Magic: The Gathering players looking for alternatives to Burnished Hart have a new option on the horizon. An upcoming release introduces a similar mechanical choice for decks operating without green mana access.

What Troop of Ponies Offers MTG Commander Decks
While Burnished Hart remains a staple ramp option for Commander decks lacking green access, the upcoming The Hobbit set introduces Troop of Ponies to fill a similar role. The synthetic stag long served as a straightforward means of sliding multiple lands into play simultaneously, but the incoming creature provides a remarkably similar effect at a significantly cheaper rate.
While it does not entirely power creep Burnished Hart out of the format, the addition gives players an alternative colorless ramp creature to consider when building non-green mana bases.
