We have had a rare one-drop creature in timespiral, lorwyn, shards, zendikar, scars of mirridon, innistrad and rtr blocks. should this give me a good reason to expect one in this block. If so, do you think that the set is in a position for it to occur in this first set of Theros?
We just got one in white (Soldier of Pantheon)... the chances of seeing one in red is rare (no pun intended). As much as I'd love to be an optimist, we gotta be real here.

I really hope you're wrong. Red needs it also after losing Stromkirk Noble and Vexing Devil. RDW has some great tools at higher CMC right now, but it needs the low cost fodder to get you there in the first place. Legion Loyalist is a great start, but like his name implies, he needs a legion. Let's see one or two more efficient red creatures. That would make my day.
I would be very surprised if red didn't get another one-drop creature. If not a rare to replace Stromkirk Noble, they could go for a fun uncommon similar to Rakdos Cackler.
Even if we don't get one in Theros(set) we'll get one in BotG. Mono-red looks okay right now, but does need another 1-drop. Akroan Crusader might be all we get though.
Might just have to go Gruul aggro, it's looking really strong and will probably stay that way.
So I just took off my Nike and ate it. A bit surprise that there is another 1 drop... and it's red. Lol... this set feels like it's pushing Boros quite a bit.

Figure of Destiny sort of counts. It's red, it's rare, and it's a one-drop.

Heh. I hesitated to include it, but decided that there might be some people out there who are sad about losing it.
