Haste always tends to be underestimated. Lot of haste in this set and I believe control players may have a difficult time with it.

The flavor text really needs to add " Lets find out." to the end... And the card could really use unleash, but that'd probably be too much on a common. As is, I kinda like the little freak. He does his job well. Though, gore-house chainwalker is a bit better, in my opinion, though the walker cranks the BDSM up to 11 O.o
Edit:
@ toquinha:
Rakdos Cackler should be the singer, with his blade as the mic, Hellhole Flailer should be the drummer, since he looks like he's rocking some invisible drums, Grim Roustabout can be the bass player, and... Either Thrill-Kill assassin or Gore-house chainwalker can be the keyboard player

I see this coming down the turn after Rakdos Cackler for a very aggressive turn two in black/red decks.

Not amazing, but solid for a common.

5/5 for the flavor text. I wouldn't usually do that, but he is a solid card.

When I get some free time, I'm going to alter a bunch of these so he's shredding on an electric guitar. Who should be the drummer, bass player, keyboardist, and lead singer?
Human, so could see use in RDW tribal human, also with Boros Human tribal once Gatecrash drops.
edit: @NoIHavent - good suggestions, although I think I'll go with with Dead Reveler as the lead singer (the staff in his hands can easily be swapped out for a mic stand) and Splatter Thug on bass. Heck, he already looks like he's smashing a guitar.

I absolutely love this guy in draft, always ensures an aggressive turn 2.
I find it a bit challenging to beat an Azorius deck with the Grixis colors I usually run unless I come out swinging and keep up the pressure the whole game, and this guy perfectly fits that strategy.

This guy is my Friday night magic darling. He might be strictly worse than Ash Zealot but the great thing is you can play both of them! Makes for a really aggressive deck and if worse comes to worst he can chump block.

I really like this.
Also, this is the first Magic card with the word "freak" in its name.
