The Original Rakdos cult members where miners, laborers, and servicemen. Entertainment (for THEMSELVES) was a large aspect of the guild, not only because it made Rakdos happy (the other paruns gave Rakdos a guild so he'd be occupied with doing something productive for the plane rather than going on rampages and stopping the other guilds) but because it let the extremely underprivileged working class have something fun to do when their work got difficult, depressing, or dangerous. It "livened up their life". Did you know the majority of the undercity (the place the Golgari, Dimir, Rakdos and Simic live) was dug out by day laborers of Rakdos?
To me, the utterly complete and overspecialization and narrowing of focus to pure "chaotic entertainment", especially for the other guilds, is a disappointing turn for the Rakdos cult. I'd have liked to see more of the labor aspect than the "scary super clowns" that they've morphed into in Return to Ravnica.

Trample would have been better, but it's still a good card. In 90% of the cases you will play it with unleash.

It would be pretty funny if its favourite treats actually were innocent sweets instead of body parts.

This thing will be scary when it comes out. Sadly it can't take advantage of first strike defensively when unleashed, but haste makes attacking a much sweeter proposition.

He rides across the nation, the thoroughbred of sin
He got the application that you just sent in
It needs evaluation so let the games begin
A heinous crime, a show of force, a murder would be nice, of course!

The Evil League of Evil is watching, so beware
The grade that you receive will be your last, we swear
So make the Bad Horse gleeful or he'll make you his mare . . .
Get saddled up! There's no recourse,
It's "Hi-Ho Silver" signed Bad Horse

Unlike a lot of other unleash cards, this guy really benefits from haste.

It's a little generic but not too bad. 6/5 for 6 with haste are decent stats, and the first strike makes sure it won't just die. Flavor text is sadly cheesy. 3.5/5

I pulled 2 of these out of my packs at the pre release plus the one that I got from the guild box. This is a dang useful card the haste and first strike make it worth the cost in a tight spot.
