Strategy
Synergies
* Robots: The swarm strategy of Robots compliments Mythic Horses well, and powers up Starlyte and the Encouragement Powers to boot. Adventure Power allows for strategic convergence onto a base. Super Future Space Armor Power is a brutal follow up to a Robot swarm.
* Fairies: Titania offers an extra minion play, which Mythic Horses always appreciate. Enchantment can buff your minions, though be aware that it buffs other players' minions as well.
* Mythic Greeks: Jason likes having extra minions to buff with his Ongoing ability, and Friendship Power returns itself to your hand, giving you a guaranteed action play every turn to help build up Spartans or any minion with Odysseus.
* Magical Girls: Mythic Horses like having extra minions on bases, Magical Girls like having extra minions on bases. Their strategies naturally go hand-in-hand (or hand-in-hoof, as the case may be). Magical Girls offer a lot of control and recursion to compliment Mythic Horses' focus on increasing power. Coordination is a fine compliment to Togetherness Power for extra minion plays, and Adventure Power is great for converging your minions onto one base.
* Grimms’ Fairy Tales: Grimms loves pairing up specific minions, which fits right in to Mythic Horses' playbook. Thanks to Seastar's text mentioning its own name, Teamwork allows you to fetch and play another Seastar on the same base, potentially netting an extra minion play from hand in the process.
* Mermaids: An interesting blend of anatagonistic and supportive movement, with opportunities to gain power from both your own and other players' minions.
* Sheep: Sheep love to follow other minions to bases, and Horses have the replayable Friendship Power to let you move a minion whenever you need. With Starlyte or Encouragement Power, you can move a lot of power between bases at once.
