@Atali Unfortunately wizards was very clear that, despite appearances, they were not transfering loooting to Red. MaRo went quite far out of his way in one of his articles to say that they simply weren't doing that and we'd be able to tell because red woud have the effect by 'reckless' and 'inefficient'. So it's completely different

Hey, I'm all for red looters, even if they're not great. And this is totally limited playable.
This goes great with Squee, especially since they're both goblins.

Points for being a goblin, but there are other red draw spells that do it much better, and in standard.

The entire reason he is a crap body was that he was supposed to be a sacrifice if someone used spot removal in standard.
This card did amazing things at the 2013 standard tournament. You really don't want to waste removal on him and if you don't he'll give amazing momentum to folks, after a while you just DON'T need lands and he turns every land draw into another card potentially...
Not everything is designed for modern or for some generic archetype that everyone runs thinking they are clever.

I think your all forgetting the important thing about this little guy-he's a goblin. He's let's goblin players have a loot/draw card that's also a potential soldier, given some buffs from a Goblin Chieftain or goblin caves. He also works well with Krenko, Mob Boss, the Goblin MacDaddy from the same set.

It's a start. I definitely hope red's looters get lower in mana cost, and even that the discarding of a card is removed from the cost (e.g., "{T}: Discard a card, draw a card" instead of this so that it works with empty hands more like red's Wheel of Fortune effects do. But even if that never happens, I will easily take worse-than-blue draw over nothing, as "just splash blue" is not always the solution for casual players - especially Commander ones who are forced by the color identity rule to their commander's colors and may not wish to change commanders to add blue card draw.After all, red looting is still mostly better than white's card draw!

Mad Prophet was actually a fine card in limited. I don't expect Rummaging Goblin to be a low pick since it is the only looter in M13 and is one of the better red commons.
