Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.

TROJAN HORSE!
I love the idea, but hate the card. That is simply too much mana for a 1/1 every turn + giving your opponent a creature to block with and the opportunity to block/kill it with little reward.
When I think of the Trojan Horse I don't see 1/1 creatures coming out every turn. I see ten 1/1 creatures all coming out at the same time.
Maybe something like this:

Akroan Horse comes into play with 3 offering counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove an offering counter from Akroan Horse. When there are no offering counters on Akroan Horse, sacrifice it. Your opponent may put ten 1/1 white soldier creature tokens into play.

Why bother to make it wait so long. No one hid inside the trojan horse for days. Simply make it

At first i thought this card sucked because it gave the opponent the horse AND the tokens, but then i figured that the opponent gets the horse and then the opponents opponent (Which is you) now get the tokens. Sweet! I like it
I also don't like the fact that this thing just sprouts infinite soldiers every turn. How many soldiers can cram inside?!
I would also prefer it more if it was Construct instead of a Horse.

I'll definitely get four of these. It'll put a smile to my nephew's face. He still haven't beaten me and I've been teaching him the game for two months now.

its opponentS mind you. the card was catered to multi-player formats . plenty of use for it there
My reaction to this is complete confusion. The horse comes into play under an opponents control, and they 1/1 soldiers from it every turn? You get nothing? Why would you play this? Or have I read this wrong.
this card will be hilarious to play in draft and sealed, but i highly doubt this will see a play in anything even remotely competitive. even for a crappy fnm lol
i of course will get one of these, followed by the huge black demon guy, and 4 other rares that are all separate colors and cant be played together lol
Well, the card is "flavorful", but it doesn't do what a trojan horse should do. The soldiers opened the doors the first night and then the army ran into the city.
It wasn't one soldier coming out the horse every day. It should make a token, with "T: Creatures you control are unblockable this turn".
Yes, that would be extremelly weird and it would look very random, but it would be real flavor.
EDIT: And that BW angel from Gatecrash already made a token with an activated ability.
It isn't supposed to be the exact trojan horse, but have a similar flavor. The flavor of the trojan horse is a gift (hey you get a 0/4 blocker) that is a bane (but I gain a creature every turn). Think of the hacking program, for example.
Why not just reading the handful of posts in the thread before writing a question, which is likely to be answered there - and in fact is already answered?? So take a minute and read the earlier posts.
Satire sir, Satire.
You seem new here, thus you should try to see/read the satire and sarcasm in most posts before writing your question.
On another note, Why is this a rare? Uncommon would have been right for the total loss of a turn while playing....this. Need a smily face poking something disgusting while looking scared.
Flavor doesn't really make any sense to me. I know it's a reference to the Trojan horse, but if it's an artifact creature, why make it just to hold people inside when you can enchant it to go trample on the enemy? It's a giant horse for crying out loud, why enchant it so your enemy can use it to block you?
Not happy with the design as well. I think it would be cooler if you had to do something for an opponent to gain control of it (sac Forests, maybe) an then sac it for tokens.
When Akroan horse enters the battlefield, target opponent gains control of it.
At the begining of your upkeep, put a time counter on Akroan Horse. Then, at the end of your next end phase, if there is one or more time counters on Akroan horse, sacrifice it and put five 1/1 soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield under your opponent's control. Your life total becomes 5.
in the dead of night...
0/5
Probably could be worded better, the control-of wording confuses me. Obviously want the opp to go to five life and the player to get five soldiers
I just figured the life total becoming five was representative of the trojans sneaking out and sabotaging the city, then jumping out to do the killing blow. I made it a creature with defender, because it was. They could have used it like any other artifact wall. But i get your point totally. It did just sorta sit there
