When stumbling over this card I wondered if it was good enough, so atleast I'm not the only one! It seems quite decent to me. On turn 2 it allows for a 2-drop on turn 3, which is quite normal for red aggro. And if that's not the case, you just use it for 2 damage. The question then is if there is a card I want to cut for it. Maybe Ash Zealot?
Not a bad card, but it really does cost somewhere between 2 and 3 mana (assuming that splitting between 2 and 1 is an upgrade over 3, which it usually is). This card can lead to some really awkward turns and mana is incredibly tight in red aggro decks. A pass for me, but I'm interested to see how it performs for others if they test it.

I think this would have easily made it in 2-3 years ago but we've gotten a whole lot of great red 2 drops in the past few sets. This is a pass for me, but it's a good aggro critter for sure.
Thoughts on this? Compares favorably to Keldon Marauders, despite having 1 less toughness.
