Come on, this card is high on the COOL factor. It's a flaming clown! The great downside is that by the time in the game you draw him, you want to be removing land cards off the top of the deck instead of non-land cards; if it was the other way around it would be very powerful along with a Goblin Spy or a similar effect. As it is, it's a decent card with an unique ability that with any creativity at all is much better than Flame Spirit.

Could be used with goblin recruiter. And even then, it just says "(R): +2/+0 til EOT"
Terrible

No this can go very high with +2/0 per Red, but you are exiling non-land cards from your library. Better give him some protection and evasion/trample before gambling your library away.

Decent with stuff like Lantern of Insight, Orcish Spy or Goblin Spy (as others have pointed out already). Note that you can also use him to remove unwanted land cards from the top of your library (but you should do that after combat, for obvious reasons :) ).

A good card to have, but only if you know what the top card of your library will be. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend playing him, since he'll probably be 0/4 most of the time then or you'll waste tons of mana for very little benefit.

Can be tons of fun in the right deck though. 3/5.

Nice card, makes you think, and you can build nice decks around him.

Once you removed the lands from your library (there are enough ways to do that), he is quite strong. Pay a mere three mana, and he is 8/4 until end of turn. That should normally kill any player quite quickly. In case of doubt, add Mirror of Fate to your deck. And add fling.

Sure, he ain't a Tier 1 powerhouse, but I think most people don't even try think on how to make him work. Exiling cards is by default no problem. Once you stripped the lands from your library, it's basically impossible to mill yourself. You'd, before that happens, have easily killed any opponents.

2/5 for beeing not too strong
4/5 for beeing creative
I give him a 3/5.

A conditional 4/4 for {2}{R}{R} at best? No thank you.
