The card is important but not as important as it's artwork. Here we see that while Innistrad has mostly been depicted with a mix of Medieval technology and Victorian style, they do in fact have guns.

Great in limited and may even get to see play in budget token decks.
Love the art - Werewolf pwnage in the background.

I had two Champion of the Parish on the battlefield, 5 life, and three of these in my hand at the prerelease. I can definitely see how the Human hate (Zombie Apocalypse among others) is justified, this card pretty much breaks the deck.

The perfect Fateful Hour card: a playable, solid spell normally, but it gets a +150% bonus when you're in a tight spot.

I kind of wish it was instant speed, but that would be broken, eh?
I don't even care about the Fateful Hour thing, I was gonna run 4 in Monowhite Humans and Pauper anyway!
Second-best common in the set after Faithless Looting, although that doesn't mean much.
5/5

Those aren't guns. Those are crossbows. See Elite Inquisitor

Most people have already mentioned Champion of the Parish, Mentor of the Meek, and Soul Warden with this. I can also see a 
deck using those cards as well as Village Cannibals, Unruly Mob, Skirsdag High Priest, Thraben Doomsayer, and/or Devouring Swarm. Bringing in tokens lets you draw cards and pump the Champion. Sac the tokens to the Swarm to pump the Mob and Cannibals and trigger the Priest for fatty fliers.

This card rocks my socks on toast. / Tokens with this as the 2 drop is insane.
Turn 1: Champion of the Parish
Turn 2: Gather the Townsfolk, beat face with your 3/3 dude.
Turn 4: Thraben Doomsayer or Lingering Souls, and a whole ton of chump blockers/face beaters.
And the Fateful Hour ability is very, very relevant. It swings games.

Ever since this card was spoiled, right up until I opened it at the pre-release, I thought this was an instant. I was a bit disappointed, I've recently been spoiled by Raise The Alarm's appearance in the boros deck in Duels Of The Planeswalkers. However, not to say that it's bad, it's at sorcery speed for a reason and I can respect why, thus a solid and reliable card either way.

As a Mono Red player I am going to be crossing my fingers to win the roll every game so I can cast Slagstorm after that play Axelle.
