So,while thinking of a new deck ida I thought about go with something that I think isn't played very often that being cards with horsemanship there's a total of 36 of them.
So,what does the group mind think? I think if done right it would do some serious damage.
Horsemanship is like Shadow - they're both so underused that they might as well read unblockable. (This is why Dauthi Embrace is one of the best black enchantments for an aggro deck.)

thats why I was thinking of making a junky 5 color horsemanship deck,i'll have to see what my budget preemits me in the way of a manabase
Oh wow, a Thieving Magpie with Horsemanship. Thanks for mentioning it!
A nice bonus from Horsemanship in this format is that it lets you dodge Rolling Earthquake.
Lu Xun is sick and massively underplayed. Lady Zhurong costs like 2-3x more even though she sucks by comparison. Just slap some swords of x and y onto lu xun and you have a seriously dangerous clock.
I bought one for $12 (with free shipping) last week...seems like a nasty and easy to build deck.

Hermes_ if you're on a budget, you should probably look at Sun Quan, or Vela with Sun Quan and Dauthi Embrace in the 99. Yeah Vela is no Sun Quan, but she gives you access to another color and her other ability is pretty cool too. Five color manabases aren't very cheap, and as Darcykun says, P3K stuff isn't all that cheap either, depending on the card.
Sun Quan was reprinted in a FTV set, so his price can be lower in reprinted form similar Xiao the One Eyed. Overall, it seems that over time they're also trying to reprint more from P3K since it has grown to become a cult classic.

well so far the most pricey one is 34 dollars,so I wont get that card,but as for the manabase it wont be optimized at all, IE no fetches,no shocks etc
Most of the little creatures with horsemanship are roughly around $1 - $2 depending on the card. I picked up two when I was considering a Mimeoplasm deck, Wei Strike Force and Wu Elite Cavalry.
Decided against it for other reasons, mainly because all my good graveyard based effect cards were in Xiahou Dun.
Depends on what you want to do with the horsemanship. Army of 99.9% of the time unblockable creatures? Giving Mimeoplasm a horse? Run a Voltron style horsemanship general?

...though I wish I had a riding the dilu horse! (Notice that it doesn't say "until end of turn")
Fortunately, both can go in a Rafiq voltron deck!
Edit:
Xiahou Dun is also pretty good, but not for his horsemanship. And Lu Xun is a nearly-unblockable looter.

You could run some inexpensive (money wise) horsemanship in Mimeoplasm.
