Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5
The novelty of Shoe Tree wore off really fast, but I thought Farewell to Arms was kind of fun. So we'll see where this ends up after I play with it. In the very least, you can use it as an inefficient removal spell and just not do the other thing. I guess it'll come down to if a 4/1 flier is super relevant to the board. A random 2/2 in Working Stiff rarely was.

My apologies, children, for I am afraid I cannot save you all.
Skull Saucer looks like a real pain in the neck. Can't say it's my favorite card of the set. But the image of someone playing it with Handy Dandy Clone Machine does make me grin.

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.
It's the dexterity cards like these that have always turned me off from the Un-Formats. Don't get me wrong, I really love the direction they've gone with so many of the cards in this set. It's just that I didn't enjoy Knight of the Hokey Pokey last time and Skull Saucer seems even worse.
Question: How would you go about enforcing the rules on these dexterity cards if your opponent has some kind of disability that prevents him/her from physically performing a certain action? There's nothing fun about telling someone in a wheel chair that they have to sacrifice their Skull Saucer just because some outside variable has left them physically unable to put their head on the table.

I see what you're saying, but hopefully:
what to expect when drafting Unstable is made clear before you buy in.
knowing what the set is like, you could possible skip drafting Skull Saucer.
hope that your opponent is a decent human being, since it's a joke set and all.
you're going to not care and have fun anyway, since it's a joke set and all.

In which Doritos Hands becomes a tactical advantage.
