Ah my eyes! The terrible art work has burned my eyes! The mediocre ability has burned my eyes as well!

How is this considered a spirit? I think I see an angry windmill in the artwork...

maybe wizards thought they're animated objects and could therefore be considered as Spirit, or because of being some sort of poltergeist; although that thesis is kind of clumsy. maybe Construct instead? they could also make this a Warrior without any further creature type... regarding species, no creature type i could currently think of matches exactly to that creature.

Look out. It's the horrible hordes.
Artwork so bad that it actually angers you is thankfully rare. The original Nicol Bolas is a good example, and so is Double H here. Ian Miller: for great justice. You have no chance to survive make your time.

It's not fair to blame only the artist. After all, even great art wouldn't make this random collection of rabble scary or worth taking seriously... I mean really, what's up with the variety of objects here? Let's see, a spitoon, some sort of desk (though it looks more like an evil TV), a wagon wheel, there is indeed a windmill in the back there, a lamppost (which scores double points for being anachronistic)... Uninspired name with no pop, a questionable creature type, and nonsensical flavor text that makes a vague, failing attempt at being profound round off a card I hope to never see again

I misread the flavor text as "few are able to understand the hordes", which is just as appropriate.

This is definitely one of my favorite funny cards in all of magic. Horrible Hordes is hilarious!

I am just not a fan of Ian Miller's art. Interesting artifact creature, though...

I actually REALLY REALLY like the artwork. It's not bad, it's just weird, which I think is the point.
And it's a spirit because I imagine the objects are being animated by some spiritual or supernatural force. WHATEVA.

One of the strangest cards I ever pulled from a pack, I didn't know what to do with it then and I still don't know what to do with it now.

ONE OF THE BEST ARTWORKS IN MAGIC! Seriously...
An important part of art is originality. Were you asket to depict a horrible horde, what would you draw? Monsters? Zombies? Demons? Vampires? Aliens? Specters? None would portray animated windmills, street lights, dishwashers, toasters, etc.
5/5. Just for this reason. I don't mind about the playability of this card (which is clearly 0/5).

This art reminds me of the parade scene in the anime Paprika. I want to make a theme deck now.
EDIT: For those who don't like Ian Miller's magic art, his website is incredible, and I suggest you check it out before making a judgement of his work.

So funny, I love the art. Wizards should print more of this kind of stuff.

This card was a riff on how many times Wizards had printed vanilla 2/2's for 3 before this (ex. Gray Ogre, Pearled Unicorn, Scathe Zombies, etc.) which had been nicknamed the "horrible hordes." Amusingly, Wizards ended up thinking that it would be too poor to see print without an ability (despite being better outside of creature type considerations than the aforementioned creatures) and so gave it rampage.
