There ought to be a huge explosion on the background of the art.

Really doesn't deserve the rating it has right now. Would've been beautiful with haste, but haste doesn't really strike me as a "haters gonna hate" kinda thing. 3/5
Arguments about the gameplay merits of the card aside, just look at the guy. If they could see him rollin', they would indeed be hatin'.

Slith Firewalker trading haste for costing one less. Not bad at all for a deal.

Awesome art. James Ryman must have seen that 'DiCaprio strutting' meme from Inception and thought: OMG VAMPIRE.
The execution is perfect. Cards like this are why I love Magic.

Totally shut down by Defensive Stance. That's gotta make this guy uncomfortable.

This and Reckless Waif more than justify the existence of Geistflame. I'm not actually one of those 'dies to Doom Blade' n00bs- instead, it's painfully obvious that of those three red one-drops, the non-creature is strictly worst. What I'm trying to point out is, that because these two very top-notch creatures do happen to be vulnerable to that card, and that card also has Flashback, and we haven't yet seen the rest of the block's Flashback support, that I foresee Geistflame becoming very important tech against guys like this.
I am so going to build a Werewolf Deck, and a Vampire Deck though. Ever since Sorin Markov showed up in Zendikar I've really wanted to build a deck with the most elegantly elitist Vampires I can think of. So far it looks like the bloody savages are going to be more playable, but Stromkirk Noble and Kalastria Highborn are a match made in heaven for me. I really really hope that Sorin 2.0 is as disgustingly sauve looking and as much of an ass hole as Jace 2.0.... (see all)

Is that the Elite Inquisitor in the background?

As if wizards... you made THE perfect haters gonna hate card.
I've never wanted to do a vampire deck this badly. Just so I could play this dude first turn.

Don't compare him to Goblin Guide because they're completely different styles of play.
With Goblin Guide, your only option is to attack. Meaning he's a lot more aggressive, but at the same time very reckless. Goblin Guide is predictable; however, one of the most effective cards at what he does.
With this guy on the other hand, you don't always attack with. He's a little slower, but also comes with no downside. Everything about him is pure benefit. Also, if you can give him Double Strike early, you essentially win the game.
