On top of that, at least according to google, Surrakar is a creature only existant in Magic.
To me that simply looks like a Demon. Given that it's the only creature of that type by now i guess there are two possiblilities why Wizards designed this. They either want to hint at a new more important creature type coming in future sets, or they felt just like getting some old-school feeling by printing a card à la "name defines creature type" scheme back then when it didn't really matter that much.

Pretty strong for black in Zendikar limited. A lot of the time its basically 2 for a 2/1 Fear which is pretty damn solid.

This guy can be a BOMB in limited especially with adventuring gear.
Constructed... eh not so much. Until Black gets some better landfall synergy than through artifacts I don't think this guy really has a place. Intimidate is nice, but it's dead if your opponent is going black or artifacts, where as pump still serves a purpose.

I like it, but what is a Surrakar and what's the point in giving a Black creature Intimidate? Might as well be Fear since, when it comes to Black creatures, it's the same thing.

Forever overshadowed by steppe lynx and plated geopede. Who cares about evasion when you can have (with mandatory adventuring gear) a creature get a whooping +4/+4 each time you drop a land?
I wanna make a deck using him for casual play...almost.

Not sure what the point of introducing the Surrakar creature type was. In an age where flavor is king introducing a creature type that is, from all I've seen, entirely irrelevant to the plot seems like a strange choice. I get the sense this'll barely be a piece of trivia. Which two relevant tribes did Zendikar block originate? Answer: Eldrazi and Ally.

2/1 for isnt that bad, and it has a kinda useful ability... nice in limited, there are far better things in constructed.
