There's always that one guy that drafts the hyper-aggressive deck and will draft like 5 of these and 3 Bone Saws and will wreck everyone in the face.
What I'm saying is, card is good.
3 Bone Saw sounds like a recipe for disaster. I personally think Bone Saw will end up being unplayable, but I could see the argument for one or two. After that you're just upping your chances of spending entire games with no creatures.
Not that I think Goblin Freerunner is bad... it just needs a critical mass of decent creatures at 2 and 3 to support it.
It really depends on this set's Surge enablers and cards. If they end up printing a Surge one-drop creature (like, say, a 2/2 for R), then I could totally see myself running 2~3s of Bone Saw (or, hell, maybe even more) so I can consistently get my one-drop/two-drop curve on Surge Aggro. That would make a mean beatdown machine.
If it ends up being only two-drops and three drops, then Bone Saw varies from meh to pretty alright-ish.
This is really good for RDW or Atarka Red for the same reason that Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh is good - the sheer amount of 1- or 2-drops. On turn 3 , just cast this after a Swiftspear. Or Zurgo. Or Wild Slash. or Titan's Strength.
This will see Constructed play.
In the current meta, I think I'd rather cast Abbot of Keral Keep or Hordeling Outburst or Goblin Heelcutter turn 3 than a 3/2 do-nothing without haste. Not that this isn't playable, and won't be part of the puzzle at some point, I just don't see what you'd cut right now.
This is a reference to the sport of Freerunning which is in fact real (just look). Well Goblins seem to do just about everything, including building snowmen so not much surprise. Interesting that its much more fairly costed at its surge cost, it also likes Gutshot.

Wayne Reynolds. 'nuff said.
Otherwise, sweet card. That Bone Saw will be in high demand
