  • Ability to put a creature card with lesser power into play while attacking adds another layer of aggression and value.

  • Requires a deck built around Horse creatures or creatures with lower power to maximize its abilities.

Deck Utility:

• Horse Tribal Decks: A must-include in any deck focusing on Horses, as it grants them haste.

• Aggro Decks: Serves as a powerful top-end card that can bring in additional attackers.

• Token Strategies: Can be useful if you are running smaller creatures or tokens that can be brought in by its attack trigger.

Interactions and Combos:

• Crested Sunmare: Another Horse that could benefit from haste and potentially bring in indestructible Horse tokens.

• Relentless Assault: Allows for multiple attack phases, which in turn could trigger Shadowfax's ability more than once a turn.

• Herald's Horn: Can make Horses cheaper to cast, increasing the synergy with Shadowfax.

Its ability to bring other creatures into the battlefield tapped and attacking adds another dimension to its utility, making it a powerful inclusion in a variety of aggressive decks.
