A great red take on Overrun, but don't forget that this also gives your deathtouchers first strike as well. This means that attacking into big defenders becomes a decision point for your opponent - do they take the damage, or lose their blocker? If they block, they lose their creature. If they do not, you can then pump up the creature they let through for nasty damage. Also blocking makes creatures with infect a potentially tough decision.

The fact that it is a sorcery feels very red to me, and makes a lot of sense from a flavor standpoint. Buying everybody cleavers and handing them out will not surprise your opponent - and they're not there for defense.

For the more math-minded, here's a little chart to demonstrate the math of double strike, using 2/2 creatures as an illustration:

Cast with 1 2/2 creature: 4 damage.
Cast with 2 2/2 creatures: 8 damage.
Cast with 3 2/2 creatures: 12 damage.
Cast with 4 2/2 creatures: 16 damage.
Cast with 5 2/2 creatures: 20... (see all)

Savage Beating demands 3RedRed, but is much more versatile than this, since it can also be used as Relentless Assault.
It even has Entwine 1Red. It's probably what you want to play instead if you thought Cleaver Riot might fit in your deck.
