Not that it would make any difference, but should be 'Elemental Horse' (à la Nightmare).

You can redirect a flame slash to a player or even a Shivan Meteor

I agree w/@Corey_bayoudragonfly; they missed a chance to fix its creature type.

If you can make it indestructable, the shenanigans this guy can pull off can be devastating for the opponent. Here is one I thought of -

Skeletal Grimace - to give it regen
Alluring Scent - to force the opponents creatures to block it

Or you could either equip it with Gorgon Flail or cast Fight to the Death to destroy the opponents creatures in addition to the damage they take =)

Why do people care if it's not a horse in addition to its creature type?

He's an Elemental and that's all that matters.

You can tutor him and other Elementals.

You can cheat him in for 1Red to complete your combo for the win.

Can you lower the cost of Horse Spells by 1 like you can with Elemental Spells

They got it right with the creature type, no need to tack on a useless creature type.

Outdated by Boros Reckoner. I still love you Spitemare

It's like a Stuffy Doll that's not indestructible.

@ AMart83: It is clearly a horse though. A horse made of fire, yes, but still a horse. It doesn't matter that horse isn't really a heavily supported creature type - it's a horse, it even has "-mare" at the end of it's name! Or is game mechanics the only reason for having creature types in your opinion?

It's no Mogg Fanatic, but it'll do.

Has anyone considered using a lifelink card, such as lifelink or Scourge of the Nobilis, making this card or Boros Reckoner indestructible with Boros Charm, then dealing it 1 damage and have it target itself over and over? This would produce infinite life! And if you only give it lifelink, then it still boosts your life by 3 plus however much damage it was dealt.

What about Furnace of Rath and Boros Charm? Infinite damage!

This and Boros Reckoner are some of greatest boros combos!

Get a couple of these out, toss a darksteel plate and or blessing of leeches on each, play a furnace of rath, shock one and let the fun begin. For extra fun or in multiplayer, give one of your spitemares a guilty conscience.

Of course, you could just go with one of these, a darksteel plate, a guilty conscience, and a shock, but then you can't deal over 1 octodecillion to all your opponents. Unless... Can a creature target itself with an ability like this? If so add a furnace of rath and let the ridiculous damage values roll.
