Saved commander deck
Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
Aggressive mono-white tempo focused on unblockable horsemanship attackers and horse-tribal synergies to trigger Adeline while using obscure white resource recovery.
Prompt: Make me a deck based around Horsemanship that I'd easily a powerlevel 8 on the WOTC power scale. I want it fast and consistent using underrated but very strong cards to subvert the meta. Don't use any ramp that's very common for EDH. Use Ramp,removal,tutors, and more that aren't commonly used but are still good alternatives. Now make sure to stick to the theme of Horsemanship, Horses. And Knights basically anything that Is a horse and benefits horses and the support for horses and horsemanship. Also make it so that there's alot of interaction with other players keeping the game active and you always have resources
