P3K in Legacy

[The Law]

With the explosion of Legacy-related discussion on the net recently due to the Legacy Pro Tour coming up, I've been wondering if we can expect to see anything from Portal: Three Kingdoms hit the stage. In my experience, only a small handful of people have any P3K cards. I have a few, but not enough to make anything meaningful. However, anyone who does use P3K in Legacy will probably find Horsemanship is identical to Unblockable. This could make a UG deck with fatties and blue protection crazy if Sun Quan is thrown in. In fact, any blue deck could benefit from Broken Dam's "Tap two creatures without horsemanship." The only problem is that there are no instants, but you can just grab those from other sets.

Anyhow, the point:
Do you have any P3K? Enough to build a deck based around it?
Do you play against anyone, frequently or infrequently, who runs P3K?
Would a Horsemanship deck stand a chance in a Legacy Tournament, especially against Threshold?

Are there set plans for a Legacy PT, or is it just speculation?

All I have from Portal 3 are some Japanese basics, and I don't think there are that many playable cards in the set besides those.

There are a few legacy playables including:

Ravages of War
Rolling Earthquake
Imperial Recruiter
Strategic Planning

Don't run a deck based on P3K, run a deck with it... The horsemanship creatures, I'm afraid, are mostly relatively inferior in Legacy, save the blue legends and possibly the alternate 'specter', though It would probably be third-tier in such a deck. I've used Sun Quan before to swing tides in Survival in cases I needed to swing through a mob. I've also run a goblin hate deck that runs Rolling Earthquake in tandem with Stuffy Doll, Soltari Priest, and Silver Knight. For filling a graveyard while maintaining card quality, Strategic Planning is great, combining the dump of a careful study with 3/4 of an Impulse. I run it as a secondary cantrip behind Careful Study for such purposes. Riding the Dilu Horse is great because it is essentially a creature enchantment that can *never* be removed and essentially makes a creature completely unblockable. I don't think anything in the game does beyond killing the creature in question, but I can't find a deck it would 'fit' in. Imperial Recruiter has been a staple of Aluren... Then there's Ravages of War and Burning of Xinye... They always find play.

What? A creature for 4UU?

I run a weird survival deck... with Hunting Grounds. I drop him that way and plow with everything on the board. Or drop him in play with Loyal Retainers. Unblockable Tarmogoyfs. Hurt.

When and where was a Legacy Pro tour announced?

A Legacy PT? Are you sure you didn't dream this up?

[Anusien]

They cut a Pro Tour, and the there formats have already been announced. There's no word on a Legacy PT this year, and it's unlikely (but cool) they'll spend one of the three on the format.

I heard it months ago on a third-party website. In retrospect, it may have been whisperings that Worlds Memphis would include Legacy. Regardless, it was a third-party website and I failed to be clear; I had just woken up at the time.

Thanks for your insight, everyone.

Eh?

P3K was part of a starter set released a decade ago (1999) that has some decent art (all white-bordered) and a limited number of playable cards that porcupinetreeman mentioned above. Any deck built around P3K would be necessarily casual and, well, really bad. Locked.
