If you don't see it, allow me to remind you of this:
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
A pretty decent card to have in limited, at the very least. And if you absolutely have to play this in standard (and really, you could do worse), try to get the foil version. This card was essentially MADE for foil.

@Toquinha1977: I opened a booster with one foil copy of this beauty... it looks really awesome.
Pretty good card for weenie deck... combine it with let's say Gideon's Lawkeeper to tap opponent's white creatures and evade every other creature... add some Accorder Paladin and own the battlefield!

In general, I'd prefer a Leonin Skyhunter, since flying is evasion and evasion defense. However, this is a solid card for spirit decks, and a fine target for Angel of Flight Alabaster.

Going to have to agree on the "Wow, this card looks awesome as a foil" comments.
I pulled one, and I was legitimately impressed.

2-drop 2/2 with evasion, reasonably supported subtypes and solid flavor. 4/5 it's just too bad it got stuck with the worst tribal in Innistrad.

The flavor text, art, and mechanics are beautiful. 4/5

Okay, so intimidate is definitely a more interesting mechanic than fear... but I'm having trouble picturing it on a white creature.

Congratulations to the flavor text writer for this card. This has got to be the best flavor text ever to appear on a card ever. Even beats the flavor from Debtors' Knell. I didn't even think that would be possible.
It makes me wish Rider had Flash, maybe at a higher cost -- just to match the flavor. Hopefully this card becomes iconic.
...DarthParallax, I'd give you six stars for that if I could. :)

@Action: I can see why this would have Intimidate though. It's a Spirit. I.e. a fricking ghost rider. I'd get out of the way too.

Intimidate makes sense here. He's a spirit seeking a just revenge. White, pure, creatures have nothing to fear. But anyone else would fear they're it's next victim.

Simple. And effective. It's a pi$$ed off white aggro bear that fits the theme of a fellow living human in Innistrad that wants vindication against the non-white monstrosities.

Hoo boy, does this look beautiful as a foil. Spectral is right.

This is a solid 2/2 for two with a relevant ability. Perfectly costed for uncommon.

Make a black card of this next set please!
