In a madness deck theres few things better, because you discard right after a mana refresher. Often overlooked.

Love this guy. I use him all the time in my mono black madness deck. Can't go wrong with a 2/2 flyer with haste for 3 mana!

Great great card, man. 2/2 Flying Hasty Rebel for cmc 3? Even in a deck where discarding isn't to your advantage he's good.

Nah, I wouldn't say he's good outside of a madness/hellbent deck. Look at Skyknight Legionnaire.

I like this card, it's very open ended. You can do a lot of things with it.
The most obvious thing you can do with it is beat face and then sacrifice it. Frankly, two to the face for three kind of sucks, unless of course you want to sacrifice a creature.
This card is well at home in Savra EDH, This card turns into a spell that says "2B: Pay 2 life, deal 2 damage to target player and every other player sacrifices a creature". Great card advantage in EDH. Fill the rest with your standard Savra ordeal, black market, mortician beetle, good sacrifice outlets and lots of creatures that like to sacrifice themselves. Echo and Cumulative Upkeep are well at home in Savra, as you can always opt out of paying. However there are better cards to run, but it is, sort of, playable.
This card could go in Thraximundar EDH, but if you are running with Grixis colors, there are better cards to put in, black and red both have good mana ramp to play your general, blue has tons of ways to protect your general, black has ways to make opponents sacrifice creatures pumping your general, and red has plenty of Ball Lightning type creatures to further pump your general and murder with general damage. All in all, no real point to put this in that deck, there are better cards.
But this has an almost perfect home in Malfegor EDH, or should I say Madness EDH. The strategy of Malfegor is simple, play him and reap the benefits. He is a nice 6/6 beater to pound away with general damage in the air, but his ETB trigger is too much fun to pass up. To make this general even better, fill your deck with madness and a few discard cards, such as One With Nothing, This card, Cunning Lethomancer nad maybe a few others. Not only do you reap the benefit of having your opponent sacrifice a bunch of permanents and beating them in the face, you still get to play a large number of cards for madness.
For gimmick value, I run a Rebel deck with only White mana sources and a small number of nonwhite rebels for recruiting. This thing makes the cut for when I get a Blightspeaker in my hand and no Vivid Meadow, and I can always get it back later with a Ramosian Revivalist.

If you type troglodyte mtg into google you get a weird version of this card with no image that is called Diablotin troglodyte but with the text of this card. weird.
