MaRo mentioned that we will see a future shifted card with a previously unused mechanic, and since it is also an enchantment matters block, perhaps Arcanum Wings will finally see the light? Or perhaps because of the promotion of Horde magic (hydra fight), we will see Imperial Mask. And then there's boring old Lucent Liminid
I think a lot of people are forgetting that you can use this guy with mana dorks extremely well. First two turns dropping 3 dorks and this guy on turn three means either more fuel for the creatures, a massive fatty (on turn three, I remind you), and over time with the defensive games those one drops can turn into worldspine wurms or whatever else you'd like.

Creatures your opponents control with hexproof can be the targets of spells and abilities you control as though they didn't have hexproof.
3, Sacrifice ~: Creatures you control gain hexproof until the end of the turn and are unblockable this turn.
Ransom doesn't just give the opponent a choice; it gives the opponent a new choice every time they gain priority. The ransomed creature can never swing for lethal, can rarely-if-ever attack alongside a creature it beats in combat, and is the worst cipher target possible. Enjoy your terrible combats, Dimir.
Are you nuts? Using this on a Thundermaw Hellkite or something like it is pretty much game for Dimir since by then it's very likely that RDW's hand is on the field. Forcing them to fight their own creature until they can grab two cards to throw in the trash is awesome.
I think a lot of people are forgetting that discarding two cards is evil later in the game especially for the current aggro environment. You HAVE TO discard the cards for it to work, and no deck that likes its creatures also enjoys hanging onto its hand.
I think the token hate, in terms of style, is meant to be the idea of him slipping through a bunch of soldier's legs, but in terms of gameplay, he can't just be chumped by a human or a spirit, which makes a difference. Not to mention the fact that 1/1s die to him anyway so long as you're attacking en masse.
It's shaky, but this might find a happy home in boros because of double strikers hitting things twice. Sure you blocked my attack which would have won me the game, but I'm just going to win it anyway now.
This cuts around color restrictions and shows you their hand right away. Quite a bit better.
Red deck wins will be very happy I think. Early AND late game potential.
I think that Red-Green are the antagonists of this block judging from the trailer showing a Satyr as a usurper.
I love this quote and I love you.
