Card is good, not super impressive.

Slots perfectly into Boss Sligh.
You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.

Beatdown is hard, though.

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.

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

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 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.
