Ok, this should see play in Standard, 4/3 for 2 mana without a serious drawback? Sign me up, casting this on turn 3 discarding a Fiery Temper is all what Rakdos is about, not to mention you can always pitch an Aftermath or Embalm card to it, though all embalm costs so far seem too high for RB aggro,or just chuck an excess land to it. I suspect RB madness will become a more major player in the upcoming meta, and that would be nice.
Good point. But red has the better madness shell, doesn't it? Vampires and Fiery Temper and stuff.
Sure, but my admittedly-casual experience with madness is that it really wants free discard outlets.
These "discard a card when it comes into play" cards feel like they work significantly better with Embalm by getting you above curve creatures early and late game presence from your graveyard.
In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.

Exactly. Discard Honored Hydra and embalm it into play turn 4.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I can't wait till I can play my bicycle land out, thus making me heckbent, while I have Nessie on the field. You know, so I can attack with my Pervert.
Dawww.... it's like a baby Balduvian Horde... remember the days when cards like this were rare?
Anyway, fantastic Limited beater, good madness enabler, Minotaur... could find a home or two.
Balduvian Horde was basically "another Juzám". It does the job, somewhat, but without Dark Ritual, Juzám is weaker. (Notice also how little impact Phyrexian Vatmother, or "infect Juzám" had on Standard.)
These days, Soviet vanillas like this have to have a much higher power-to-CMC ratio, from 1.25 to 2. And unless they're black, they're probably uncommon, at least.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Red Green Madness looks super fun. This Being able to discard Honored Hydra is great. And now Green as a 2 drop which allows you to discard it, and now red has a 2 drop which allows you to discard it. The new one drop also grows now when you discard. Deck will be a lot of fun.

Yea, something like According to Hazoret, all those who fight for her are her people.
Also, these are Mino-oven not Minotaurs?
If Pale Rider of Trostad didn't see play, is this really that much better?

T3 Neheb or Rhonas
T4 Hydra Embalm
T5 Samut or Glorybringer
This is midrange at aggro speed. Throw in Hanweir Battlements for a little haste if you're off curve.
