Them three-coloured two-drops from Alara Reborn will appreciate this, as A060Z mentioned. Other than that, needing three colours to make this worth using over Bonesplitter makes it kind of narrow.

Pretty much all my decks are two-colour, and I always find myself sticking one or two of these in. Yes, it's way more restrictive than Bonesplitter - but, for us casual players, Bonesplitters are getting a bit thin on the ground now. This thing is plentifully available.

I love cards that encourage multicolour, and besides, it just feels fairer to me. There's a bit more of a hoop to jump through for a cheap, reliable +2/+0. My various playgroups all have an unwritten "too-many-Bonesplitters-and-you're-just-being-kind-of-a-dick" rule. (Said rule is void if you run Goblin Gaveleer, because that guy is so rad.)

4.5/5 for being a reliable bro.

Swinging for 4 with a Rakdos Cackler turn 2 seems like a good Limited play. A Bonesplitter in the right deck, a worse Bone Saw if you don't have enough multicolored creatures. 3.5/5

Also: Rafiq of the Many. Ohhh yeah.

I want to pair it with Cartel Aristocrat. She becomes a 4/2 with conditional unblockable (and conditional shroud, which in her colors and their plethora of token generation, should be simple enough to maintain). I agree that this card isn't one of the best of the set, but I think that it could be worth a look. 3.5/5 (leaning toward 3.75).

Worse than bonesplitter most of the time, but if yuou got enough multicolored creatures... It's ok.

Turns Transguild Courier into a 8/3 for 6.

I can't wait until Gatecrash when they release the Urbanite Morningstar.

This is limited strategy that's better than it looks. equipe some evasive guy and you can deal a lot of damage easily. Skymarc Roc, stuff like that.
