Sir Eton John here is awesome
wonder if a standard deck with him and Guttersnipe would work

It seems all pyromancers need goggles.

This should work well in a red deck

Not bad in a dedicated counterburn deck.
Interestingly enough, the more of these you have in your deck, the less effective they become, since you reduce the number of slots for instants and sorceries that way.

Some people--some very intelligent and well-respected people--have predicted that Pyro here could be Legacy playable. With all due respect to Evan Erwin, Matt Nass, Caleb Durwald, and PV, I just don't see it. Free dudes with every spell is exciting, but 1/1s don't seem to represent the kind of meaningful advantage that Dark Confidant, Stoneforge Mystic, Snapcaster Mage, and Tarmogoyf all bring to the table. Maybe I'm crazy. These guys really really know the older formats better than I do and I'm very likely underestimating the effect because I tend to underestimate how many spells top-tier decks tend to play. Time will tell.
That being said, this card is exciting because he brings a form of repeatable advantage that the average red deck simply doesn't see. That, all by itself, makes him a creature to watch in the upcoming standard format.

@ Continue:
Thalia's good and all....but she's more like Knight of the Reliquary or Gaddock Teeg good. The OTHERS you named, are closer to MASTICORE good.
See Deep Analysis (not the Nicol Bolas one).
Masticore-Good means ''the subject appears to be broken". Wizards is deliberately in a mindset to try to NOT make such cards. And it's really hard to accidentally make ACTUALLY Broken cards for Red. We simply won't see this cycle completed. We simply won't.
STONEFORGE MYSTIC is your White Lady. The cards of the Power Pikers have to all be cards you would say should be *considered* for BANNING IN LEGACY because of how Broken they are. Not necessarily ACTUALLY banned, but that the conversation is a fair one to have. Thalia just does not qualify, and Stoneforge Mystic just does.
Goblin Recruiter is the closest Red will ever have to anything like the POWER PIKERS. THAT'S how good y... (see all)

Solid card here. The art is absolutely awful though.
