Side-saddle, duh. ;)

In all seriousness, this card is actually pretty good. A 2/2 for 2 with Protection isn't bad, and Merfolk have a lot of buff's that could help him gain islandwalk and higher stats.

3/5

Maybe the seahorse just kind of drags him along while he holds on. Gotta feel sorry for the guy who got an art de***ion telling him to draw a merfolk riding a seahorse.
Stupid spellchecker should be reconfigured to recognize Magic related words like merfolk or mana or darksteel and CMC.

Part of Invasion's cycle of 2-mana friendly color gold common creatures, all of which had protection from their shared enemy color:

Galina's Knight - WhiteBlue (Merfolk Knight)
Llanowar Knight - GreenWhite (Elf Knight)
Shivan Zombie - BlackRed (Barbarian Zombie)
Vodalian Zombie - BlueBlack (Merfolk Zombie)
Yavimaya Barbarian - RedGreen (Elf Barbarian)

Apocalypse, two sets later, released an interesting cycle of 2-mana enemy color gold common creatures, all of which had different abilities:

Gaea's Skyfolk - GreenBlue (Elf Merfolk)
Goblin Legionnaire - RedWhite (Goblin Soldier)
Llanowar Dead - BlackGreen (Zombie Elf)
Putrid Warrior - BlackWhite (Zombie Soldier - later Warrior was added)
Razorfin Hunter - BlueRed (Merfolk Goblin)

As for this card itself, this is one of the better creatures in the cycle. N... (see all)

@Kryptnyt: Merfolk vs. Vedalken is a pretty big one too.

How exactly does a Merfolk ride a Seahorse?
