I don't know why, but I'm not too impressed with this guy. You end up paying a total of 7 CMC for a flying, first strike 3/1, most of which only lasts until the end of the turn? The protection from white and black in this case acts as more of a drawback, as it blocks Edge of the Divinity. Would like to see at least +1+1 for 
. I am fairly new to Magic, is there something I'm missing?

Does his protection mean that the effect of knight exemplar doesn't apply?

Nice. But I still don't buy Headless Horseman being a Knight. And I still question 'Zombie' over "Spirit' for his other creature type (the Horsemans, that is, although the flying ability of this guy makes more sence if he's a ghost, ie: a Spirit).

if you want to kill a creature, give it first strike and an appropriate boost to power. if you want to kill a player, give it flying and an appropriate boost to power.

I run this guy in a mono-black zombie deck. Undead Warchief and Death Baron make him one nasty beater.

Hmm... I now have a hankering to make a Necromancer's Covenant deck with this card included.

Sword of Fire and Ice . Boom.
(PS- Torchling and Thornling watchers- I think this guy is as good as you can expect for Whiteling or Blackling. There's no way those cards will actually be as good as this actually.)

I'm surprised none's mentioned this card's interaction with Sword of Fire and Ice, it's kind of good.

Would love to see Christopher Rush's take on this card

The problem is now there's green removal that can nail him. Hornet Sting and Plummet, although both incredibly narrow, are also surprisingly useful in any mono-green.
I'm also surprised no one has mentioned efficient burn cards such as Forked Bolt, Arc Trail, Electrolyze (I shot down a fresh Plated Geopede and Steppe Lynx with this beauty), (Which I personally use in Counterburn) Gut Shot (playable in ALL decks, including ones without basic Mountains, so take care he doesn't get splash-hated by anti-Delver of Secrets decks), format all-star Lightning Bolt and his pal Searing Blaze, Classic Goodie Fireball, Disintegrate, Red Sun's Zenith, Magma Spray, Kam... (see all)
