.

You could always splash Green and go for a Savage Twister, unless of course you really need the damage to be dealt to players as well. Generally though, I'd say this thing is most useful when you want to wipe the board of critters, and to that end Savage Twister is almost as good. Oh, and it costs about $99 less than this.

Too expensive. Cheaper cards do almost as much damage. but honestly, who the heck ever used Horsemanship?

Am I the only one who thinks it's ridiculous that you can be safe from a massive earthquake as long as you are sitting on a horse?

130 dollars for an earthquake that can hit flyers? No thank you, and plus this will never see reprint because the standard for earthquake should not be this card.

Strange that birds are effected and horsemen are not.
