the whip seems good, the other 2 seem to be janky.

The flavor on the Trojan horse is just hilarious, though...it's perfect for the story behind the card. I can't wait to shoehorn it intp a casual deck and watch people grumble.

Fanatic is possibly abusable...we're not going to have anything as broken as Restoration Angel to lean on, but there will be ways to get multiple triggers. It has some potential in Limited as well.

I thought about the Trojan horse a few days ago, how they would do that as a card. Akroan Horse is perfect, really nice design.

I'm actually thinking the Fanatic will see some decent play. You can build around him nicely.

I suddenly have the urge to rebuild my Kiki-Jiki EDH deck... That Fanatic seems good.

I really wish the whip didn't have the "if it leaves the battlefield, exile it instead" clause. Exile at end of turn is fine, but I want to make use of my dies triggers damnit!

Akroan Horse should have cost three and it shouldn't have the creature type Horse. It's clearly a Construct.

I wonder if we'll see how it fits into the theros storyline. It seems that Akros is a thriving city, so perhaps the Akroans are the ones who built the horse, not the ones receiving it.

i forgot that boros reckoner works with it from the time it was spoiled until this exact moment and wow that is a pretty powerful interaction.
hybrid mana works with devotion, right?

No, he meant BTE. BTE gives you two devotion to red.

Zealot also seems fine because aside from Gorehose Chain Walker what are you BTEing into

Young Pyromancer
Firefist Striker
Magma Jet
Lightning Strike
Another BTE
Any 1-drop
Activating the ability on Firedrinker Satyr

BTE has its uses.
