I can imagine most people salivating at the prospect of swinging with Sword of Feast and Famine on turn 3.
Now that's a busted play, swing, untap, Lightning Bolt to your face. I guess this guy will see play in Standard and may even show up in Modern, any Sword or Jitte is insanely better with this guy on the table.
Makes me want to brew in RG in Modern with Slagwurm Armor and Assault Formation maybe with some mana acceleration in the form of SSG and/or Chancellor of the Tangle thrown in. (Of course it dies to every removal out there.)
T2: (If it survives) Drop G source land, CastAssault Formation swing for 7
Not game winning or maybe even that competitive but sounds like fun nonetheless. Not as quick of course as the Hammer combo out there.

Playing since 1994: Currently MAGS (HomeBrew),Standard & Pauper (Pioneer and Modern are degenerate trash formats)
STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Would be fun to equip this with a Godsend, plus since Stoneforge Mystic is unbanned it even makes sense for the colors.

Warriors, torch-bearers, come redeem our dreams
Shine a light upon this night of otherworldly fiends
Odin's might be your guide, divorce you from the sane
Hammer's way will have its say, rise up in their name
Scratching hag, you rake your claws, gnash your crooked teeth
You've taken slaves like ocean waves, now feel the ocean seethe

That card is gas, in standard I can see people playing colossus hammer just for the ocasional 9/9 haste first strike turn 5-6. Also we have that mace equipment for standard(that cost 3 and gives more bonus the more creatures enters the battlefield ).
People can also try a sigiled sword of valeron for a while, executioner axe is from core20 and there is also the flash red legendary equipment
Could this be the red creature from the 2 cmc good card cycle (tarmogoyf, bob, snap, stoneforge)?

TBH I'd rather play the humble Marauder's Axe over the shiny new mace from Eldraine, T1 Champion T2 Axe is way better than waiting until T3 to play a card that only grants vigilance, and requires you to play two additional creatures in order to outshine the axe, the new BR Lance would be faster as well. Either way, prepare to face this guy in every single Knight deck, looks like one of the chase rares of the set for now.

This is an amazing quote. Because, you know, most people consider Young Pyromancer to be the red entry in the club. Oh, yeah, and this card costs 1... minor detail!
I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Dowsing Dagger. I think that makes this card explode. It creates tokens to keep some form of board presence, and obviously it ramps +3. Being able to fetch it with SFM is pretty good too. Run some Return to the Ranks and Rally the Ancestors for recursion. Sigil of Vigor helping you finish? I dunno, I just think there is a lot of potential there, that puts a ton of pressure on your opponents.

I think red just found its new best 1 cmc creature.
White: Stoneforge Mystic allows me to tutor an Equipment, and cheat Equipment onto the battlefield.
Blue: Snapcaster Mage grants flashback to any instant or sorcery card in my graveyard.
Black: Dark Confidant draws me extra cards at a reasonable price.
Green: Tarmogoyf gets bigger with every card type in all graveyards.
Red: Hold my beer.
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.

nah goblin guide is still better than this. Don't get me wrong this is a excellent red knight but all its abilities are more dependent having other creatures or depending on equips being in play to leverage it, where as guide just need to plunk don on turn 1 and go deal 2.

I'm confused by what you mean, here. Dowsing Dagger gives the tokens to your opponent. That's why it's not very good.

I don't think we'll ever had a creature for red in this pantheon - since it's very Red to not be able to make up its mind.
I'm not seeing this guy in Modern. He needs equipment in order to be any good, and SFM can only provide so many of those. It's hard to come up with a combination of equipment that actually OHKOs (especially ones that provide protection or evasion on top) and doesn't turn this guy into a 4+-card combo.
Nah, if we're looking for the Great Red Cheap Drop, it needs to depend on less restrictive stuff and fit in more decks. (I'd also prefer it to be good even if it doesn't attack--note that Goyf is a dang fine defender.)

Oh wow, yeah, I missed that part... again. I did the same thing during Ixalan spoilers. It was late, I did a scryfall search for 2cmc equipment with an equip cost < 3. Woof.
The ability to grab Paths and Bolts from your deck repeatedly for RW is kind of mouth-watering in my opinion. Would play out like a midrange deck but wiping out a few creatures before swinging with a 5/1 First Striker sounds pretty fun.

I can assure you the biggest problem with this will be Cavalcade of Calamity if there's enough red knights.
Now that's a busted play, swing, untap, Lightning Bolt to your face. I guess this guy will see play in Standard and may even show up in Modern, any Sword or Jitte is insanely better with this guy on the table.
I was thinking this, too; I missed them. Great card, too. I love this whole deal.
T1: Reveal Chancellor of the Tangle or Exile Simian Spirit Guide, Play red source land, Cast Fervent Champion and Slagwurm Armor Equip for free, attack with a 1/7 haste first strike.
T2: (If it survives) Drop G source land, CastAssault Formation swing for 7
Not game winning or maybe even that competitive but sounds like fun nonetheless. Not as quick of course as the Hammer combo out there.
