Another thought is Pyroclasm mentions words from a bogardan mage."When the air burns, only death breathes deep." —Bogardan mage
If it has Flash then there is no need for haste.
The legal Lancer has Flanking instead of firststike. Suq'Ata Lancer So its time for my stupid guess.
Bogardan Lancer 2RR
Creature - Human Knight
Flash
Flanking
When Bogardan Lancer comes into play it deals 2 damages to all other creatures and two damage to you.

Looking at this picture, i don't really see any flavor that hints at it being black except for the skulls dangling form the mouth of the hourse and his sterups. There is way to much flavor in this card for it to not be mono red.
I really like how everyone has designed a card just from a look at the picture...I guess a picture is worth a thousand words.

What about the fact that the horse is almost a copy of the old Nightmare? Jet-black hide, flaming hooves, mane and tail, and the harness makes its head look exactly like the old 'mare's.
IMHO, this is a black/red knight with flanking (horse), first strike (lancer - a quick search reveals that 5 out of 9 MTG lancers have first strike, and 2 of the rest are Portal pieces), and flash (Bogardan in TS).
Especially in TS block, the nostalgic references are greatly emphasized in the cards and therefore it is possible to guess the card abilities, Carniestar.

Any thoughts that this might be a specter of some sort? .... if its riding a nightmare... nightmare flies and all guys riding flying black creatures are specters... i dont know i mite be crazy

I always thought that Nightmare should have fear instead of flying.
I mean, I guess they made Nightmare before they keyworded fear, but it's still really a disconnect to me. Too bad they can't (or wont) errata out the flying for fear. Although that would be a pretty severe errata... doubtless it would piss off everyone.
awesome art! that guy better watch out though, because if he thrusts taht spear too hard and to fast, the blade in the back might slice his arm:o
I'm not calling it or anything, but I think it might be noteworthy that the back of the spear does look like it could be the red kicker logo from the invasion alliance glyph. So this card could have a red-colored kicker ability.
Cool art. A flanking, bushido guy would be cool, but this guy doesn't look like he has anything to do with bushido.
They've married bushido and samurai pretty tightly. Something tells me that they won't put bushido on a non-samurai, if nor no other reason than the fact that "bushido" is an oriental name that won't apply well to other environs. Still, it ticks me off that they would come up with a better template for flanking and then give it such a flavor-specific name.
I like it, but since he's riding Nightmare, maybe that card plays into the ability too. How about this minor change:
:2mana::symr::symr:
First Strike, Haste.
When ~this~ comes in to play, it deals X damage to target creature or player, where X is the number of swamps you control.
2/2
The fact that this card has a nightmare as a mount is getting overlooked too much. It's a signifigant thing to do, as a nightmare is a powerful creature, not just some random unicorn.
Not all of the bogardan cards have 187 abilities, so this doesn't have to have one, even if that is likely. The blunted end of the spear may make it a pole-mace and indicate that this card doesn't have first strike.
It has a volcano in the background and appears to have that Torchling mask on. The art just speaks of something red, but his mount speaks something more to me. As has been stated, that's no regular horse he's on. Flaming mane, flaming tail, and flaming hooves all on a black horse are highly significant to a Nightmare. Is it related to black in some way? Maybe, but it's possible that his mount is just a red mount (thundermare-esque) and because it may look similar to Nightmare, doesn't mean it is. According to what has been said, he's most definitely going to be a flanking knight I believe. My guess is that we end up with something like so....
Red Flanky Knight :1mana::symr::symr:
Creature - Human Knight (U)
Flanking
3/2
...although I would hope for something more along RE's idea. Oh well, only time will tell.
They said in some recent Magicthegathering.com article that knoghts all ride horses and knights flank (like they would have gone back and changed Haakon if they could). I think it's a pretty good bet that he has flanking - not necessarily first strike, because (non-first-strikey) knights often have lances, but maybe.
Well, generally cards like Allosaurus Rider where the creature is shown to be mounted on a creature use the power/toughness of the mount (I think).
I think this guy might have p/t equal to the number of mountains you control. That could be pretty cool.
Wizards is all over the place on mounts. They have no unified mount policy. They're all over the board when it comes to abilities, creture types, P&T, etc, and whether they come from the mount or rider.
You never know which is going to be used for any of those.
Given the lance...First Strike
Being red...Haste
Being Bogardan...Deals CIP damage
?
Bogardan Lancer 2RR
First Strike, Haste.
When ~this~ comes in to play, it deals 2 damage to target creature or player.
2/2
sure why not.
[CARD]
Outrider en-kor[/CARD] has a lance and flanking. Why not Flanking. They already gave us a taste of Red flanking this block in Blazing Blade Askari.

Knightmare's power and toughness are equal to the number of swamps you control.
If you paid the kicker cost, Knightmare gains "Knightmare's power and toughness are equal to the number of mountains and swamps you control instead."

hmm interesting.. heres the thing about the black horse.. It could be red.. its just been bred near a volcano.. or is made of obsidain or some other Volcano-esque material.
a red order knight would be cool. I just hope its not thrown on some crappy card.
After further study, I'm fairly certain its a rebel.. so probably black card with red kicker.. unless they have red rebels in FS..
Though the mount is definitely a nightmare, I don't think it ties in mechanically to the card, but is rather just a flavorful thing. Red has a similar mount already in Thundermare, so this could easily be Flamemare; cousin to Night and Thundermare. Besides, Nightmare should have been red from the beginning. Or black/red. It's ON FIRE!
And so I have something useful to contribute, here is a quick mock-up/prediction of the final product:
It has Flanking cause he's a knight and a horse, First strike since it's a knight with a spear, Haste because I just want it to have haste!:rolleyes:
Anyway its firebreathing ability is powered by B, and only if you control a swamp. The firebreathing in terms of how much black mana you have is a throwback to Nightmare.
I made it a PC timeshift since it looks cool that way:D.
especially because we have no reason to think this card has "bogardan" in its name!
Except that the picture came with that name. There seems to be no doubt by anybody that this is FS-art, although the source is unclear. Then why doubt the name that was attached to it?
Knights are prone to flanking on horses. I would be sold on this card having flanking and provoke if someone could say otherwise. Vigilance might be correct yes or a 'walk'?
But he seems to me he would have some kind of other effect not nesscesarily 187 but maybe pay mana tap like Ebon or pay mana tap and do something like, other plain red dudes.
"Red Knight" :2mana::symr::symr:
