So hyped.

[Alex]

Eh. It isn't that impressive.

[Toblakai]

The next Tattermunge Maniac.

Card is good, not super impressive.

Slots perfectly into Boss Sligh.

[Jedi_Knight]

Good. Not something that made me shit my pants. Was hoping for Raid instead of Prowess, which makes for weird plays, but it's a one drop with potential, so I'll take it.

[TheCleaner]

Is there going to be another one(drop)?

[Kaitscralt]

Let me check with Wizards

[Khaospawn]

Make haste!

[Kaitscralt]

This card is actually pretty good

[Tyrael]

If someone manages to break Prowess this is gonna be an insane card

I don't know, wouldn't a 2/1 for 1 just be better ?
I am sure the black 2/1 that recurs from the grave, the black 2/1 with bestow and firedrinker satyr are better than this thing ..... i just don't like the fact that sometimes this will be just a hasty 1 power dude. And it also clashes a bit with foundry street denizen... denizen needs more creatures, this needs more spells ; and i'm sure i would always pick more creatures if i had to choose.
But i hope is possible to find the right balance and make both this and denizen awesome in the same deck

card is good but not the next coming of Goblin Guide that people are making it out to be.

Turn 1 Akroan Crusader. Turn 2 monastery swiftspear, titan's strength crusader, attack for 7. Turn 3, play monastery, double titan's strength, attack for 20.

I haven't seen anyone making it out to be that

I mean, I do see this as a great threat alongside Goblin Guide in Modern Burn. They both accomplish much of the same things, which is getting the opponent down to 10 life at the end of turn 2, when on the play.

For Standard, I see this as a generally powerful card alongside [card]Titan's Strength[/card] and other pump spells/burn.
