Combo Machine!
This + Mystic Snake, Draining Whelk, or Venser, Shaper Savant= reusable Counterspell/Boomerang for 1U.
This guy can also blink himself to dodge removal,
or even to Soulbond with a different creature and blink *them* afterwards-
basically, this guy enables shenanigans galore in any format with plentiful mana.
And not to link to it again,
but Training Grounds will allow you to go even more blink-crazy with this guy.

Most Soulbond creatures have been straightforward beatdown enablers, but this one is Johnnytastic. I'm looking forward to using it with Evoke creatures, Mystic Snake, Acidic Slime, the Titans... So much potential!
EDIT: I just realized you can use this to reshuffle your soulbonders! Darn, I wish they had given us a legendary soulbonder...

Apart from the fact that this thing let me bounce my opponent's board with Mist Raven at the pre-release, the fact that this + Primeval Titan + Amulet of Vigor = basically every land in your deck, and infinite lawls, makes this totally a five star for me.

Kessig Malcontents and machinegun your opponent to death if you have enough humans in play.
Is it the best combo ever? No. But it's easy to pull off in limited if you first or second pack open a Navigator. humans is actually a surprisingly good midrange draft deck.

It's not bad to gain 5 lives and get a 3/3 for 2 mana.

One of my favorite designs from the new set. So. Much. Combo.
This is the kind of card that makes you want to know about it's story. It's to bad they didn't have room for flavor text.
On another note it also has some of the most beautiful art in the set imho.

5/5 combolicuous, but not OP, incredible bomb at the pre-release, him + any comes into play effect allowed me to dominate, Mist raven was my personal favorite to combo with him, and I would use him to reset undying counters, and he was what made me do so well in the prerelease.

Yanked a foil version during prerelease and had a ton of fun with Voice of the Provinces and Mist Raven. If I didn't already finish off an opponent with the Craterhoof Behemoth and a full board, I woulda abused the ETB on him too.
With the number of creatures with ETB effects, and not just in this set, the potential for abuse is huge. Get your Torpor Orbs now, while they're cheap.
If it weren't rare and 6CMC, it's be busted as hell.
