Put 3 or 4 copies of the above cards in a deck that is either mono black or black + any other color. Xiahou will return Profane Command back to your hand from the grave and vise versa. Hence, each card can recur the other repeatedly every turn. At about turn 6, it can become quite powerful...enjoy!!

**Edit** - On the upper right corner it says this combo costs $46. It seems to me that is an error. I just priced those cards on mtgotraders.com, and they cost $.60 cents & $.12 cents each respectively (as of this post)

Pricey mana wise, but good none the less.

I found it on Star City Games for $112. I wonder why. . .?

cool, buy it on mtgotraders and then sell it to starcity :)  

I assume mtg online still has the option to turn a virtual deck into a real one. and is mtgotraders compatable with mtg online

Why is it that much though?

a few reasons, Turbine:

Horsemanship is like Flying, but since Horsemanship creatures only exist  in Portal 3 (which hit outrageous prices when all the portal sets became tournament legal earlier this year), Horsemanship is most likely an unblockable creature in a deck that uses them.

Most of the Portal 3 cards combo well with other cards, such as the one posted here (which was actually part of a monoblack EDH deck that was listed a while back on MTGSalvation).   Case in point: Loyal Retainers + Iona in a Survival of the Fittest deck means turn 1 or 2 Iona.  pretty dumb. lol

Here is the link to the price of $.12 cents: http://www.mtgotraders.com/store/ME3_Xiahou_Dun_the_One-Eyed.html

Curiously, online it belongs to the "Masters Edition 3" set, NOT Portal. That may explain the OUTRAGEOUS dichotomy in price difference.

Also, gericault5, in order to redeem online cards for paper, you need to draft ALOT and own 4  copies of every single card in a set.  For me that's way too time consuming; besides the fact I stopped playing paper over 2 years ago.

no, the reason for the difference in price is that online, its only worth 12 cents. for a REAL copy, its 160 dollars.

The reason it is cheap online is that online you have to go back to classic for it to be legal. By that point there are so many options that while horsemanship is as good as unblockable, there are many things that are. It becomes much cheaper because of that.
