People, a five star card is one that is awesome no matter the deck, not one that needs a convoluted cheese combo in order to be awesome.

I'm not sure who convinced you workhorse/persist were an infinite mana combo, but it's far from it. I can see why you'd think "persist until end of turn" would mean what it sounds like. However, a card returned from the graveyard is considered a new object. The fact is, when the card dies once, it comes back without persist. Yes, even if it's still the same turn. Cauldron of Souls is also the only potentially infinite way to give your horse persist, unless you're also turning it white or playing cauldron haze from the graveyard (perpetually.) At the very least, you need a third card to (also perpetually) untal CoS. See guys? Magic isn't as broken as we thought. Anyone worried about infinite mana loops and helix pinnacle, just stock tempest of light or spring cleaning on your sideboard. Infinite mana loop turns into infinite mana burn, and your opponent dies. Tranquility takes care of this just as well, although it doesn't have the fun side effect of killing your opponent during their mana loop :) The reality of this card is that any good beatdown deck is going to kill the opponent before this win condition works.

ok all of your comments have pretty strong points, but seriously who cares? If you and your peers don't like this "style" then don't play it. And if you do, great! More power to you. that's why there are thousands of cards, for thousands of possibilities. Oh and p.s. if you want to win the game you could just play a mox lotus! and don't go whining about how you don't like unhinged cards. i really don't care

Or just use Workhorse + [Persist] (there's numerous ways to get persist). Infinate mana with just 2 cards...

totally disagree with first and second raters. it is cards like this, that add alternate dimensions and alternate paths to travel when creating your deck, adding diversity. it is actually cards like this that MAKE magic fun and inventive pack after pack. also, if you are looking for infinite mana, try bloom tender/freed from the real OR bloom tender/umbral mantal/scuttlemutt (pinicle, tender and freed is a 4 turn win!)

Yep, just do an infinite mana combo (runed stalactite, magus of the candelabra, life and limb, overgrowth) and you win. Or throw it into a GBWr deck with 4 Birds of Paradise, 4 Lanowar Elves, 4 Devoted Druid, 4 Wall of Roots (they make great defenders while you're building up mana) for mana; 4 Dark Ritual and maybe Cabal Ritual for extra mana; 4 Prismatic Lens and just anything adds mana every turn. Throw in life gain and some Wall of Swords and other white defenders and pretty soon you'll have an amazing deck. Maybe even add 4 Glorious Anthem and 4 Gaea's Blessing, and splash red for pyroclasm. You can go a whole lot of different ways with this card, and that's what makes it great =D.

Or throw it into an Elf deck with the Invinite mana/life combo and your all good to go.

Agree with the first review. If u want play that card try doubling season.

This is yet another card ruining the game of Magic. There are plenty of ways to win the game without playing a card that simply states, "....you win the game." Hopefully cards like this won't catch on and people will go back to building real decks.
