That's really weird, because I was positive there was a thread for this already, but I don't see it now.
But no, I don't think this card is very good.
I wanted to follow up to address your confusion here.

I just shot you instructions (log out and back in). If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer them, with the caveat that some stuff is still getting sorted so my answer may be "I'll get back to you".
Lol, this happened to me as well. Do you know perhaps how I can get my account name back?

This is super exciting. I'm also definitely at least testing it, and sadly, it'll probably be Gearhulk for me. Mostly sad because I just picked up a foil a week or two ago.
Not being able to remove blockers for R hurts it a lot. It doesn't seem like this would have been too broken as an instant, is it just because it is a common? I will probably pass for cube but ill definitely get afew for the kitchen table.
The worst part is it probably the only lightning bolt riff we are going to get, and I was really hoping for a better one. I guess if its "too strong" it affects older formats by giving burn decks another bolt.
I don't remember where I read this (I think somewhere on MTGS), but it's probably a sorcery because they don't want shocklands ending up being spectacle enablers in Standard.

I like this enough to test it out. Having access to planeswalker removal in a color that doesn't traditionally have it makes this worth taking for a spin, and I think I do like this more than Ghor-Clan Rampager, although it's roughly as good. I'm going to try cutting Bloodbraid Elf for this, I guess, since I refuse to cut or reassign Tattermunge Maniac.
I like this card, but don't like that it costs 2RG and therefore won't be playing him. Can't justify playing him over Sarkhan, and have no interest in running 2 planeswalkers at the exact same mana cost.
In the same boat as everyone else, except that I'd want to play this before Terastodon personally. I cut Terastodon a while back and haven't looked back. I didn't like having both Terastodon and Woodfall Primus side-by-side, and the lack of trample plus the chump blockers generated just didn't do it for me. Also being incentivized to destroy your own stuff resulted in it getting less play than the others.
He is very good in aggro. Drops early, good stats, has evasion and reach, and it slightly gives an edge on close matches. I just might place it in, and remove Mardu strike Leader or vampire Nighthawk.
I like this a great deal more than others seem to. The threat of activation on the deathtouch is real, and leaving behind two 1/1 fliers is great. It doesn't go in the same archetype, but I may take this for a spin over Magister of Worth.
