Does indeed seem like a pretty powerful card. I remember when a vanilla dude with Firebreathing cost multiple mana. Being a 1/1 firebreathing with upside for R is really solid, and the Soulbond guy saw some standard play.

The fact that he dodges sorcery speed removal is key. he avoid board over-commitment, and he kills control when they tap out for Ugin.
I'm aware of those and they don't count. Brawler is not a 1/1 and stonewright is conditional. I actually think this card paves the way for a 1/1 for 1 with firebreathing(and no other upsides) in the final core set.

RDW just found a new poster child. I wonder how this and Monastery Swiftspear will play together in Standard.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
umm...so on top of Mardu Scout , Goblin Heelcutter and now this card Lightning Berserker , Mono red is looking like it's going to to be just fine. 1 red to dash? Sweet.

Pay 1 and x against a tapped out opponent to fireball them, and the fireball comes back to hand Yeah, mono red's okay.
Instant four-of in Mono-Red sideboards for Standard. Bring it in against any decks that don't tend to have a lot of stuff on the board, like UB Control.

only sideboard? i think this guy is definitly mainboard material. currently mono-red plays the 2/1 satyr, and i really think that his guy is way better.
because he has no drawback, can be pumped much cheaper, and can be like a repeatable fireball on en empty board especialy vs control.
i dig this guy, and hope i get 4 of them with pre-release and my display^^

I will always firmly stand by the belief that Magic is a game first and a collectable second.

He works well with Foundry Street Denizen, maybe there's a place for him in Standard red decks?
