Very strong early and can keep "chump attacking" late or feed a Butcher. I think it's great.

I am pretty sure you don't as that would mean this rare is useless by itself and Tymaret, Murder King doesn't work
I think the question on the table is, does it read:
"1B: If Bloodsoaked Hero is on the battlefield, return another target card named Bloodsoaked Hero from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate this ability only if you attacked with a creature this turn."
or
"1B: Return Bloodsoaked Hero from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate this ability only if you attacked with a creature this turn."
You need one on the battlefield to use the raid ability.
I am 99% sure that you are wrong (unless the translation is wrong too).
Yeah, it's a very aggressive riff off Reassembling Skeleton. It just comes out of the yard if you Raid and pay. It's cool that you can keep doing it if you have mana, if for example, you want to give Butcher of the Horde lifelink before damage.

Finally, a good rare. The first post lacks the Raid text, so I saw it as simply a RARE Tormented Hero...and sadly, I wasn't surprised. That's what this set has done to me. I completely expected that Wizards had decided black Savannah Lions were now rare-worthy.
It's good to see that it actually does have a pretty awesome effect. Definitely need a playset of this guy.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be the second one. Whoever was doing the translating just has to work out if the equivalent phrase of "a card named" is in the ability anywhere. If it isn't, it *can't* be any iteration of that first option.
The literal translation is "Raid - 1B: Return a Bloodsoaked Warrior from your graveyard to your battlefield. Activate this ability only if you attacked with a creature this turn." It shares this kind of wording with the Japanese Demigod of Revenge and, probably more importantly, Bloodghast and Nether Traitor. So yes, I think that you can activate the ability while its in the grave.
What is it w/ self reanimator black creatures that can't block?!?!?! I have been wanting one for a while... and I mean more than Reassembling Skeleton - w/ at least a 2 power.
Very, very good with that 1BRW 5/4 flier, and solid alone.
Like Gravecrawler before it, however, it should have been uncommon. Not a high enough board impact to merit rare, and not busted enough in Limited to need to be a rare either.

You know what it is like. You wake up after that big sleep, feeling all groggy, what with that bedhead. When you first wake up your kind of sluggish and out of it as you will be needing that morning coffee to wake you up.

Gravecrawler is rare because Limited. Limited would be so stupid and silly if something like Bloodsoaked Hero was uncommon, Limited being the same format where you can have more than four of the same card, I have seen decks that ran nothing but Dampen Thought and islands in Limited.
If something is rare but you don't feel it should be there, its because of Limited. Limited always gets balanced first and many of the singletons one might find in one's LGS or Online is from Limited as hundreds if not thousands of players are cracking packs.

Nice imagery, but this isn't a Folgers commercial. And I mean in general, they can't block. Your flavor is missing one thing, these blacks reanimators never get out of the bed-head, groggy state.
Give me a few minutes to find something to complain about.
Anticipated secondary market price?
WotC bleeding our pocketbooks dry?
This set being Limited fodder and not a Constructed-playable-palooza?
Indeed, joking or not, this is too true.

"I'd say this about guarantees that it won't be up till this Friday, but considering the current track record, the ETA is now probably two weeks after the set has been out."
