Dat Horse.

When I first saw Akroan Horse spoiled, I thought, "the flavor for this card is awesome." This was immediately followed by the thought, "I will never play that card."

Well, I'm hoping to prove myself wrong.

My play is to control the board completely with counter spells and Supreme Verdict and then plant a horse or two on my opponents battlefield. Then, I'll just allow my soldiers to tick into play.

But wait! Here's the key combo piece...

Gideon, Champion of Justice

With his +1 ability, I want my opponent to have lots of creatures on the board! So each horse not only gives me a 1/1 soldier each upkeep, but it also bumps gideon closer and closer to his game-ending ultimate.

But wait! There's even more!

Perplexing Chimera not only forces my opponent to always hesitate before casting a spell, but it also can become another creature on my opponents board, thus adding to gideon's +1!

One more piece-- Clone let's me drop more horses or more chimera's when needed, or just copies the scariest threat out there.

The rest of the spells are staple control spells meant to keep everything in order before and after the combo is setup.

I really want to make this deck happen...strictly for the lolz... but if it could also win on occasion, that'd be great too. So, help me out here!
