Very good in aggressive red/blue hybrid decks, though preexisting hyper-aggressive red/blue creatures are yet to be seen.

Can make an attack come out of nowhere and make it painfully hard to deal with later. While giving +2/+2 for 1 mana.

This seems like it would go perfectly with a certain pair of wizards.

This turns Frostburn Weird into a 3/6 haste shroud for 3 cmc that can swing for up to 8 later on. That is something you do not want to f*** with.

I play it in my casual-modern Izzet deck. It's cheap as hell, both in real money terms and mana terms (doesn't get cheaper than 1, shut up Little Girl ) and it gives +2/+2, haste and shroud to any creature I play it upon.
Basically it makes my dragonauts be for 3/5 straight from when they come into the field, and shroud isn't a drawback because they pump themselves and already have evasion in the form of flying, for 4 mana. It becomes a creature most opponents won't be able to get rid of, short of board wipes or spells that hit all creatures - and since you're playing Izzet, good chances you can counter those, and pump the Dragonaut in doing so. In short, you will keep hitting them for at least 3 until the end of the match and if you're in trouble a 5 toughness shrouded flying blocker will go a long way towards saving your ass.
tl;dr one mana to make your dragonauts unkillable and get +2/+2, plus it's dirt cheap. anything else you want? 5/5
edit: I didn't mentio... (see all)

Good, but not fantastic. In Izzet aggro this is rather nice for pumping and protecting one of your key creatures, like Wee Dragonauts or Izzet Cyclops (though it can still get 2 or more for 1'd in response).

@ MrBarrelRoll Clout can also refer to the influence/reputation of something, typically in an intimidating or otherwise imposing manner. Since this is part of the (Weapon) of the (spirit avatar) cycle, I'd say your definition is right but hey, its also a pun! :D
