It's a bit expensive for my tastes but it is a powerful drop with haste. I wouldn't normally bother with it but I feel compelled to build a deck around it.
Myself and a friend have picked up six of these things in recent weeks through opening boosters and only a single Loxodon Smiter. Where's the fairness in that? Now I'll actually have to find an excuse to use them.
It probably packs a punch in limited but I can't face taking another one in draft.

This thing is freaking scary in Limited. I imagine it'll be a high pick if you're drafting Rakdos. 6 power with first strike for 6 is pretty nasty on its own, but with haste, too!

This card is very hoarse to deal with in Limited.

In limited, this usually comes too late for the Rakdos finish : your opponent already has some critters to block this non-trampling monster. In constructed, this doesn't come any near other 6-drops that are playable. A disappointing Rakdos "champion" (waiting for Sinker).

It's a shame they didn't have an unleash rare that wasn't a smattering of keywords

This is a great nightmare. First strike and haste are a scary combo especially when used by pros like me.
