This is just one of those cards that makes you want to play black. The moment I saw this card, I knew it would F#%^ up every deck I play.

Virulent Swipe makes for a mean 5/2 attacker that costs the opponent at least two cards. I quite like this guy in G/B, I bet rancor would make him insanely scary, given that trample + deathtouch means blocking is nigh pointless.

Casual deck with Precursor Golem and Xenograft ?

Seems pretty perfect in anything that has plenty of means of targeting this guy with spells. Putting Madcap Skills on him or casting Armed and/or Dangerous targeting him seems like it'd have good results.
A fused Armed // Dangerous on this guy can really wreck an opponent - they sac a creature, then deathtouch takes care of the rest.

Fun synergy with Hunger of the Howlpack in a Forbidden Forest (BG) themed modern deck. The Heroic ability goes on the stack after you play Hunger, so Hunger will always resolve in its morbid state.

I enjoy free edicts with my Madcap Skills.

This chap with Blade of the Bloodchief. Then target him with all the spells you want. Yummy.

I am unable to rate this card... On first look, it seems good, but I am curious about what deck it would go in.
Presumably a black deck that likes to target its own creatures, but such a deck would run the risk of having a lot of heroic-enablers in hand and no heroes on the board. If the heroic-enablers could double up as filling other roles it could perhaps be viable, unfortunately, none of the black Ravnica-charms seem able to fill this role....Flesh // Blood in a B/G/R-deck perhaps...? Bestow seems too slow for constructed.
I dunno, my card-evaluation skills are not the greatest, but I make two predictions:
1-It will drop significantly from its current 4.633 rating.
2-It will be a bomb in any limited pool heavy in black, but will not see high level constructed play.
Let's see how wrong I am:-)
