If they make a Massacre Girl legend....... I won't know whether to be ecstatic or disturbed.

Ironically enough, this is one Rakdos card I probably won't want to unleash. The deathtouch arguably makes her better as a defender than as an attacker. Although, if your opponent has tramplers on his side, it may not matter as much.

This is a great card.
A 1/2 death-toucher for two mana is already nice by itself.
And for being a creature with Unleash,
she's a surprisingly good defensive option if you decide not to put a +1/+1 counter on her.
This makes her useful even later in the game to get rid of fatties on the ground.
Also she gets pretty cruel with Oona's Blackguard if you unleash her.

Comparing this to Thornweald Archer, it would seem like the Assassin here is a much better creature what with the potential for becoming a 2/3. However, considering it lacks reach and--most importantly--to get the +1/+1 it loses the ability to block, the Archer has the upper-hand. Perhaps it's just my play style, but I find deathtouchers work best as blockers, intimidating, taunting my opponent to attack as opposed to using them as quasi-unblockable creatures, letting my opponent decide the best outcome. Therefore, this is a card that probably would benefit most from not being unleashed and as such, being a 1/2 with deathtouch for 1B is good for Limited, but probably has better choices in Constructed.

As pointed out by others, this card is never obsolete. A 2/3 deathtouch on turn 2 is nothing to sneeze at, and late-game, the 1/2 will be good enough to make for a dangerous chump blocker. 4 stars.

Needed another cheap assassin for my tribal deck.

If you plan on unleashing this at the prerelease....be wary of Stab Wound. Nothing is quite as satisfying as turning your opponent's turn 2 Thrill-Kill Assassin into a 0/1 creature that drains them 2 life per turn.

This just severed my last lingering thread of love for Erg Raiders.
