good card for casual red burn decks, since you usually have no hand anyway. Powerful with ball lightning.
by having no hand, i mean by turn 4-5 =P

Kurraga has right idea with using the spirit guide i knew the spirit guide was good when i saw him,when i tested him he went beyond expectations. but bonus he gets you closer to hellbent. I was leaning on a boros swiftblade or viashino slaughtermaster in my deck idea. slightly different none the same.

A decent aura in Red, seeing how lots of burn decks are great at emptying their hands.

Nice pump even if you don't have Hellbent.

I recently picked up the Rakdos bloodsport deck and at first thought I bought a deck I wouldnt really use. Now after a month and trying it out I love the mechanics of hellbent. Taste for mayhem went great with the demonic jesters that came in my deck and and I was able to bring the pain rather quickly with the card. I hope that they will bring more cards with hellbent to the game. Its great for people who like to play with a little risk!

I like this card, becase it CAN make my deck win on turn 2, (without disruption)
Turn 1: Lay Mountain and play Goblin Guide, then exile Simian Spirit Guide to enchant it with Taste for Mayhem, and Swing for 4.
Now you should have 3 cards in hand.
Turn 4: Lay mountain, use 2 mountains and another Spirit Guide to cast Ball Lightning, and you should have 1 card in your hand (that you drew this turn). Now you can play your Fireblast, saccing your 2 mountains and putting your opponent on 12, as well as making Goblin Guide a 6/2, now swing with both your 6 power creatures for the win!
It never happens, but 1 mana for 6 damage going somewhere isn't bad, I think this card should be rated higher. 4.0 for me.

In-block, this owned Limited with the likes of Flaring Flame-Kin. A decent, cheap enchantment that can potentially net you 4 or more damage for a single 
. While nowhere near as good as something like Rancor in constructed, nevertheless this is quite a decent power booster.
