Everyone is talking about their Zedruu decks, but you can also put it into a Glissa, the Traitor deck.
When it inevitably dies (blocking Glissa, or sacrificed, or something), it counts as a creature an opponent controls. Then Glissa's ability triggers and she gets to pull it out of your graveyard for another go-round. It's hilarious.

Looking at Goblin Assault, Bitterblossom, and Honden of Life's Web, this card doesn't seem all that bad. It costs 1 more than the Assault and gives the opponent a Steel Wall, but since you're getting a token every turn, you can pretty quickly overrun them. It doesn't play nice with any 3-power creatures you have, but in a token deck one more blocker won't slow you down too much.
The real downsides are that you can't attack with anything that has 4+ power without losing your tokens, the Horse doesn't survive through wrarth effects, and anyone playing sac effects will just laugh in your face.
It's no Bitterblossom, but hey, it's colorless and the Blossom kinda made Standard revolve around itself for a fair while. Plus, this thing has some crazy political potential in mutliplayer.

In an EDH game a week ago I was given this by another player, when my turn rolled around I played out Elesh Norn. We never did figure out why dead soldiers were pouring out of the horse, maybe they forgot to put breathing holes in it or something? x)

this card is obviously great in a deck build on soldiers, and speed. Hypothetically, dropping this on turn 4, then turn 5 a crusaders so every time a token hits the battle field under your control all your creatures get +1/+1. which isn't too hard, in a Red/White deck. u'd just have to build in a decent removal spell to deal with him...

I'm surprised no one mentioned the synergy with Purphoros yet

Now this is designing with multiplayer in mind!
